Criteria for the closure of UNHRD sales

UNHRD provides Specific Services on a cost recovery basis and is IPSAS compliant. Therefore, UNHRD issues the Debit Note only when the services are completely rendered and/or goods are shipped out and received by the Partner, according to the INCOTERMS agreed.

IN line with UNHRD Memo on Criteria for closure of UNHRD Sales (Billing Process), the standard process for closure of UNHRD sales is based on the available actual value of the services provided by UNHRD to its partners, following the below criteria:

• Payment to supplier is completed (i.e. LIV posting, when the supplier’s invoice is available)
• Complete the postings of all Good Receipts against POs for Non-Food Items and Service Entry Sheets against POs for services r for Transport POs (when the supplier’s invoice is not available)
• Reconcile any other expenditure document not processes (e.g. Petty Cash document and Trip Document, etc.)

Exceptional closure of UNHRD sales can be applied only when the replenishment process is included in the Sales Orders. In these cases, provided that the services are completely rendered and/or goods shipped out are received by the Partner, the exceptional closure (Debit Note issuance) can be performed even if the replenishment is not yet completed. The reasons that require exceptional closure of UNHRD Sales include the below circumstances:

a) UNHRD realizes that the procurement for the replenishment will take too long due to operational reasons
b) The customer changes the original replenishment request into a request of freeze of the funds (under the customer account) for future stock implementation.


When the above cases occur, debiting of replenishment cost for Sales that contain replenishment process must follow the below criteria:

1. PO value (upon decision of the Hub Manager)
2. PR value (subject to approval and SCF signature of the Network Coordinator)
3. PI value (subject to approval and SCF signature of the Network Coordinator)

For criteria detailed above at point nr. 2 and 3, the Network Coordinator must also approve the eventual removal of the safety margin on the replenishment cost. Any other request for exceptional closure of sales for reasons not listed above must be duly documented and submitted to Network Coordinator through Finance and SAN units for evaluation and approval, on a case by case basis.

Preliminary check to prepare the SERVICE CONFIRMATION FORM

Once information about execution of required services (either internal or external) is received from all the sections involved in the service provision, and in case of cargo movement or Direct Delivery procurement, Proof of Delivery (POD) is recorded n WINGS thru the related posting in the system, as detailed in Chapter 6.4 Maintain Proof of Delivery, thru which it is certified that goods have been delivered/received at the named/agreed place, Additionally, in case of Internal sales UCS staff sends a message to the Internal Partner requesting to post the GR on the ZPO. Once the above is performed, UCS staff prepares the Service Confirmation Form (SCF) as compulsory document required to start the following financial actions as detailed in the following chapters.


The SCF is generated from WINGS report named Logistics Reconciliation Report (transaction ZSCR126) and contains the relevant information about the services provided and the WINGS documents that have been generated starting from the Sales Order. UCS staff generates the Service Confirmation Form starting from WINGS report Logistics Reconciliation Report. The Service Confirmation Form is approved by the Hub manager or his/her Office In Charge and share it with Finance for further follow-up with CO for GR.

Submit the SERVICE CONFIRMATION FORM

Once the signed SCF is uploaded on the Dashboard, UCS staff sends a msg to UNHRD Finance to advice that the document is available on-line.

With regards to the Self Insurance Scheme the Packing List with the indication of actual value of goods dispatched should be submitted together with the SCF to UNHRD Finance. Accordingly, insurance rate on the SCF/DN will be calculated based on the actual value of goods dispatched.
