Existing development at Families SA
Scheduled for implementation 1st July 2012
Manages payments to carers of children
Daily payment run must happen
2300 fortnightly
300 weekly
1-20 daily
C3MS - Volumes
Job Cost tracks payments to each child
JC Project = GL Cost Centre / Activity
6500 children in care (Task)
850 cost centres/locations (Project)
Approximately 5,000,000 task records created
Only 10,000 used
C3MS - Problem
Basware impacted by loading 5m tasks
What is the alternative?
Create the tasks only when they are used.
But they must exist for Basware to validate
Use the SDK
C3MS - SDK
Create a template Project and attach every possible
Task to it
If the project/task does not exist check the template
If Task exists on the template Project validate
Pre-processor then creates Task record
C3MS - Preprocessor
Runs daily @ 11 am
Performs vendor adds and maintenance
Load JC journals
Checks invoices for new tasks
Creates Task add transactions
Loads invoice file
Payment run manual – at this stage
