IPS Build 158 Released

Build 158 of IPS has been released. As well as the ERA rate changes the build also introduces many feature rich options and addresses issues with the uploading of XML files to the RPS identified since the 157 release. An email has been sent to all user main contacts and information and download files are available from: http://www.turnkey-ips.com/p_IPS_Downloads.aspx

Paymex and VAT on fees update

Users will be aware that HMRC has issued a further update on the position and both Trust Deeds and Company Voluntary Arrangements now also qualify for exemption. Build 157 included an ‘IVA Fee VAT Potential Refund’ to assist users in assessing the likely recovery of VAT across their IVA caseload. We have now adapted this grid to include the facility to obtain this information on Trust Deeds and CVA’s as well.







The new PAYMEX VAT Potential Refund file is attached and can be copied to:

RP14/RP14A – files last updated 07/11/2011

Minor revisions have been made and the latest files are attached or can be downloaded from our website. Regular checks on either our website or this forum will provide the latest updates in relation to these files.

There is also a modified RP14A Details Grid as we recently discovered that users were importing information and overwriting the Pay Day for M and M5 pay types – these should always be a Saturday of course, as will Not Knowns. We have added an additional column so that you can now see the Pay Day you have entered and the actual Calc Pay Day which will be used.

The files should be copied to

to replace the existing ones

IPS Build 157 - Release Date 27 October 2011

Since the release of Build 156 in August, we have had further clarification and ruling on a number of unusual ERA situations which we have now added into our calculations. In addition the RP14/14A files have been modified as the RPS finally provided us with a testing route and the majority of uploads are now being completed successfully.

Please Note:users of Build 156 wanting to upload RP14/14A information to the RPS website before they have applied the Build 157 upgrade must get in touch with Turnkey to obtain the latest version of these files. Earlier Builds do not contain the requisite fields and so the upgrade to Build 157 will be essential. The RPS have stated in their latest newsletter (October 2011 Issue no 10) that once CHAMP is live across all RPS sites, they will not accept RP14/14a in any format other than OCR forms or IP Upload.

TPS The Future of Cashiering

Following a presentation of Transaction Processing System ('TPS') at the IPS User Group Meeting we would like to make clear that this system has been written as a direct result of large firm requirements for centralisation of their respective treasury functions. Such systems will allow cashiering staff to evolve from data entry staff to active treasury managers with an important compliance role. However we wish to emphasise that TPS is a separate chargeable bespoke module and not part of standard IPS.

IPS Portal

Users wishing to take advantage of the 2010 rule changes and upload creditor reports to the web may now use the IPS Portal, this dedicated web service provided by Turnkey will allow data and/or reports to be streamed from IPS to the web (once authorised). Page design can be customised to user specification and our staff will be on hand to guide you through the set-up and use.
