The benefits of making your business integrated with Opera 3 SE SQL

  The process of expanding your business inevitably gives rise to a whole array of challenges. As a growing enterprise, many difficulties can be addressed with the addition of an integrated business software solution, but this also raises the issue of selecting the right one for your business.   In many cases, businesses look to software to solve a short-term challenge instead of one which will address the challenges of the wider company. This leaves many companies running with incongruent systems across departments, such as Payroll, CRM, reporting, supply chain and cash flow management.   It is easy to get stuck in old patterns of working, which are largely ineffective because the thought of making a large change is overwhelming.

Important information regarding the introduction of “KC” as a prefix for National Insurance numbers

HMRC have recently introduced “KC” as a new prefix for National Insurance numbers. This change was not included in the specification HMRC provided to payroll software developers this year. It’s also not catered for by the Government Gateway itself. As a result, Opera 3, Opera II and Capital Gold payroll systems do not accept NI numbers with the KC prefix, and FPS submissions containing these NI numbers are currently being rejected. Until this issue is resolved, HMRC guidance to employers is not to enter NI numbers with the KC prefix into their payroll systems. We therefore advise users of Opera 3, Opera II and Capital Gold Payroll to leave the National Insurance Number field blank when adding a new employee with a KC NI number, and ensure that the employee’s name and address details are completed in full as HMRC will be using these as employee identifiers.

Why Cash Flow Needs More Than a Prompt Payment Code

The recent news that large businesses are still paying late is unlikely to come as much of a surprise to the 5.2 million SMEs it affects With the average SME owed around £38,186 and many expressing concerns that if this figure was to increase to £50,000 they’d risk bankruptcy, the scale of the late payment problem doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon. And given that SMEs account for more than 99% of private UK businesses, it doesn’t take an economist to work out that this poses a potential threat to the current growth we are seeing. So the measures to bolster the Prompt Payment Code (PPC) outlined last month by Business Minister Matt Hancock, were welcomed pretty much across the board. These measures, which stipulate a 60 day limit on payment of invoices, after which the company will be ‘blackballed’ from the PPC, and require companies working in the public sector supply chain to lead by example, are designed to encourage best practice. But in our view the late payment culture that we seem to accept as the norm these days, can only be tackled if political agendas are reinforced by practices undertaken by SMEs themselves. In...
