If the interface between SCOT and MCCM is enabled for your country, you can transfer penalties calculated in SCOT to MCCM in order to generate Penalty Invoices for your suppliers. 


The condition for such data transfers to MCCM is that penalty amount must be bigger than Min Penalty Amount set in the supplier's contract.


Penalty Amount > Minimum Penalty Amount in supplier contract


IMPORTANT! Exception: value "zero" is accepted for Invoice cancellation.

You can cancel a previously sent Penalty Invoice by simply resending from SCOT to MCCM the data for the same supplier and the same period with value zero (0).

However, for Paybacks cannot be cancelled using this value 0 rule. For payback, zero value transfer to MCCM is not currently supported in SCOT.


How to transfer penalties from SCOT to MCCM for invoice generation


To transfer calculated penalties to MCCM, go to the Penalization Results section in SCOT.

Below the Search section, click on Transfer Penalty amount to MCCM button.



This will expand a new section where you can select the specific penalty information that you want to send to MCCM for invoicing. You can select specific portfolios, supplier numbers, interval and period.



Click on Preview to download an Excel file with penalization preview results where you can check your data before transferring it to MCCM.



When ready, click on Send Invoice.


In case you use Paybacks and need to reimburse some money to your suppliers, you can use the Send Payback button. (Of course, first you need to enter the Payback amount and recalculate penalties for the suppliers in question.)


In order to check the status of the data transfer to MCCM, click on Refresh. 

The Recent Activities grid will reflect the status and the final result of the penalty transfer. The grid has the following sections:

  • Frequency - Monthly or Quarterly penalty period, depending on your country's penalty invoicing policy
  • Month From - Month To - period for which the penalty amount transfer is done
  • MCCM Status - various statuses to differentiate invoice from payback sent
    • TO_SEND - Invoice/Payback transfer in progress 
    • SENT - For Invoices 
    • PAYBACK_SENT - For Paybacks
  • Total Count - total number of records transferred to MCCM (you can view these records in the Preview Excel as well)
  • Success Count - number of records successfully transferred to MCCM from the total count of records
  • Failure Count - number of records failed to transfer to MCCM from the total count the records
  • Aggregated Amount - total amount of penalties (if invoice was sent) or paybacks (if payback was sent)
  • Change At - date and time when transfer to MCCM took place

Special case for France


In France there is a legislation according to which two types of invoices can be sent to suppliers:


1) with compensation (original way in SCOT) - it means that suppliers can either pay the penalty amount or they can invoice Metro a smaller amount for their next orders (by subtracting their owed penalty amount from Metro's next order invoices)


2) without compensation (new option added in SCOT) - Metro asks suppliers to pay the penalty amount separately (not with the coming invoices)


These two types of invoices can now be sent from SCOT to MCCM based on your selection: with or without compensation.


The same will apply for paybacks, with the condition that paybacks are tied to the original invoice type. If original invoice had settlement type "with compensation", the payback also needs to be sent "with compensation". Same goes for "without compensation". Otherwise, SCOT will show an error.
