Dear Asean Admin Managers,
As you may remember, Matsuo Japan is supposed to invoice Thai/Indonesia/Malaysia for business trip expenses
if you need specific supports such as sales promotion to your end users, IT support, etc from Matsuo Japan.
For your reference, below is written in the “Agent Agreement”:
[Subject to both parties’ advance agreement in writing, the Agent shall reimburse the Principal
for the costs incurred by the Principal in accordance with the following conditions.
a) Business travels requested by the Agent
b) Business travels to support for the Agent to fulfill his operation liabilities as per Section 2.
c) In other cases in which the costs are deemed to be incurred by the Agent]
Agent: Thai Matsuo/ Matsuo Indonesia/ Matsuo Malaysia
Principal: Matsuo Japan
We haven’t had any official application forms for this “advance agreement”, and so it’s been decided that
we introduce workflow application forms for these operations.
You can find these forms under “Business Trip Request” in Work Flow.
I’m sorry they’re all in Japanese…, but here are the explanations for each form.
1) Request
This is to for a business trip request.
Example: Thai Matsuo would like Mr. Masaki Matsumoto to come to Thailand to help them
visit their end users to promote Dainichiseika products.
I request the person for a business trip.
I agree to pay for the related expenses such as transportations, airfares, allowances and labour costs.
Approval route for this example:
Requester (Someone from Thai Matsuo) => Mr. Matsumoto => Mr. Kotani (as his boss) => HQ Accounting
2) Estimation
This is to agree on the estimated expenses for the business trip among related people.
In this example, the objective days are 2 days, not 4 days, therefore the related expenses will be
split in half between Thai Matsuo & Matsuo Japan
This is an estimation, so the total amount may differ from the actual. The currency is shown in JPY.
Approval route for this example:
Mr. Matsumoto => Mr. Kotani => HQ Accounting => Requester (Thai Matsuo) => Oam-san (as Admin Manager)
3) Actual
This is to agree on the actual expenses for the business trip among related people.
(Matsuo Japan will issue an invoice in addition to this form)
Approval route for this example:
HQ Accounting => Mr. Matsumoto => Oam-san
If any of you need detailed explanations, do feel free to let me know.
I’ll hold a meeting for this.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
If you have no issue with these forms, these will be effective promptly.
Kindest regards,
Yuka Saikawa
