Recalculate tax function in Sales tax code form

Posted on by Community Member

Dear Partners

Would anyone please give a more in-depth guidance on the workings for the Recalculate tax function in the Sales tax code form? I haven't been able to find much except Technet :

" Recalculate sales taxes for transactions that have not been posted and that use the selected sales tax group."

Earlier on we were facing inbalance in journal entries, and by chance we found this function is able to resolve this and posted successfully.

I'm supporting a client, where this function seems to be causing some unexpected behavior. We are still investigating further, (unable to repro), but customer claims this function has changed the sales tax code of the journal lines.

So I'm trying to understand further on what this function actually does at a table level(or other perspectives), that might cause other side-effects.

    Hello Daniel,

    An example for the use of this function is a change in the sales tax rate.

    Imagine that on 12 February your sales tax changes from 10% to 20%.

    If you have lets say several unposted GL or AP invoice journals and if you simply change the tax rate, this change will not have an immediate effect on your unposted transactions that sit in those journals and they would still use the old 10% rate.

    By using the recaluclation function you can update all recorded but unposted transactions. As a result, they would be posted with the new 20% rate.

    So, by making changes to your sales tax setup and using this functionality you can change sales tax calculation and posting.

    Hope this helps,

    Ludwig

    Hi!

    Do you know if the recalculation also includes any open sales order lines with the new tax rate %?
