Default VAT Item group on General Journal in 2012

Posted on by Adam Seaton

AX2012: Assuming you have a value populated in GL parameters default Item VAT Group, when you enter a multi-line journal using account type ledger on one of the lines (let's say customer on line one, and ledger on line two) then the default item VAT group from the parameters is entered on line two, the customer VAT group is copied from line one, and VAT is calculated.

When you enter the same as a one line journal, with the ledger as the offset, no code is applied and VAT is not calculated. I've not tested but pretty sure that was not the behavior in AX2009.

Anyone have an idea why, or how to force the Item VAT code to apply in this one line scenario when offset is Ledger.

Hi Adam,

The behavior is the same in AX 2012 and AX 2009. It depends if you have setup the journal name with the setting new voucher to "in balance" or "per journal".

When you have only one voucher per journal then indeed the system will calculate the Tax when line 1 has a customer and line 2 the ledger account.

To prevent this issue, normally I do advise to not fill the Item Tax group in the Parameters.

Thanks Andre, but I don't think that is quite what I need. The journal is certainly set to new voucher when in balance - that's fine. I agree also that normally the default would not be set. However, in this scenario I do want the VAT Item group to default on the one line journal. I want it to behave in the same way as the two line journal. Did I miss-understand?

Is this resolved, I have similar issue. VAT is not calculated when you have a single supplier line but as soon as when you enter offset account as account code it is showing VAT on that line.

So if you enter offset account on next line then VAT will be on next line and not on previous line. But if you enter offset account on same line then VAT will be on same line.

Need to know that VAT will be calculated only on account code and not in suppliers.

Is some setting is missing or it works like that only.

Thanks in advance. We have AX2012 R3 CU10.
