Change VAT Bus Posting Group on a sales order

Hi

Is there any way to change the VAT Business posting group on a sales order that has been shipped not invoiced without having to reverse the shipment. The VAT is incorrect, can this be corrected before posting the invoice?

I have the same question (0)

    RE: Change VAT Bus Posting Group on a sales order

    Hello,

    I am replying in case you can use my solution as my VAT database is down and I have never tested updating any VAT fields after a Post-Shipment took place. I did have a customer who had issues whereby VAT needed to be adjust or changed. Though I have not tested the part you already performed, the Post-Shipment, these are the steps I explained to them to adjust VAT for a sales document. NOTE: They also had Expected Cost turned off.

    1. On the General Ledger Setup page specify a Max. VAT Difference Allowed between the amount calculated by BC and the manual amount you might enter.

    2. On the Sales & Receivables Setup page, place a check mark in the Allow VAT Difference field

    3. Go to the Sales Order that needs adjusting

    4. Choose the Statistics Action

    5. On the Invoicing Fast Tab, choose the value in the No. of Tax Lines field. This will open a sub-page for editing

    6. Edit the VAT Amount field

    Here is a NOTE on the above topic:

    The total VAT amount for the invoice, grouped by VAT identifier, is displayed in the lines. You can manually adjust the amount in the VAT Amount field on the lines for each VAT identifier. When you modify the VAT Amount field, application checks to ensure that you have not changed the VAT by more than the amount you have specified as the maximum difference allowed. If the amount is outside the range of the Max. VAT Difference Allowed, a warning will be displayed stating the maximum allowed difference. You will be unable to proceed until the amount is adjusted to within the acceptable parameters. Click OK and enter another VAT Amount that is within the allowed range. If the VAT difference is equal to or lower than the maximum allowed, the VAT will be divided proportionally among the document lines that have the same VAT identifier.

    If anyone has a database to validate this please reply back.

    Thank you,

    Steve

    Hi Phil,

    It is not possible to change the VAT Business Posting group on a sales order after items have been shipped. When you have to change the VAT Business Posting group, you have to undo / reverse the shipment.

    After a shipment has been posted, it is possible to change the VAT Product Posting Group on the sales order line. But not the VAT Business Posting Group in the sales order header.

    Thanks Steve. I'll have a play in our test database and see whether this could be a possible solution
