Actual Sales tax amount

Posted on by Sten Baumgarten

When I create a General journal with two lines (Ledger and Project) I get an error with sales tax direction and a discrepancy between General ledger and subledger Tax.

First I create a line where I want to post a VAT amount on a main account for manual VAT. I add the relevant Sales tax code under the General pane.

Under Sales tax menu I have the following information about the calculated VAT and Tax direction:

Then I add the amount on the lene with Account type Project. This is the only addition to the journal.

This change the Actual tax amount but the Sales tax direction is the same´.

It seems that the same issue exist when I use Customer instead of Project, but not if my offset account is another main account.

Have one of your experts experienced the same issue and do you have a solution where the Actual sales tax amount does not change based on the offset Account type?

Best regards

Hei Sten,

Which product version have you done this test? Have you added tax setup for the journal line with project type also?

I have just done this test on standard 10.0.21 while i cannot find the same behaviour.

I have checked the journal line with "Ledger" account type and I cannot find that the Actual sales tax amount changes based on offset account.

Have you tried to activate the following feature? Nice if you can activate this and test again the same scenario

Hi Sten,

We faced this issue earlier where system was taking sales tax receivable as direction instead payable.

That looks to be bug but now in current version, we don't see the issue.

Hi Alireza

The version is 10.0.18 PU42.

I did not use Sales tax group and Item sales tax on the line in the journal but sales tax code. This to be able to post directly on the main account for manual VAT.

The feature you mention was not enabled. After I enabled the feature I got the result I was hoping for. This means that your suggestion solved the issue.

Thank you for your help :-)

Best regards

Hi Saurabh

I thought the same as you but the feature "Enable independent sales tax calculation of general journal" that previous was not enabled solved the issue after I enabled it.

Best regards
