VAT calculation against Sales Invoice Journal lines

Posted on by Phil Matthews

Good afternoon,

I am using the DEMF company in the Contoso database and when I generate an invoice, there is no VAT set against the invoice journal. I've adjusted the General Ledger parameters as follows:

On the invoice posting screen when I click VAT, it gives me values against the lines, but they aren't applied to the journal.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

I have the same question (0)

Hi,

Have you checked the below setup?

Sales tax value is coming in lines before posting ?

If Yes, have you checked in general ledger -- periodic task-- subledger journal not yet transfered?

Hi Phil,

Can you share screenshots of the invoice posting screen, the VAT and the invoice journal? I wonder what exact VAT settings are used on the invoice entry.

Hi all, thank you for your responses, I'll try to answer all of your questions.

So for example on creation of a new Sales Order, it is automatically assigned the AR-DOM tax group.

Sales Order Lines > Financials > VAT shows the calculated tax correctly:

Invoice posting screen thus:

Clicking VAT shows the same values as when doing so from the Sales Order.

Invoice journal. As you can see Amount against the lines is excluding VAT and VAT Included in amount is 0.

VAT has been posted against the invoice header, but isn't saved per line:

Voucher transactions:

I'm assuming that there's just a parameter somewhere that I've missed. It's calculating VAT correctly and posting it, it's just not putting it against the lines in the invoice journal, only the header.

I think I've answered all of your questions above, please flag up if I've missed one.

Also, my apologies, I have just realised that I missed a critical word in my initial post which would have made it clearer. The VAT is missing against the invoice LINES.

Hi Phil,

I have just tested in company DEMF with contoso data. I have activated following setup on GL parameters:

I have used a valid combination of Sales tax group and Item sales tax group:

Then, I get sales tax code for the invoice journal line:

Hi all,

Infuriatingly, I think this is actually working. I have just checked in the SQL database and the tax IS being filled in against the lines, it is just not showing in the application. I'm going for the usual clearing of user data etc.

Thank you for your help.

Phil
