i have this killing error and it is related to VAT, i have setup 2 companies and one company is having no problem and it can post invoice journals with VAT and VAT is calculating and posting properly and there in no issue,

i have done the same vat setup in the other company and each time i am trying to post the invoice journal, i am facing an error and this error is killing me now

"The ledger posting group VAT Postings does not have an account for sales tax direction Use tax specified."

I checked everything, broke my head but could not find a reason of this error... and believe me there is no difference of setup in both the companies

i will start a new thread as well right now......

before posting invoice journal, when i click the VAT tab, here is the image which shows up and there is VAT direction, i think i need to disable this Direction, how, i don't know. Keep in mind i am in Saudi Arabia and very recently, the government has introduced VAT here. I am using 2012 R2

Hi,

On the ledger account setup for VAT posting, have you specified posting type as sales tax/vat?

Sure.

My steps here maynot be exact, but probably will help you figure out the required step:

1. Check the ledger posting group account for vat 5%. Let's say the account mentioned there is 201010.

2. Go to GL Module -> Main account and filter out the main account. In this case it will be 201010.

3. The ledger account form will have a field called posting type.

4. Specify posting type as Sales Tax. The posting type can be VAT also, I am not too sure, but I believe posting type should be mentioned for sales tax account.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Do you have all accounts setup in the ledger posting groups form?

Please check your sales tax code and the linked ledger posting group and verify that your posting setup is complete.

Best regards,

Ludwig

It looks like that you are trying to post regular VAT and not use tax?

Sounds like In one company, by mistake, someone configured the VAT to be recorded as a "use tax" and not as "normal" VAT.

Go to the sales tax group that is used on the problem transaction (or VAT group) form (depends on the language you use).

Find in the "setup" box, if in the line for "VAT 5%" code the "use tax" check box is selected - this sounds like a the mistake.

Hi Rimalt

Yeah i did

And let me write down the procedure i followed

i think i have already written in some of the answers, but let me write down here as well

Go to GL Setup

Under VAT (the name could be any based on your Tax setup in your AX Setup)

Select VAT Codes (You could have a different name)

(I have setup 3 VAT codes here, you might have more or less)

VAT 0% (in my Case, you might have different names all together)

VAT 5% (in my Case, you might have different names all together)

VAT NC (in my Case, you might have different names all together)

so i select the first VAT code - VAT 0%

Then go to inquiries menu --> Select "Include in sales tax group"

and there is check box named "use tax" which is already checked - JUST UN CHECK THAT CHECK BOX

PROBLEM RESOLVED - Good Luck, if you need any further assistance, you can ask me again
