Hi,

While posting a payment journal, I'm getting this error "Sales Tax code must be entered if the account is a Sales Tax account'. In this payment journal, we're making direct entry into an account defined for VAT on expenses.

Thanks.

Hi,

Can you personalize your payment journal and add the sales tax code field?

Once that is done, enter the respective code that you need and post the journal.

Dear Ludwig,

I tried your suggestion, but when I'm selecting the required sales tax code, I'm getting a new error "Ledger account 522130 is not among the accounts in account group VATKSA that are used for sales tax code VAT0%".

Regards.

In the Journal lines form, you only have the Chance to fill SalesTax Group and ItemTax Group. (I'm afraid Sales tax Code cannot be added by personalization, as it does not belong to the datasource)

To specify the sales tax Code, you have to click the menuitem "Sales Tax" and add a line here. The first field is sales tax Code, which you will find from the lookup..

Hi,

Can you try posting this Transaction in a GL Journal?

And can you check you tax account setup for the tax code VAT0%?

The Account that you are using has posting type Sales tax? if that is the case then you will have to provide Sales Tax code in this Journal.

We have similar issue here

Last month there was a posted GJ journal between VAT Payable Control Account debit and VAT Recoverable Control Account credit for 15000. Both are Posting type VAT.

However i have noticed that at that time there was no VAT code specified. Now , user realised there was an error of 5000 exceess. Hence is passing another GJ entry opposite with value 5000. During posting it comes as "Posting results for journal batch number JBN-00xxx Voucher GJL-00xxxx VAT code must be entered if account number is a VAT account." And if you try to select a Vat code it comes up as "The Account that you are using has posting type Sales tax? if that is the case then you will have to provide Sales Tax code in this Journal."

Is there any way to resolve this?? By the way we are using D365.

Hello Saan Jones,

After posting the first transaction has something been change with the setup of your ledger accounts?

If you are able to post 15000 without an error you should also post -15000 without an error.

Probably ensure that you do not switch the DR or CR amount recorded but use the very same amount as recorded in the original transaction but with a negative sign in front.

Thanks Ludwig, I am just a week into this business, so to early to say anything. However what i have seen is they have Cash Invoice VAT Code which they have recently added a conditional VAT and changed the Settlement period. Does that make any impact?

I tried with -ve line but with the same result.

"Posting results for journal batch number JBN-0xxxx Voucher GJL-000xxx VAT code must be entered if account number is a VAT account. "
