VendTrans and TaxTrans difference in TransDate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hello AX experts!

I have recently been working with a client (AX 2009) to build some reports. I am joining between VendTrans and TaxTrans with the fields DataAreaID, Voucher, and TransDate.

However I have noticed that for a portion of the records (around 10%), the TransDate in TaxTrans is different to the TransDate in VendTrans. It can be anywhere from 1 day different, up to 200+ days.

In every case where the TransDate is different, I investigated the tax values, and found them to be correct.

When I check some other client systems, there is always a TransDate agreement between VendTrans and TaxTrans.

I am wondering whether anyone has encountered this situation before, and knows why it occurs, and how I can interpret the date difference?

Please let me know if I can provide any clarification to help you answer this question. =)

    Hi cddt,

    Have there been any modifications made in regards to the tax caluation in AX?

    Do you know if somebody did some "hard" changes on the database level and changed those dates?

    Another thing to check is whether your joins are correct. Probably try to pick one of the records that look strange to you and try to identify the transactions in AX. The simplest option to identify them is the voucher inquiry form in GL. If you found the voucher you can have a look at the transaction origin to see what has been posted in the different modules.

    Hope it helps,

    Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig, thank you for your response.

    Unfortunately I do not have access to the frontend, I only have a copy of the database backup to work from.

    I do not think that it is possible the dates were changed directly in the database (either deliberately or through error) as there seems to be no consistency or pattern to the changes.  

    I do not know whether any modifications were made to the tax calculation, however I will discuss this possibility with the client.

    If I discover anything from my investigations I will post back here!

    Hi

    Would you already have an idea about this?

    I seem to have a similar problem.

    On the environment there are transactions posted on a vendor in september 2016. However there a taxtransactions related to these postings with a transdate of 1jan2017.

    Audit trail & datecreated/modified of TaxTrans shows me that both transactions and the taxtrans were created in sept2016. So we I don't understand why the transdate of the TaxTrans can be 1jan2017.

    One of the ideas I had was that it could have to do with the module access level in ledger: That maybe due to some posting restrictions set here - AX allowed to do the posting of the vendor invoice in sept2016, but TaxTrans was created in the next open period. (I thought of this because in my case, the TaxTrans was just a Taxtrans containing a base amount, without a posting in the ledger & the posting was done on the first day of period).

    Any feedback about this is more welcome; Environment is AX2012 RTM

    Hi ChPtm,

    Unfortunately we were never able to get to the bottom of this, and are still interested in hearing any explanation.

    I think it is important to note that the journal posting for the tax amount is still posted on the correct day in the correct fiscal period. Therefore it is correctly represented in the General Ledger.
