We have two legal entities that we frequently create intercompany expense reports to/from. US01 and CA01 (United states and Canada)
Currently in the GL parameters for sales tax, 'Legal entity for intercompany tax posting' is set to destination in our US LE. With this setting, all Use taxes are working as expected, but we have issues with our expense reports entered to our CA projects as it is pulling the 'destination' tax settings, which obviously throws an error when trying to post. It is clear that the answer for this issue is to change the above setting to 'Source'. In order to do that, D365 makes you set 'Apply sales tax taxation rules' to No.
After changing the above 2 settings, we can now no longer post use tax entries in our invoice journals as I get the following error: "The ledger posting group WASHOE does not have an account for sales tax direction Use tax specified. Make sure the account is set in the Ledger posting groups (Tax > Setup > Sales tax > Ledger posting groups)."
I have tried populating Sales tax payable, Sales tax receivable, Use tax payable in the ledger posting setup and am still getting the error.
On the main accounts, for the account set on the above tax code, I have set the posting type to 'Sales tax' and on the legal entity override I set the sales tax direction to 'purchase'. Is there somewhere else I should be setting the sales tax direction? What am I missing here?
