Single voucher with multiple customer vendor transactions VAT defaults in

Hi there,

I'm looking at a scenario in AX2012R3 where customer balances are cleared with vendor balances. The check in the GL paramenteres for "Allow multiple transactions in the same voucher" doesn't seem to be there in that version. Therefore, I can include in the same voucher a line for the vendor, a line for the customer and a line for a ledger account where I have the net of the two previous. This third line for the ledger account has the item VAT group defaulted automatically. Anyone knows if this behaviour is normal in these circumstances or if it is the result of a specific parameter/configuration?

Summary of the scenario:

GL journal. In one voucher we have:

- Customer 2000

- Vendor 500

- Ledger 1500

The customer and vendor amounts come from Functions - settlement: invoices to be clear selected, total on the journal. No Item VAT group on these lines.

Ledger line, difference between vendor and customer invoices. Item VAT group by default in the line. Why?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi CapsLock,

Why do you want to clear the customer and vendor balance and post it against a specific ledger account?

What is the business process behind that?

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Ludwig,

I want to do that, clear the balances of a third party that exists as both customer and vendor to pay just the difference. I know that the best practice is to use a bridge account but I would like to understand why in the scenario described above, AX defaults in an item VAT group on the ledger line.

Thank you!

Hi CapsLock,

Has the ledger account any specific tax setup in the chart of accounts?

You can define defaults and allowed/disallowed values for sales taxes there and I wonder if this is the case here.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Ludwig,

No, the ledger account didn't have any tax values defined. Any other settings that could influence this? I've tested the same scenario in a contoso company and no tax values default in.

Thanks for your answer!

Hi,

There is a setup on the general ledger parameters - sales tax tab where you can select a default item sales tax group. check if you have it informed.

Hi,

Right.

One can define the item sales tax group in the GL parameters form.

Yet, I understood that the sales tax group is the issue and if there is nothing setup at the main account level I don't know what setting might hit in here except possibly a system modification.

Can this possibly be checked?

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Luwig,

I think there is a confusion, CapsLock questions is:

"Ledger line, difference between vendor and customer invoices. Item VAT group by default in the line. Why?"

So, I guess the setup is on GL parameters since he already discarded the setup on the main account.

Let's wait for the answer

Kind regards

Hi Mauricio,

Effectively in Gl parameters > Sales tax > Item VAT group the value that was defaulting in was informed there.

Does this mean that any value there will default in all transactions unless a different one is specified somewhere else and that it would be better to leave it blank?

Hi CapsLock,

That is correct for all transaction not having a different default item sales tax group this value will be defaulted. I cannot assess correctly if this value needs to be blank or not, since I don't know why it was informed the first time but in my opinion yes, it is correct to better keep it blank, said that, better to check internally before removing the value. If this answer your question, please mark the issue as answered and close it. Thanks
