Discount and rounding on Purchase Order and Invoice Amount

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Dear All,

We are working with AX 2012R3  and i have the following situation:

there is a PO with the following details:

total amount of the PO is 403,44 including vat.

When the invoice arrives, its booked in the invoice register:

you see that there is a difference in the amount of the invoice. that relates to a difference in vat amount and more important to price differences in the PO lines.

Through the invoice pool we are going to match the invoice with the PO. Meaning that for the first two lines we are going to adjust the amounts by entering the correct amount upon the line. After that the invoice orderlines matches the amount we have in our register.

So we have 4 invoicelines of which two were adjusted in the invoice pool and two lines remained the same. After posting it seems that AX has adjusted the last two remaining amounts by rounding/calculating for 0.01 cent. For the two lines in total it is 0.02 cents. Now the main issue is that the 0.02 cents is deducted from the accounts payable account...

Well in above view you see that account 1602 is credited with 405,28. That is the 405.30 minus 0.02 cents.

Does anyone recognize above behaviour of AX?

regards, eric

    Hi Eric,

    Unfortunately the Screen-prints are missing.

    You write that you made some adjustments to the PO lines.

    I would like to ask whether you have tried recording the rounding difference via the round off field available in the invoice form total form?

    Maybe that's something that would help alleviating your rouding problem.

    Hope it helps,

    Hi Ludwig,

    thanks for your reply and indeed the prints didnt come through :-(

    We tried your solution, but it didnt work either.

    but have looked at it with a developer, we noticed this particular thing on the accounting dsitributions where you match the invoice with the PO:

    "line 4: 0000441 (item number)

    -net amount: 80,79 EUR

    -Extended price: 124,30 EUR

    -Discount percentage: -43,50 EUR

    -Discount percentage variance: -0,01 EUR

    its specifically that variance line, that is lowering the total amount vendor amount.

    To us it seems that the item price of 80.79 creates a rounding difference whenever discount is applied. We could work with this functionality, but the 0.01 EUR variance is, as mentioned, lowering the total amount booked on the vendor. As it does this, its causing a difference between the already registered invoice (Invoice register) and the amount booked in the subledger.

    Hi Eric, The only thing that I could imagine that might help is adjusting the rounding rules in GL (currency form) and set it possibly to rounding-up. Have you checked LifeCycle Services whether this issue has already been reported before? Maybe a fix is already available? Otherwise, I would suggest to wait for the feedback of other community members that might have experienced the same issue that you have. Hopefully, they got a solution for you right away. All the best, Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig, well i have checked LifeCycle and it seems there is a hotfix for it: KB 2926226, we will install and test and see if it works for us.

    Thanks for your help.

    regards, eric
