A/R Invoice, Tax@PLD,

Question

Hello experts!
I have two queries. Pls check if a solution can be found.
1. A/R Downpayment Invoice.
I have raised a sales order for Rs.10,000/-.
I received Down Payment of Rs.1000/-. I create Incoming payment.
In the above transactions "No tax" is applied.
I create A/R Invoice from sales order.
I Add 4% vat.
I select the Total down payment amount.
Total amount now due is Rs.9000/-.
The tax is calculated on Rs.9000/- whereas in reality it should calculate
on Rs.10,000/-.
2.PLD
e.g I manufacture a Laptop. Excise is applicable to it.
I import a mouse.
I locally purchase a pendrive.
Now I sell this item to a customer.
For Laptop Excise+vat is applicale.
For Mouse vat 12.5% vat is applicable.
For Pendrive vat 4% is applicable.
Excise Tax is broken into Basic Excise, eCess and Hcess.
I want to have all the Tax Amount individually in the PLD (not at Row Level).
If there are more than 1 item, then I want to have Total sum associated with individual tax codes.

Answer 1

I have posted the same question to SAP Support regarding the 'Tax Calculation' behaviour in 'Down Payment'.
Following is the Message which was Posted:

AR Invoice tax calculated incorrectly.
The scenario is as follows:
1. Tax Code by name Exempt with Zero Tax is created.
2. AR Downpayment Item Invoice for a customer is created with 50% of
DPM and 50% amount is paid.
Item001 Qty(1) UnitPrice(1000) Tax(Exempt) Tax Amnt(0) Total(1000)
3.a AR Invoice is entered with the same information such as
Item001 Qty(1) UnitPrice(1000) Tax(VAT@4) Tax Amnt(40) Total(1000)
3.b Total Downpayment button is clicked and the already paid 500 is
drawn to this Invoice document.
4. The Tax in AR Invoice is recalculated to INR 20 from INR 40 which is
not expected.
The actual requirement is like this.
1. AR Downpayment Invoice will be created without Taxes.
2. AR Invoice withbe created with Taxes.
Even If I use AR Downpayment Request, Tax values are posted to tax
ledgers and it is shown in all reports.
I am yet to get reply for this Message.
