Can you set up VAT Inclusive Freight prices in SAP?

Question

This was originally posted on the SDK forum. I have posted here to request answers as to whether VAT Inclusive prices can be configured in SAP specifically for Freight Lines or also for general product/sales products.
I am integrating a 3rd party web site order into SAP B1. The site can only provide VAT Inclusive Prices and cannot provide the VAT rate or code - that SAP order will be loaded with the VAT rate taken from the BP / Item matrix.
This is not a problem when creating order lines as I can use the <PriceAfterVAT> element (using DI Server). However when adding Freight Lines to the B1 order there is no equivalent element. It appears that I can only add a value excluding VAT.
Is there any way of adding a VAT Inclusive values to a Freight Line (either manually or via sdk)?
Can Freight Items be set up so that the value can be entered as Vat Inclusive?
Can Price lists be set up as VAT Inclusive prices?
I would prefer not to have to caluclate and enter the VAT exlcusive price as this involves mimicing the Web Sites VAT Matrix calculation and hoping that this mimics the SAP VAT calculation and hopefully not ending up with rounding problems. Note that the Web Site has already taken payment via credit card and the invoice from SAP must match the Web Transaction.
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi Nick,
Try to create the freight as a non inventory item. Create an item master data, lets say Freight. Un-tick option for "Inventory". Set the g/l for revenue just like you set in the freight setup. Set default vat code in the sales tab.
So what you have to do to input the freight is to add 1 additional item (freight) and put the price after vat like you required.
Hope it'll works
