Funny Tax Requirement

Question

Hi,
I have a funny tax requirement where the taxes have to be paid first separately and the AP invoice amt will have to paid separately after that. So its like this :-
Invoice amt = $1000
Vat at 7% = $70
If the user has to post the vat first as an AP invoice so that he can make payment then the only option he has is to post the tax amount manually to the vat gl account instead of using the automatic tax posting. It will be like this :-
First posting for the tax :-
Debit vendor  70
Credit vat account 70
Second posting for invoice amt after 1 month :-
Debit vendor  1000
Credit vat account 1000
However if he post in the above way then take note that the above vat of 70 will not be booked into the tax amt field of the BSEG table. Hence his tax reports will not show this amt as a tax.
How can we solve this problem?

Answer 1

hi,
I am afraid both solutions will not solve the problem because of the following reasons :-
First Solution : What will be my tax base amount? The system will not allow posting unless a tax base amount is entered in FB60. You can try it yourself. I think you are asking me to debit vendor and credit vat account using F-02, yes i can do that and treat it as a simple journal posting but the problem is the special tax amount field WMWST will not be updated if i directly enter the tax amount to the vat account. Thats why we have to either have the system calculate the tax for us automatically or enter the tax amt in the special field WMWST labelled as (Tax amount in the fb60 screen). If the tax amount is not written into the WMWST field then your tax return report will not show this tax amount.
Second solution : Same problem above. The WMWST field will not be updated with the tax amount.
