Hi,
In case of Import PO, Excise Duties don't come from Tax Procedure, These come from MM Pricing. Here you have to use a Zero % Tax Code.
First of all create following condition types in M/06, as suggested below method;
JCDB IN:Basic Custom Duty
JCV1 IN : CVD
JECV IN : Ed Cess on CVD
J1CV IN : H&SECess on CVD
JEDB IN : Ed Cess on BCD
JSDB IN : H&SECess on BCD
JADC Addnl Duty of Custom
JCV1, JECV, J1CV and JADC will go to Excise MODVAT Accounts and JCDB, JEDB and JSDB will get loaded on inventory.
In M/06, for all above conditions, keep following controls;
Cond. class A (Discount or surcharge) Plus/minus A (Positive)
Calculat.type A (Percentage)
Cond.category B (Delivery costs)
Activate "Currency Conversion" and "Accrual"
Vendor in GR 2 (Entry always possible)
Then assign the above condition types in Imort Pricing in M/08
Also check following;
SPRO > Logistics - General > Tax on Goods Movements > India > Basic Settings > Determination of Excise Duty > Maintain Excise Defaults > Here assign following for Tax Procedure;
CVD cond. - CV1
ECS cond. - JECV
ADC cond. - JADC
And J1CV need not be assigned since it is hard-coded in SAP Standard program.
Also do account determination in OBYC as your have already done for MIRO of Customs Invoice.
Also check in SPRO > Logistics - General > Tax on Goods Movements > India > Basic Settings > Maintain Company Code Settings > Here Assign CVD Clearing A/c in your Company Code.
In case of Import Purcase;
1. First you create Import PO and input all the Import duties in PO.
2.Then you do LIV for Customs Office (Here you enter all the Import duties as per Bill of Entry) and following A/c entry get generated;
Customs Office A/c - Cr (Vendor Recon A/c)
Customs Duty Clearing A/c - Dr (OBYC - ZCC)
CVD Clearing A/c - Dr (OBYC - ZCV)
3. Then Capture Bill of Entry in J1IEX.
4. Then you do GR w.r.t. Import PO (MIGO), Accounting Entry will come as following;
Stock A/c - Dr (OBYC - BSX)
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Cr (OBYC - WRX)
Customs Clearing A/c - Cr (OBYC - ZCC)
5. Post Bill of Entry in J1IEX, and Accounting Entry will come as following;
CENVAT Receivable A/c (BED, ECS, SECess and ADC) - Dr (From Account Detmn of GRPO with Sub Trans Type - IP)
CVD Clearing A/c - Cr (From Compnay Code Settings of Excise)
6. MIRO - For Import Vendor
Import Vendor - Cr (Recon A/c)
GR/IR Clearing A/c - Dr (WRX)
7. MIRO - For Clearing Agent
Out of following conditions;
JCDB IN:Basic Custom Duty
JCV1 IN : CVD
JECV IN : Ed Cess on CVD
J1CV IN : H&SECess on CVD
JEDB IN : Ed Cess on BCD
JSDB IN : H&SECess on BCD
JADC Addnl Duty of Custom
JCDB, JEDB, JSDB will get loaded to Stock and JCV1, JECV, J1CV and JADC will get posted to CENVAT Receivable A/c
In M/08, assign A/c Key ZCC to JCDB, JEDB, JSDB conditions and Customs Clearing A/c in OBYC and A/c Key ZCV to JCV1, JECV, J1CV and JADC conditions and CVD Clearing in OBYC.
Note: - Here you don't have to use Tax Procedure Accounting (OB40) in case of Imports. Only maintain a Zero % Tax Code in Import PO.
