Hi

Normally, tax on sales and purchases is reported when an invoice is issued. The tax payable amount is calculated as the balance of the input and output taxes and cleared in the subsequent period. The tax for some transactions, however, can only be deducted on settlement. This is common in France (output and input tax) and Italy (input tax).

Procedure:

This program automatically makes the transfer posting for tax on sales/purchases periodically. The return must be filed within a certain time period after the invoice is paid. Program RFUMSV25 first creates a log of the cleared customer or vendor invoices posted with deferred tax within the period. The program takes the tax amounts with their tax bases from the document tax items. Customer or vendor data and the respective clearing date are taken from the offsetting items. Tax items are only cleared if all the corresponding items have been cleared. To make the transfer posting for partial payments, the program creates a corresponding clearing item.

The program differentiates between partial payments and credit memos. The transfer posting for the tax amounts proportionally allotted to credit memos is only made when all affected invoice items are cleared.

This report program carries out immediate transfer postings for the deferred tax of down payments.

Requirements

If you select the indicator "Carry out batch input" (resulting in transfer postings for the deferred tax), this program can be started ONLY ONCE for EACH "Clearing date" you enter on the selection screen.

Customer and vendor line items with a posting key for payments without special G/L indicator must not contain deferred tax.

Special G/L indicators to be considered must be entered on the selection screen.

Down payment clearings must be posted using SAP standard transactions.

Partial payments can only be posted for one specific invoice at a time. If a partial payment affects several invoices, a separate document has to be posted for each invoice.

Each payment transaction has to be posted separately, that is, several incoming or outgoing payments cannot be posted using just one document.

One period must be specified for the clearing date. The parameter "Open items at key date" refers to the items in the account for deferred tax.

To be able to assign the tax amounts properly, you have to post the invoice documents according to SAP conventions. If the program cannot process a document correctly, it will list the document in an error log.

Documents with more than one current account line and more than one G/L account line that is relevant for tax cannot be processed. These documents are posted in an error log.

This program is occasionally used by companies who have invoices in

several currencies. If this is the case with your company, you should

note the following:

Only use the program for a single currency in each case, and enter

the currency that you wish to select in the "Document currency"

selection field.

In the configuration functions, ensure that the "Balances in local

currency only" field has not been selected for the relevant G/L

accounts.

The exchange rate difference accounts for the relevant G/L accounts

must be configured correctly.

The "Permitted special G/L trans." selection field controls which special G/L transactions are to be taken into account by program RFUMSV25. This field is for certain special cases only and no entry is normally necessary.

You cannot process down payments with bills of exchange. These are displayed in an error log.
