VAT invoice for China

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We are working on the cofiguration of the VAT invoice for China.

But we are not very clear how to do the configuration for it?

Could anyone can give us some flows/steps for the China VAT invoice configuration?

Or can anyone share your experience of it with us?

Thanks very much.

Thanks Lakshmipathi,

Actually we have done some configurationby following this document before.

But the problem is we still not clear about the VAT operation of the SAP.

For example, a normally SO follow is like this:

Sales order -> DN -> Invoice

Now we can see the tax in the SO by done the configuration.

But if we need the VAT invoice, what should we do?

1.Create the VAT invoice directly in VA01 or create a VAT invoice by a normal sales order?

2.For the sales order, should we still create the normal invoice or not?

So it is better some one can share the VAT invoice experience with us.

Tks

Not sure about China but it is a general practice being followed that a separate VAT number range should be maintained in SNRO and apart from VN01 number range, this VAT number will also flow in the SAP billing document.

This means, there is no separate VAT invoice to be generated but the VAT number range will be continuous as and when the despatch is made within that region.

thanks

We have another question.

In the SAP VAT China document, it inform us we should do teh config. for the itemized and summarized invoices.

So what are the itemized and summarized invoices used for?

We don't clear about the purpose of the itemized and summarized invoices.

Could any one give us some support?

Hi,

1) The SAP flow of the VAT invoice is same as a normally sales flow in SAP?

Yes, it will be same. Sales order, delivery and (VAT) Invoice.

2) The VAT invoice must be done in the GTS, but not in SAP?

Yes, You must print the VAT invoice from GTS. It is mandatory.

3) We just export a normally invoice (with tax) into GTS, not need any other special document, right

Yes, You just export the invoice into GTS.

2 more questions:

1) By following SAP help for China, it says we can print the VAT invoice in SAP.

Standard SAP doesnu2019t support 100 % of the requirement. So it is better you should have the interface between SAP and GTS.

But you suggest us export the invoice and create the VAT invoice in GTS.

So could you give more detail information?

Once you create the SAP invoice in VF01, you have to export the invoice into GTS. Technical people have to create a new report (ALE list). In this report you can select the SAP invoices, then the selected invoices will be exported to GTS.

Technical people have to specify Maximum amount per VAT invoice 99999 RMB. If one SAP invoice exceeds this limit, then the System will automatically print another VAT invoice.

They will also maintain the Maximum line items per invoice (Max 8 items per Invoice).

When you export the SAP invoices, the system will create and save one text document . In this text document, the system has Customer name, VAT registration number, Address and telephone of buyer, Bank name and bank account of buyer, Material Number or Material Description, Qauntity.Amount, Tax rate, Tax amount.

From the Text document, you have to print the VAT invoice from GTS. As i mention, this text document has Customer name, VAT registration number etc.

Once you print the VAT invoice , then Import invoice information which is exported from GTS to SAP.VAT invoice number will be written into header text of accounting document.

2) If we are using the INT for the char of accounts, can we still exprot data into the GTS?

I donu2019t know about this. I think you can export data into GTS .

Thanks

Hi,

There is no SD configuration for VAT invoices in China. VAT invoice is an ABAP development.

Because you have to print the VAT invoice from GTS. So there will be an interface between SAP and GTS ( Golden Tax Software ).

You create a sales order, delivery and invoice.

First you have to Export SAP billing document data to GTS.

From SAP, the VAT relevant data such as Customer name, Address, Customer VAT number, Bank name, Bank Account, Material, Quantity, VAT amount etc.

Once you print the VAT Invoice from GTS, then Import invoice information into SAP . VAT invoice number will be written into header text of accounting document of the SAP invoice.

Because once you print the VAT invoice, then that SAP invoice should not export again to GTS.

Hope this will help you.
