Posting small differences write-offs without adjusting taxes

[Former Member]

Good Day.

We write off small payment difference for A/P and A/R documents to an expense account through Automatic Posting defined in FBKP.  How can we write off the entire amount to the expense account without adjusting taxes?

The write-off expense account is assigned with '*' (all tax types allowed) tax category.  When we write off a small payment differences from a document using tax code, for example, A1, the write off will adjust tax amount to tax code A1 accordingly.  We do not use Posting Area or Business Area, Contract Receivable or Payable (therefore, do not have access to the "Tax Adjustment for Write Off" transaction.).  The Rules in Automatic Posts are unchecked for  Debit/Credit, Tax Code, and Reason Code fields.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Still trying to resolve the problem.  Anyone have thoughts on this?

Hi Stacy,

The system is calculating tax for write off GL because of it has default tax code. If you have not maintained any tax code for the GL, then it won't calculate the tax. Please share screen shot of the control data tab of the write off GL and document which picks the tax.

Hi Mukthar:

The write off GL account does not have a default tax code.  It uses '*' tax category with "posting without tax allowed".

If the write off line item uses tax code, for example, 25, it will charge off to tax code 25 automatically.  The tax code field is greyed out so is impossible to change tax code.

Thanks,

Stacy

Hi Stacy,

The write off difference GL has configured in OBXL and this GL should not maintain any tax category & posting without tax allowed check boxes. If it exists, then system will calculate on it. So maintain the GL which does not select the check boxes.

Yes, a simple change in G/L setting does exactly what we need.

Thank you Mukthar.  Appreciated.

Hi Stacy,

You mean you do not want calculate tax on write off amount, then remove the tax code field if you have maintained in the GL master data and keep it "*" (all tax types allowed) in the master record. At the time of posting it throws warning message, but press enter then it won't post any tax on write off postings.

Please elaborate where to remove tax code.

In the document entry screen, e.g. F-28, the tax code field is greyed out and therefore unable to change to a tax code with 0% tax rate.  Of course, we can delete that line and manually enter a new line item... but we hope this can be automated thru "Automatic Posting" setting.

Do you mean to remove the Tax Code line from the Rules in FBKP?  How?  Please provide detail steps.

Hi Stacy,

You have to change the tax category field in the expense account in FS00 under control data tab. Keep it as '*' and also select posting with out tax check box and save it.

Hope it clears now.
