Automatic Tax Calculation Issue

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I faced the following issue with the system does not automatically calculate tax (V3 - 7% input tax domestic vendor). My double entries are as follows:

Debit: Exp GL 100, Tax Code, V3 - checked the calculate tax

Credit: Bank GL 100

When simulation, error message: Posting is only possible with a zero balance; correct document (Message no. F5 060)

Note:

1) There is an item line: Other line items 7.00 during the simulation.

2) The above problem only happen when I use client SAP userid. My SAP userid does not have the said problem

Using my sap userid, I can successfully generate the following document:

Debit: Exp GL - amount: 93.46

Debit: Tax GL - amount: 6.54

Credit: Bank GL - amount: 100

Hence, from here, one point to be noted for the problem is the tax line is not 7, but 6.54, which is [100 x 7] / 107.

Any idea? Thanks.

Thanks Sridevi,

Yes, I change the userid settings [Calculate taxes on tax amount] in FB00 - Editing Options for user parameters:

The F1 tells:

If the tax amounts are to be calculated, you can specify here that the G/L account amounts are to be entered net (i.e. excluding tax). If not, the system assumes that the G/L account amounts entered are gross and not net of tax.

My further question on SAP Best Practices:

Which options should be used or most commonly used?

Hi,

In document posting screen, select the button - Editing options.

In it, select - "Calculate taxes on net amount'

Your issues will be solved.

Pls .assign points, if useful.

Thanks,
