Account Determination - VKOA

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

For account determination in SD we carry out entries in VKOA which determines the GL to be posted.

But we am facing a problem in case of tax condition types to be posted to GL accounts.

The account keys we are using is JN6 & the entries in VKOA are as under:

V KOFI TFJV 5000 1 14 JN6 2040303006

But we have noticed that even when we change the GL account to some other same GL account is getting posted.

This happens because of entry in OB40 like: JN6 + Chart of Accounts + 2040303006

So even we change the GL in VKOA there is no effect of it unless we change entry in OB40.

Kindly suggest what the issue is & how can this be tackled.

Regards

Hi There

Tax Condition are not picked up through VKOA but only through OB40.

This is because internally system checks the condition category in VKOA and if it is tax condition control goes to OB40

Hi Dhananjay,

In your case it seems you are using TAXINJ tax procedure. Tax amounts are directly fetched from the Tax codes maintained in transaction code FTXP. If in FTXP for a particular tax code - select account key MWS - click on tax accounts - here the system will display the G/L account in which the tax will be posted.

This entry comes from the settings made in OB40 by the FI consultant (finance module). You won't find any G/L settings for txes in transaction code VKOA. Normally tax G/L account is directly fetched from the settings done in OB40.

So my advice is delete the settings in VKOA & if you want to change the G/L account for tax then change the settings in OB40.

Reward points if solution helps.

With best regards,

Dhananjay,

If you notice the Account determination for the account key MWS (standard account key used for tax MWST) you donot find the assignment of GL accounts done at VKOA. and the GL account is picked up from the OB40 settings made on the certain rules (by FI).

If your case is similar, delete the account determination at VKOA and then process by maintaining the GL account at OB40 for the account key JN6.
