2335218 - Wrong tax Code in Intercompany Supplier Invoice

Symptom

You expect a different tax code in the Intercompany Supplier Invoice.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
  2. Go to the Invoices and Credit Memos view.
  3. Select the relevant Intercompany Invoice which was created automatically by system based on Customer Invoice.
  4. Check the Tax Code on the Items tab under the Tax sub-tab and observe that it is incorrect.

Cause

The details of the Intercompany Supplier Invoice are typically derived from the corresponding Customer Invoice. However, if the Tax Details for the Ship-to party have not been provided, an incorrect Tax Code may be selected. This leads to the wrong Tax Code being used in both the Supplier Invoice and the related Customer Invoice document.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, you need to maintain the tax details for the Ship-to party:

  1. Go to the Account Management work center.
  2. Go to the Accounts view.
  3. Select the Account of the Customer Invoice.
  4. Select Edit.
  5. Navigate to Financial Data tab.
  6. Select Tax Data.
  7. Click on the Add Row button under Tax Numbers.
  8. Enter the necessary Tax Details.
  9. Select Save.

Additional Information:

  • The Automatic Tax Determination flag is only checked in the Supplier Invoice when Tax Determination occurs at the Supplier Invoice stage.
  • In general, Intercompany Supplier Invoice details are based on the corresponding Customer Invoice.
  • Tax Code is determined by Tax Event, Tax Type, Tax Rate Type, and Tax Deductibility.
  • The Tax Event used in the Customer Invoice tax code determination is also used to determine the tax event for the Supplier Invoice tax code determination.
  • The Ship From and Ship To addresses in the Intercompany Supplier Invoice are fetched from the Location address maintained in the Supply Chain Design Master Data work center.
  • Ensure that the Country and Postal Code are correctly maintained in the Ship From and Ship To addresses in the Supply Chain Design Master Data work center.
  • Please refer to the attached Excel file, which displays the standard mappings of tax events on the sales side with tax events on the purchase side (specifically for countries US and DE).
