2962436 - The Monthly Invoice Generates a Tax Difference of 1 JPY - Yen

Symptom

You notice that the monthly invoice generates a tax difference of 1 JPY - Yen.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Receivables work center.
  2. Go to the Invoice Summary Documents view.
  3. Open the relevant Monthly Invoice.

There is a Total Tax Difference of 1 JPY - Yen.

Cause

This is the correct system behavior:  The difference occurs due to the rounding of each individual invoice and the rounding of the monthly invoice that adds all other invoice amounts.

For example:

  • Invoice ABC has a tax base amount of 153 with a tax rate of 10%, it would generate a 15.3 tax amount, since JYP has no decimals, it will round to 15.
  • Invoice DEF  has a tax base amount of 153 with a tax rate of 10%, it would generate a 15.3 tax amount, since JYP has no decimals, it will round to 15.
  • On the monthly invoice XYZ, both tax base amounts add up to 306. With a tax rate of 10%, the generated tax amount is 30.6.  Since JYP has no decimals, it will round to 31.
  • The tax amount of the Invoices ABC and DEF adds up to 30, while the monthly invoice XYZ has a total tax amount of 31. It will generate the 1 JPY - Yen in the tax difference.

(ABC, DEF are two different invoice IDs, XYZ represents the monthly invoice ID).

Resolution

System is working as expected.
