How to create supplier or customer down payment request without tax code.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Resolution
Depending on the legal specifications of the country, it needs to post tax on down payments or not.
In Manage G/L Account Master Data App (SSCUI 150001) check in the control data section the field 'Tax category'.
If the value is '+' or '-' or '*' down payments are displayed as net amounts. If the value is '+B' or '-B' down payments are displayed as gross amounts. For down payments it has two methods (net or gross) how tax can be posted in FI. If the tax is posted, it must define whether the down payment is to be displayed with or without tax in the open item and special G/L accounts.
If no tax code needed, the tax category of the G/L account should be left as blank.
With net display, the down payment is posted to the open item and down payment accounts without tax. The tax is posted to the input or output tax account. With gross display, the down payment is posted to the open item and down payment accounts with tax. The tax is posted to the input or output tax account. To clear the tax, the system also posts the amount automatically to a tax clearing account.
