Symptom
You have created a supplier invoice with multiple line items which have same net amount but the tax is showing different for each line(with a minor difference in decimal places).
Environment
SAP Business By Design
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Supplier Invoicing work center
- Create a new supplier invoice from common tasks view
- Enter 2 line items with same price (say price is X) for each item
- However, the tax amount which got calculated is showing different for both items (a minor difference in decimal points)
Cause
On header level the total amount calculated for tax is P.QR (gross tax amount) , which is Y% of gross amount rounded to 2 decimal places.
Now, individually at item level, when we calculate the tax,
Tax:
Line item 1: Y % of X =P.QRXT
Line item 2: Y % of X =P.QRXT
Now if we round both the items equally to P.QR and add them up, then total tax becomes little more or less than the actual gross tax amount.
So, the tax amounts in the item level differ by a small amount in order to add up to the calculated header tax amount.
Resolution
So, to balance the header tax amount, one line item shows a minor difference in the tax e.g. (a difference of say .01) so that the total tax value matches the ultimate header tax amount.
i.e. Tax=
line item 1: P.QX (rounded to next value)
line item 2: P.QR (not rounded)
On adding them, the total tax amount displays correct value.
