Symptom
Tax exemption is maintained in the Supplier master data level, still the tax exemption is not picked up by the system automatically while creating the Supplier Invoice for a Supplier who is tax exempted in the its master data level.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Supplier Invoicing work center
- Go to Invoices and Credit memos view
- Search for Invoice and go to taxes tab
- We see the tax exemption is not picked up in the invoice automatically
Cause
Supplier master data level tax deductions cannot be achieved as per the current system design. Tax deductions must be maintained in Product level master data, in order to pick the deductions in the Supplier Invoice creation.
Resolution
The possible solution which we would like to suggest is as below :
If the purchase involves a foreign country (ship to address or Supplier address), the Tax exemptions need to be maintained
- either in the Product Master Data.
- or in the Supplier Invoice by changing the Tax code manually.
If you feel it is important to maintain the tax determination at the supplier master data level, kindly put up your query as a new requirement in the customer influence forum.
