Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the General Ledger work center.
- Go to the Periodic Tasks view.
- Go to the Reconciliation subview.
- Select the Run ID: XXX (XXX stands for the Run ID).
- Open the Log Result.
- Select Messages tab.
For Source Document Type 272 - Tax Ledger Account, there is the error message: Calculated tax amount differs from posted tax amount for journal entry ABC. - Select Tax tab.
- Select VAT / Sales Tax Calculation Details subtab.
For journal entry ABC, there is an absolute difference and the status is in error. The calculated tax amount is AAA and the Posted Tax Amount is BBB resulting in the Absolute Difference of AAA.
ABC stands for the journal entry ID.
AAA and BBB stand for the tax amounts.
Cause
Journal Entry ABC is from the posting of customer invoice XYZ where the tax code used is '550 - VAT Split Payment ex DPR 633/72 Art. 17-ter, Standard Rate 22%' for Italy.
With tax code 550 the customer pays the VAT directly to the tax authority. Hence, the VAT posted is offset in the system making it being posted VAT is zero.
Resolution
The tax absolute difference is from the nature of the Split Payment for VAT in Italy and the absolute difference can be ignored.
