3678060 - Tax Line item missing for EU VAT Reverse Charge Tax Code in app Create Incoming Invoice

Symptom

  • When posting a vendor invoice directly to an account using EU VAT Reverse Charge Tax Code, the VAT amount for tax code was calculated as 0, despite the correct base and percentage being displayed.
  • Other similar documents posted in the same way calculated VAT correctly.

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."

Environment

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
  • Create Incoming Invoices - FB60

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create Tax code for EU VAT Reverse charge with three different rates but total to 0 (e.g 13%/-22%/9%), and EU Code empty
  2. Access app Create Incoming Invoice - FB60
  3. Go to Editing Option
  4. Tick "Calculate Tax on Net Amount"
  5. Fill data for a vendor invoice directly to an account (without purchase order) using above VAT Code with an amount that would generate rounding difference (e.g 3,281.80)
  6. Simulate the document.
  7. Review the tax details section.
  8. The base amount and percentage are displayed correctly, but the VAT amount shows as 0.

Cause

  • There is an imbalance while calculating Zero Balance Tax due to rounding differences. Since the tax code YB's EU Code was set to blank at the time of posting, the distribution rule for Zero Balance Tax codes was not executed, resulting in the tax line being skipped.

     

  • This will not happen if "Calculate Tax on Net Amount" is ticked. There is another logic while calculate tax to adjust the Tax Base value to resolve the imbalance that is only executed if "Calculate Tax on Net Amount" is unticked.

Resolution

  1. Reverse the incorrect posting.
  2. Adjust the Tax Code YB to include one of the Zero Balance EU Codes (A, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
  3. Repost the Supplier Invoice.
