Definition

Has the effect that taxes are calculated and posted automatically.

The following different cases exist:

  • If only business partner items and no general ledger items were entered for the combination country/tax code, the taxes are calculated from these items. The difference amount is posted as an automatically generated general ledger item. (For example, post a receivable with tax, 115 EUR, automatic generation of revenue item of 100 EUR, and tax item of 15 EUR).

  • If only general ledger items and no business partner items were entered for the combination country/tax code, the taxes are calculated from these general ledger items and the general ledger items are then reduced by the amount of tax calculated. (For example, write off a receivable of 115 EUR by entering a general ledger item of 115 EUR in an expense account and selecting the item to be written off: The general ledger item is reduced to 100 EUR, 15 EUR tax is posted).

  • If business partner items and general ledger items were entered manually for the combination country/tax code, the taxes are also calculated from the general ledger items and the general ledger items are then reduced by the amount of the tax.

If a tax company code is specified, all taxes are posted in this company code. If no tax company code is specified, the taxes are posted in the same company code as the items from which the tax was calculated.

The function "Propose general ledger items" is a pure input help and has the same result for calculating taxes as when the general ledger items are entered manually. In particular, the result of this proposal (in the above example) is not 100 EUR revenue, but 115 EUR revenue. The taxes are also contained in the amount and are calculated for posting as described above. They reduce the amount in the manually entered general ledger item from 115 EUR to 100 EUR.
