Internationalization and Unicode: Tax

Calculation on Freight - Different Scenarios

Posted by PRASOON AK Mar 28, 2014
Hi,
I have seen many threads with different requirements of PO tax calculation with / without freight, freight to be
relevant for VAT only, not for excise etc for INDIA. In this blog, I am just sharing some of the standard options
for the different business scenarios.
Basic Settings:
1. Freight condition type with acrual flag inserted in MM pricing procedure with acrual key.
2. Tax procedure configured and tax codes with valid condition records.
Case 1: PO Tax should not be calculated over freight (Normal Case)
If the freight condition type is with acrual key and no subtotal maintained against the condition type in MM
pricing, then the condition wont be added to the net value / tax base and it wont affect the tax calculation.
MM pricing procedure:

Tax Procedure:

Test Case: PO with freight

PO price: 100 INR per 1 EA

Freight: 10% = 10 INR

Tax Calculation:
Note: Freight value wont be added to tax base and the freight has no effect on tax.

Case 2: The freight value should be added to tax base, so that all taxes (VAT, ED etc) will be calculated
over the net + freight:
In this case, maintain subtotal "4" against the freight condition in PO pricing procedure and
maintain the base calculation procedure as 362 against the BASB condition in tax procedure:

Case 3: Freight Relevant for VAT only, NOT for excise:

Sample calculation:
PB00: 100
FRA1: 10
ED : 12.36 (12.36 % on net value :100 * 12.36%)
VAT 5% on net value + Freight + ED ( that is freight has to calculate over 100+10+12.36 = 122.36 and the
value will be 122.36 * 5% = 6.12 )
In order to achieve the requirement, maintain the subtotal "6" against the freight condition in MM
pricing procedure and maintain the base calculation 363 against BASB and the VAT condition type in
tax procedure.

Our current setup is - the taxes are calculated for - PO line items + unplanned delivery cost (UPD) on MIRO
transaction and then UPD (excluding the taxes) is distributed to the PO line items on MIRO. This is working
fine.

Internationalization and Unicode: Tax Calculation on Freight - Different Scenarios

We have a scenario where product purchased on a PO is NON taxable and UPD is taxable, in
this scenario capturing the tax for UPD in the tax field in MIRO is not possible. We want to have

the ability to assign and calculate tax on UPD at a rate different than PO line items and continue
to distribute UPD (excluding the taxes) to the PO line items on MIRO. Can we automate/configure
this new scenario while keeping our current setup?
Please help. Thank you.
Regards,
Sindhu
Steps to reconstruct the new scenario
Invoice is for purchase order items that are not taxable, invoice has on it charges for unplanned freight. Freight
charges are taxable.
PO line item - $100
Freight - $50
tax on freight - 10% = $5
Total of the invoice - $155

Hi,
You may go with the new base formula 371 as explained in the note: 1835308 - Routine 371 to support
planned+unplanned delivery cost- MIRO

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I have checked the above note. Earlier there was no tax calculation on unplanned
delivery costs because the routine used was 362 even if above note was not implemented. To fulfil our case 3
requirement I have changed the routine to 363.
I believe the sudden tax calculation on unplanned delivery costs is due to change in routine. Please advice if
we can use routine 362 to achieve case 3 requirement and the steps for the same.

Hi Prasoon,
Thank you for this document. It is very helpful. Actually our requirement is of case 3 and I did exactly as you
suggested. The CST tax calculation is correct but during MIRO, the tax is getting calculated on unplanned
delivery cost which is entered in the header. When routine 362 is used for BASB condition, there is no tax on
unplanned delivery costs.

Could you please advice how to achieve case 3 requirement with routine 362 against BASB condition. We
don't want tax to be calculated on unplanned delivery costs during MIRO.

Hi
case 2 & case 3 works separately. We have vendor invoice for below both scenarios ?
Scenario 1:
PB00 : 100
FRA1 : 10
subtotal : 4
ED
: 12.36% on PB00 + FRA1
VAT : 5% on net PB00 + FRA1 + ED
Scenario 2:
PB00 : 100
DIS1
: -10
subtotal : 6
ED
: 12.36% on PB00
VAT
: 5% on net PB00 + DIS1 + ED
BASB (362) & JVRD (363) : Scenaria 2 is working but scenaria 1 is not working (ED is calcualted on PB00 +
FRA1 but vat 5% on net PB00 + ED and not considering FRA1)
please advice on combination of base type & subtotal to be maintained to address both the scenarios ?

If you want the freight to be considered for both VAT and ED, you can copy the freight value to BASB
condition as explained in case 2. Please maintain the config as per the case 2 option and test the scenario and
revert back.

Hi Atul,
Thanks for the feedback.
Your question is valid. Even I couldnt find any standard document explaining the full usage of standard
subtotals and routines

I explained the above options based on my experience only. Additionally, refer the note: 1559145 Frequently asked questions for Procurement in India: CIN - Purchase Order - Q Number 3, which gives a hint
about the above option.

Internationalization and Unicode: Tax Calculation on Freight - Different Scenarios

first of all thanks for sharing this very useful document. ( I have never seen any literature like this,educating
about 'subtotal or routine')
I wanted to know, from where we can get educated more about the various thing used in Pricing procedure..like
subtotal & routine.
Where to use which subtotal & respective routine to get the desired results? I like to learn the various effects
but i didn't find any documents even form SAP to understand these things.
Please guide if i can get the better learning material in depth in case.

Hi,
If you use subtotal 6, then you have to assign base calculation 363 against BASB and the JVRD.

May 12, 2014 12:27 PM
Hi AKPT
The subtotal against the MM condition is given as 6. The cost is getting loaded on the material , but only while
calculating VAT (JVRD) condition the amount is excluding the created condition type.

May 12, 2014 11:56 AM
Hi,
Did you assign the correct subtotal against the MM condition type in the MM pricing procedure. Please check
and revert back.
If you want to add the tax directly to material cost, maintain the account key NVV (or a copy of NVV in OBCN)
against the tax condition type in the tax procedure.

We have to introduce Green Goa Cess in MM as one of the condition type . Applied the above settings for
BASB and JVRD., but it is not working for me. The JVRD is zero if the base type 363 is selected , it only get
calculated if the same is changed to 370. But the JVRD calculated in this case i.e with 370 , takes only the
Base and ED/Manual ED .
The Green Goa Cess , should get loaded on material and will not be separately posted in a particular GL,
Can I get any hints , so the same can be made applicable.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
But in case 3, the base type 362 WONT work, since it will alter the BASB. 362 will work with KZWI4. You may
test the scenario.

AKPT

Apr 5, 2014 8:53 PM
Great document!
Just a query, can't we use 362 bas. typ. even for case 3? I think it fetches both KZWI4 and KZWI6 from KOMP.
