How to edit the TDS Vendor Type Information on Vendor Additional Information Setup?

The TDS Threshold Set ups are defined for a combination of Section Code and Vendor Type.

The TDS Vendor type assigned to a Vendor determines the Threshold Set up under which the TDS needs to be deducted for the Vendor.

So once a TDS Vendor type is attached the same cannot be modified as this would lead to data corruption.

India Localization TDS Invoice got generated even after removing TDS Tax ID from Invoice Distribution Descriptive Flexfield.

If the 'Default Section Code' and /or 'Tax Name' is attached at the Vendor Additional Information Set Up, the TDS Invoices will get generated based on the Threshold setups applicable to the Vendor. System checks for the Threshold amount of the Vendor and compare it with the Threshold Slabs applicable to the Vendor. If the Threshold is breached, TDS Invoices will get generated. The defaulted TDS Tax Id cannot be removed in such a scenario. The above is an intended product behavior.

How to handle the Excise requirements for an Item in Trading Organization on the receiving side?

Items that are being used in a Trading Organization shall have specific Excise requirements. In order to meet these requirements, the Item shall be defined with the following flags in the India Items DFF.

Excise Flag – ‘YES’

Modvat Flag – 'NO'

Trading Flag – ‘YES’

In case of Trading Organization, system will not check for the Receipt DFF Flag "Claim Cenvat on receipt".

While creation of Receipt in a Trading organization, RG 23 D Register will get updated only if the following conditions are satisfied.

1. Excise Flag in the Items DFF is set 'YES' .

2. Excise Invoice Number and Excise Invoice date is provided on the Receipt DFF.

In case of Trading organization, system will not check for the Receipt DFF flag "Claim Cenvat on receipt". CENVAT /MODVAT is applicable only to Manufacturing Organization where production and removal of goods by paying Excise takes place. Trading is governed under RG23D Rules (Where Warehouse is marked as Trading and can only pass on the CENVAT on receipts on to Sales by matching receipts). As there is no payment of Duty on removal of goods in a trading organization, the question of claiming CENVAT does not arise.

Further, to clarify as Cenvat /Modvat is not applicable in case of Trading organization, the receipts of Trading Organization will also not be available on the form "Claim Modvat on Receipts - India" as the question of deferring cenvat does not arise in case of trading organization.
