India Local Order Management

This chapter covers the following topics:

Sales Order India Localized

You can create a Sales Order by navigating through the India Local Sales Order window. This enables defaulting and calculation of Localization Taxes. The defaulting is based on the three-way defaulting logic followed for India Localization i.e., based on Customer, Customer Site or Item Class. Alternatively, you can create a Sales Order from Internal Requisitions, using Import Orders feature. The localization taxes will flow to Fulfilled Orders India Localization. For the Deliveries created from India Local Sales Orders, taxes will flow to the same.

The Localization Tax information flows into Shipping Localized screen on completion of the packing, shipping and Inventory and Order Management Interface. This information flows to AR Transactions created based on such deliveries. The same information flows to Transactions after running the Auto Invoice program.

The Sales Order India Localized functionality caters to your tax calculation needs required for a Sales Order Transaction. You can:

Major Features of Sales Order India Localized

Defaulting Taxes to India Local Sales Orders

You can use Localization taxes while creating a Sales Order in the Order Management. These taxes can be defaulted based on the Tax Defaulting Rules. The automatic Tax Defaulting is based on Item Category assigned to the Customer, Customer Site or based on the Item Class assigned to the Tax Category.

Tax Base Amount

You can define precedence logic to calculate Tax Base Amount on which the Tax Rate is applied. The Tax Base Amount can either be the line amount or line amount including other taxes calculated for the transaction.

Important: No precedence logic and tax rates are available for adhoc taxes.

Defaulting Assessable Value to India Local Sales Orders

You can use an Assessable Value that is different from the Sales Price while creating a Sales Order in the Order Management. This Assessable Price can be defaulted based on the Tax Defaulting Rules. The automatic defaulting is based on Price List assigned to the Customer, Customer Site or null Site.

Important: The Assessable Value is a display only field and cannot be edited by user on Sales Order. It is only controlled through Price List setups and Price List attachments.

Manual Changes to Defaulted Taxes to India Local Sales Orders

The Taxes defaulted can be changed manually, if required.

Record Excise Exemptions

You can choose the Exemption Type applicable to the Sales Order by selecting the Excise Exempted check box provided at the line level. This changes the Excise Value of that line to zero.

Record VAT Exemptions

You can choose the VAT Exemption Type applicable to the Sales Order. To do this, you need to select VAT Exemption Type, Date and Ref No at Header. This gets defaulted on all lines and changes the VAT value of all lines to zero.

If you require partial VAT Exemption viz., on some lines only, you need to deselect the VAT Exemption flag. You can also have a different type of VAT Exemption at line level.

CENVAT Recovery against Excise Exemptions

You can set up CENVAT Recovery % in the Organization Additional Information Screen in CENVAT Recovery % field using India Local Inventory Responsibility which will ensure CENVAT Recovery under Rule 6 of The CENVAT Credit Rules 2002 for the above Excise Exempted Transactions.

Splitting of Sales Order Lines

Any Splitting lines in the base Sales Order also split lines in India Local Sales Order. The Tax lines are then recalculated based on the revised line quantity.

Changes in Sales Order Lines

Changes made to Quantity in Base Sales Orders are automatically reflected in the Sales Order India Localization. Lines deleted from base order also get deleted from India Local Sales Order.

Cancellation in Sales Order Lines

A line cancelled in the base Sales Order changes the Quantity in Localization screen to zero.

Copying of Sales Orders

A Sales Order created by navigating through India Local Sales Order screen can be copied using the Copy Order feature. This will result in taxes flowing to Localization for the copied Order. While coping Order, if there is any change in the Assessable Price with respect to source Order line, then it results in recalculation of the taxes.

Important: Copy Sales Order feature can be used to create a RMA Order. An RMA Order taxes is based on shipping taxes and hence to avoid data inconsistency issues in localization tables, Copying of Sales Order is not possible unless such Order is already shipped & data is available in Localization shipping tables.

Localization does not currently allow copy of RMA Order to standard Order or existing RMA Order to new RMA Order.

Assessable Price Recalculation

Excise duties attached to the Order lines can be recalculated whenever there are changes in assessable price of items. This is helpful at the time of Budget/changes in Excise statutes. For further details refer Assessable price recalculation provided under reports.

Line Level Query in India Local Sales Order

You can now query for lines in Sales Orders India Localization screen once the Sales Order is queried. This feature would be helpful to find the lines in case where the item name is above 25 characters long or Sales Order has large number of lines.

Auto Query of India Local Sales Order

Clicking the Open Button on the India Local Sales Order displays the Base Sales Order Form to create an Order.

When you fill the base Sales Order form and save it, the details of the transaction are auto queried and displayed in the India Local Sales Order form. To view the details, navigate to the India Local Sales Order form. You can also query an existing Order in the Localized Sales Order form.

If you navigated away to multiple forms, Auto query does not work and you must click refresh to view the localization screen with requisite details.

Major Features of Sales Order Returns India Localized

Defaulting Taxes to India Local RMA Orders

You have an option to use Localization taxes while creating a return sale Order in the Order Management. These taxes can either be defaulted based on the Tax Defaulting Rules or can be attached manually. The automatic tax defaulting would be based Item Category assigned to the Customer, Customer Site or based on the Item Class assigned to the Tax Category. This is only applicable for the RMA Order created without reference and the reference is filled as ‘Legacy’. For a RMA Order created with reference taxes are defaulted based on the original delivery and cannot be changed.

Auto picking of Delivery Detail ID in India Local RMA Orders

Whenever a RMA Sales Order is created with reference, Localization taxes would be based on the shipment taxes and hence required entry of Delivery Detail ID. There is no need to search this delivery detail id, which would make the process tedious. On navigating to Localization Screen, the same gets automatically populated if the Sales Order reference is given.

Returns without Excise

Whenever a return takes place beyond the stipulated period by Excise Authorities, you are prevented from claiming CENVAT benefit on the returned goods viz., when returns are made beyond 180 days. Under such circumstances, many a times, it is necessary that the Credit Memo that is raised for such return be raised for the base amount without passing on the benefit of Excise Duty. For such kind of transactions, the days within which if return is made, the Excise to be allowed has to be mentioned in the Organization Additional Information in Excise Return Days field. This ensures that when any RMA is made beyond such stipulated period, the Credit Memo raised will be net of Excise.

RMA without Sales Tax

Whenever a return takes place beyond the stipulated period by Sales Tax Authorities, you are prevented from claiming the same in your Sales Tax Returns. Under such circumstances, many a times, it is necessary that the Credit Memo that is raised for such return be raised for the base amount without passing on the benefit of Sales Tax. For such kind of transactions, the days within which if RMA is made, the Sales Tax to be allowed has to be mentioned in the Organization Additional Information Sales Tax Return Days field. This ensures that when any RMA is made beyond such stipulated period, the Credit Memo raised will be net of Sales Tax.

AR3A Form Receipt Tracking
