VAT in PeopleSoft Receivables
PeopleSoft Receivables enables you to record and report VAT information associated with items.
Important! Although PeopleSoft Receivables records and verifies VAT amounts, it does not derive the original tax amounts unless you enter items directly in PeopleSoft Receivables. Your billing system or manual billing process is responsible for calculating VAT.
The system calculates VAT based on the information that you enter during setup (for example, VAT codes, which determine the VAT rates that the system uses).
The system loads the VAT information on your transactions into the VAT transaction table and then into the VAT reporting tables, which you can use to create VAT returns and other VAT reports.
This section provides an overview of VAT and discusses:
VAT information and defaults.
VAT accounting entries.
VAT validation.
Transaction processing and reporting.
VAT transaction table.
VAT reports.
VAT Information and Defaults
As in all PeopleSoft Enterprise applications that process VAT transactions, you set up VAT defaulting in PeopleSoft Receivables in one common VAT defaults table using VAT drivers, which control the VAT settings at the various levels of the VAT defaulting hierarchy. You access the VAT Defaults Setup pages either from the application pages (for example, the customer General Information component (CUSTOMER_GENERAL) or the Receivables Options component (BUS_UNIT_OPT_AR1) for business units or by means of the VAT Defaults setup component (VAT_DEFAULT_SEARCH), in which case you specify the driver that you want to define.
The VAT drivers make up all of the levels of the defaulting hierarchy, and the common default records store the hierarchical default data in such a way as to make retrieval of the appropriate defaults efficient. For example, a VAT default specified for a customer address sequence is used before a default for a receivables business unit. Furthermore, within each VAT driver, defaults specified by country and state are more specific and come before defaults by country only, which in turn are more specific and come before defaults in which both the country and state are omitted.
If you need to establish default values for the additional VAT treatment determinants that are specific for services, you can do this using the Services VAT Treatment Defaults Setup component (VAT_DEF_SER_SEARCH). Like the VAT Defaults setup component, this component uses VAT drivers to supply the default values at various levels of the hierarchy. For any applicable driver, you can define the usual place of supply of the service, or the place where the VAT is liable, whether it is the supplier's location, customer's location, or the place where the service is actually performed, depending on the type of service. You can also specify whether the service is freight transport or other.
The following table lists the VAT drivers and associated VAT driver keys used by PeopleSoft Receivables in the VAT default hierarchy sequence from most specific to least specific for the VAT Defaults component. The table lists the drivers that control defaults for the services VAT treatment:

VAT Accounting Entries
The Receivable Update Application Engine process (ARUPDATE) creates both regular accounting entries and VAT accounting entries.
For general ledger purposes, the system bases the VAT entries on the accounting date. For tax reporting purposes, the system also records and uses the tax declaration date, which may be the same as the accounting date. The declaration date is set during pending item entry, either on the VAT Header page or in your billing interface.
Note. The system does not fully support VAT processing and multiple offset accounting lines when ChartField inheritance is in use. If you are processing items with VAT and multiple accounting lines (for example, multiple user-defined lines entered on accounting templates or by means of online pending item entry), and you have defined any ChartField inheritance options as Always Inherit, that ChartField may be out of balance due to the VAT amount. The amounts can be allocated across the accounting entries to make the entries balance. The ChartField may not balance in PeopleSoft General Ledger.
VAT ValidationHere is how the system validates VAT information:
It compares the totals of the entered VAT lines with the control totals on the pending item.
It compares the VAT transaction amount and the VAT amount to the total item amount for items entered in PeopleSoft Receivables.
If an item is interfaced from PeopleSoft Billing, PeopleSoft Billing calculates the amounts.
It validates and tracks the VAT registration IDs of some countries.
Note. The system automatically calculates the VAT amount if you enter pending items online.
You cannot post a pending item unless the first validation is successful. The sum of the transaction amounts for each VAT line must equal the control transaction amount, and the VAT amounts total must equal the control VAT amount. Also the VAT transaction amount and VAT amount for each item must equal the total amount of the item.
The system receives VAT information for external groups and edits both the entered and calculated totals for validity. If the calculated totals and the entered totals do not match, the system first checks the VAT tolerance percentage. If the difference exceeds the percentage, the system checks the tolerance amount. If both the percentage and the tolerance amount are exceeded, the system assigns the status Calc Error (calculation error). If the percentage is exceeded but the amount is not, the tolerance is met and the system assigns the item the status No Error. If you receive an error, you can review the VAT entries for the group and make corrections, as necessary.
Note. PeopleSoft Receivables allows a within-tolerance difference because the Receivable Update process, reporting, and journals are always based on the VAT amount shown on the invoice as sent to the customer.
You can enter a VAT Registration ID for an item online, receive an ID from an external billing system, enter an ID on the Identification page of the VAT Entity component, or enter an ID on the Customer VAT Info page of the General Information component as long as the country associated with the VAT Registration ID has been set up on the VAT Country Options page.
When you set up a VAT entity for a country, you must enter a VAT Registration ID. If you do not enter a Registration ID, the system displays a message informing you that this is a required field. Once you have entered a VAT Registration ID, the system validates whether the Registration ID is correct. If it is incorrect, the system displays another message, which instructs you to enter a correct ID.
You are not required to enter a VAT Registration ID for a country on the Customer VAT Info page. When you select the country on this page, a 2-character country code appears, as needed, next to the VAT Registration ID field. If you choose to enter a VAT Registration ID on this page for a country that has been set up on the VAT Country Options page, the system does not validate the VAT Registration ID that you enter for every country. The system will only validate the VAT Registration ID for the countries on this list:
Australia — AUS
Belgium — BEL
Canada — CAN
France — FRA
Germany — DEU
Ireland — IRL
Italy — ITA
Netherlands — NLD
New Zealand — NZL
Spain — ESP
United Kingdom — GBR
Note. Use the VAT Header page to review VAT information for external groups or to enter VAT information for internal groups that have not been posted.
Transaction Processing and Reporting
PeopleSoft Receivables has the following transaction processing and reporting capabilities:
Supports multiple VAT accounting entries per pending item.
Moves VAT liability from an intermediate VAT account to a final VAT account at payment time (when using a Payment declaration point).
Adjusts VAT liabilities at the time of payment for write-offs, discounts, drafts, direct debits, and bank receipts.
Adjusts VAT liabilities, as needed, for advance payments and on-account payments.
Rounds VAT amounts based on rules that you define.
You can apply different rounding rules for each VAT country and override the default rounding options for each VAT entity, customer, or transaction. The rounding options are:
Normal rounding (to the nearest unit).
For example, the system rounds down all values less than .49 and rounds up all values greater than or equal to .50.
Rounding up.
Rounding down.
The rounding options apply to VAT amounts in both the item VAT header and the individual VAT lines. The system adjusts any discrepancies between the VAT header amount and the total of the VAT lines in the larger of the two amounts.
The Payment Predictor process (ARPREDCT) calls the common VAT defaulting routines to update the VAT default values for prepayments and on-account items that it creates. If an error occurs, the process creates a payment worksheet so that you can correct the invalid information online.
VAT Transaction Table
You should run the VAT Transaction Loader Application Engine process (FS_VATUPDFS) periodically to update the VAT transaction table. Each time that the VAT Transaction Loader process runs, it picks up all VAT, regardless of the tax declaration date, that you have not already posted to the VAT transaction table. The system posts information to the VAT transaction table at a detail level to retain a complete history of VAT transactions.
VAT Reports
From the VAT transaction table, you can run the VAT Reporting SQR process (VAT1001) to copy VAT transaction information to the VAT reporting tables. For each VAT report instance, you can then use the PeopleSoft VAT reporting capabilities to view the status of your VAT liabilities and prepare your VAT returns.
Domestic Reverse Charge Goods VAT
In the United Kingdom, specified categories of goods being traded between businesses are subject to a VAT accounting provision called the domestic reverse charge, which is applicable above a certain sale amount. The reverse charge only applies to sales within the United Kingdom where specified goods are purchased by a VAT-registered business for business purposes – sales to non-business customers are unaffected by the change and normal VAT rules continue to apply. For additional information about VAT domestic reverse charges see the PeopleSoft Enterprise Global Options and Reports 9.1 PeopleBook.
To identify a transactions that includes a domestic reverse charge, PeopleSoft Receivables includes fields to record domestic reverse charges, including:
|
Domestic Reverse Charge Goods |
Select this check box if the country requires the use of the domestic reverse charge provision. |
|
Customer VAT Code |
Enter the customer VAT code used to calculate a domestic reverse charge VAT amount. When the Domestic Reverse Charge Goods check box has been selected, the regular VAT code is replaced by a zero-rate VAT code and the customer VAT code is used instead. |
|
Customer VAT Rate |
Displays the rate from the customer VAT code. |
|
Customer Amount |
Displays the customer VAT amount for domestic reverse charges that are calculated using the Customer VAT Code. |
|
Treatment |
For the sale of goods when the domestic reverse charge provision is required enter the value of Domestic Reverse Charge Sale in the Treatment field. |
The following pages and components within PeopleSoft Receivables contain fields to record domestic reverse charges:
The Receivables Options - VAT Defaults page defines the default values for VAT processing. Click the VAT Default link to access the VAT Defaults Setup page. This page includes the Domestic Reverse Charge field (enter a yes or no value to indicate the use of the domestic reverse charge provision) and the Domestic Reverse Charge Sales field to enter a VAT Transaction Type code for domestic reverse charges.
Pending Item components. Several domestic reverse charges fields are located within the Pending Items components on the VAT Summary Information page and the VAT Lines page.
The VAT Detail page located within the Payment Worksheet component.
The Item VAT Entries page within the View/Update Item Details component contains the Domestic Reverse Charge Goods check box, the Customer VAT Code field, the Customer VAT Rate field, and the Customer Amount field.
The VAT Detail page located within the Draft Worksheet component.
The Correct Posting Errors components for online items, external items, and payments.
PeopleSoft Billing Integration for VAT Processing
The PeopleSoft Billing interface to PeopleSoft Receivables consists of the Load AR Pending Items Application Engine process (BILDAR01) that inserts entries into PeopleSoft Receivables tables.
PeopleSoft Billing passes VAT account types to PeopleSoft Receivables as either VO for output or VOI for output intermediate. It passes VO when the VAT declaration point is set to invoice, delivery, or accounting date, and it passes VOI when the declaration point is set to payment. If PeopleSoft Billing sends transactions that originated in PeopleSoft Enterprise Asset Management as an asset reinstatement, the type is VORE.
In the Pending Distribution table (PENDING_DST) for VAT accounting entries, if the declaration point is invoice, delivery, or accounting date, the accounting entry line type in the SYSTEM_DEFINED field is set to V (VAT-Final). If the declaration point is payment, the SYSTEM_DEFINED field is set to W (VAT-Intermediate).

VAT Calculation Types and Declaration Points
This section discusses:
Gross or net calculation type.
Invoice, delivery, accounting date, or payment declaration point.
Calculation type with declaration point combinations.
Gross or Net Calculation TypeThe calculation type that you select determines the basis for calculating the VAT amount. You can select either gross or net as the calculation type. For example, assume that you have a sales amount of 100.00 EUR with early payment terms of 2 percent discount and a VAT rate of 8 percent. In this case, you would enter a VAT transaction amount of 100.00 EUR.
For a calculation type of gross, the system calculates a VAT basis of 100.00 EUR. The VAT amount would be 8.00 EUR and the total amount would be 108.00 EUR.
For a calculation type of net, when the customer has the opportunity to pay early and take a discount, the system calculates a VAT basis of 98.00 EUR. The VAT amount would be 7.84 EUR and the total amount would be 107.84 EUR.
Invoice, Delivery, Accounting Date, or Payment Declaration PointDeclaration point refers to when you report VAT to the tax authorities—at the accounting date, at invoice time, at delivery, or at the time of payment.
PeopleSoft Receivables maintains two amount fields for recording the two stages of VAT liabilities—an intermediate amount and a final amount. The Intermediate VAT field tracks VAT amounts that are owed by various customers but are not yet ready to be reported to the tax authorities. The Final VAT field contains all VAT that is ready to be reported to the tax authorities by placing it in the VAT transaction table.
For a declaration point of accounting date, invoice, or delivery, the system creates entries to final VAT during pending item entry. For a declaration point of Payment, the system creates entries to intermediate VAT during pending item entry. The default value for the declaration point comes from either the setting for the customer location, customer, and business unit, or the VAT entity. These settings are defined using the VAT Defaults component. The setting for the customer location overrides the setting for the customer; the setting for the customer overrides the setting for the business unit; and the setting for the business unit overrides the setting for the VAT entity.
The system stores pending information in the Pending VAT table (PS_PENDING_VAT). The system stores VAT information for each item in PeopleSoft Receivables on the Item VAT Activity table (PS_ITEM_ACT_VAT). Separate VAT accounting entries are created for each item activity. On each item activity VAT line, the amount is identified as either intermediate VAT or final VAT. When you run the VAT Transaction Loader, it looks for both intermediate and final VAT amounts that have not yet been recorded on the VAT transaction table.
The default declaration date is based on the declaration point, which determines when you must report VAT to the government. The system uses the accounting date, delivery, or invoice date as the default declaration date. For an Accounting Date declaration point, the user cannot override the declaration date during item entry.
For a Payment declaration point, the system handles partial payments in the same manner, regardless of recalculation. The percentage of VAT that the system moves from intermediate status to final status equals the percentage of the item being paid. For example, if the system receives a payment for 50 percent of an item's balance, it moves 50 percent of the VAT amount from intermediate to final.
Calculation Type and Declaration Point CombinationsThis table lists the calculation and declaration point combinations that PeopleSoft Receivables supports. Recalculation occurs only when a discount is available:

Combination 1: Calculation Type Gross and Payment Declaration Point Without Recalculation
When you post the pending item that creates the receivable, the system creates accounting entries. These accounting entries record the VAT liability on the gross amount of the item in the ChartField combination that you designated for output intermediate VAT on the VAT Code - Accounting Information page. At payment time, the system creates accounting entries that:
Offset the intermediate VAT liability.
Create the final VAT liability.
The system makes no adjustments to the amount of the liability—the status simply changes from intermediate to final.
Combination 2: Calculation Type Gross and Payment Declaration Point with Recalculation
This scenario is almost the same as the gross calculation type with a payment declaration point without recalculation. In this scenario, however, the system creates a PENDING_VAT record to adjust the VAT liability if you take a discount.
Combination 3: Calculation Type Gross and Accounting Date, Invoice, or Delivery Declaration Point Without Recalculation
If you declare VAT at accounting date, invoice, or delivery, PeopleSoft Receivables places the VAT amounts directly into the Final VAT field. The VAT accounting entries that you provide (or that the system creates) record the VAT liability based on the gross item amount in the ChartField combination that you designated for output use on the VAT Code - Accounting Information page. Subsequent processing does not create any VAT accounting entries.
Combination 4: Calculation Type Gross and Accounting Date, Invoice, or Delivery Declaration Point with Recalculation
This scenario is nearly the same as the preceding one, but the system creates a PENDING_VAT record to adjust the VAT liability if you take a discount.
Combination 5: Calculation Type Net and Payment Declaration Point Without Recalculation
When you post the pending item that creates the receivable, the system creates accounting entries that record the VAT liability on the net amount of the item in the ChartField combination that you designated for output intermediate VAT on the VAT Code - Accounting Information page. At payment time, the system creates accounting entries that:
Offset the intermediate VAT liability.
Create the final VAT liability.
No adjustments are made to the amount of the liability—the status simply changes from intermediate to final.
Combination 6: Calculation Type Net and Accounting Date, Invoice, or Delivery Declaration Point Without Recalculation
If you choose to declare VAT at accounting date, invoice time, or delivery, PeopleSoft Receivables places the VAT amounts directly into the Final VAT field. The VAT accounting entries that you provide (or that the system creates) record the VAT liability based on the net item amount in the ChartField combination that you designate for output on the VAT Code - Accounting Information page. Subsequent processing does not create any VAT accounting entries.
VAT Calculations for Advance Payments and On-Account Payments
The system calculates VAT for advance payments and on-account payments and creates accounting entries if you enabled VAT for advance payments on the VAT Defaults Setup page for the VAT Entity Registration driver.
You can override the default as needed for each VAT entity and declaration point combination on the VAT Header page when you apply payments.
If the Receivable Update process generates VAT output entries for an advance payment, it performs the following tasks:
Records the final output VAT.
Reverses the VAT entries for the advance payment when you apply the advance payment to an item.
If the advance payment is recorded in a foreign currency, the system does not revalue the VAT amount when you apply an item to the payment. When you enter the item, the system converts the remaining VAT amount to the base currency of the item's business unit using the exchange rate for the item.
The system also calculates the correct VAT amount and creates the correct accounting entries when you apply a discount to an advance payment. You must apply the discount when you apply the payment to the item.
This section provides the following examples, which demonstrate different VAT scenarios for creating accounting transactions for advance payments:
VAT declaration point set to Payment, prepayment applied on payment worksheet.
VAT declaration point set to Payment, prepayment offset on maintenance worksheet.
VAT declaration point set to Payment, prepayment applied on direct debit worksheet.
VAT declaration point set to Payment with VAT rate changes.
VAT declaration point set to Accounting Date.
VAT declaration point set to Invoice.
VAT declaration point set to Delivery.
Note. The Payment Predictor process (ARPREDCT) processes VAT for prepayments and on-account payments in the same manner as the payment worksheet.
VAT Declaration Point Set to Payment, Prepayment Applied on Payment
WorksheetThis example applies when the VAT declaration point is set to payment, the final payment is applied on the payment worksheet, and VAT transactions must be generated. The example has the following conditions:
An advance payment of 1,196.00 EUR is received, and the standard VAT rate is 19.6 percent.
An invoice with the total 3,588.00 EUR, including 19.6 percent VAT, is sent to the customer.
The prepayment is cleared against the invoice on the payment worksheet.
The final payment of 2,392.00 EUR is received and applied on the payment worksheet.

VAT Declaration Point Set to Payment with VAT Rate ChangesVAT rate changes—between the time that the advance payment is created and the time that the item is created—require additional activities and cause the accounting entries to differ. The accounting entries differ depending on whether the advance payment is less than or greater than the item.
Advance Payment Is Less Than the Item
This example applies when the VAT declaration point is set to payment, and the advance payment is less than the item. The example has the following conditions:
An advance payment of 1,196.00 EUR is received, and the standard VAT rate is 19.6 percent.
A 1200.00 EUR invoice with a 9.09 percent VAT rate is sent to the customer, and an item is created in PeopleSoft Receivables.
The prepayment is cleared against the invoice on the payment worksheet.
The final payment of 4.00 EUR is received and applied on the payment worksheet.

VAT Adjustment for Advance Payments and On-Account Payments
This section discusses how to:
Apply VAT adjustment for prepayments.
Record the transfer of prepayments between business units.
Applying VAT Adjustment for PrepaymentsThis section provides an overview of applying a VAT adjustment on a prepayment (an advanced payment or on-account payment). For French business transactions, the VAT amount of a sale should be included in the accounts receivable pre-paid account. For most VAT countries the VAT portion of the prepayment is not included in the pre-paid account.
To enable the VAT adjustment for advanced payments and on-account payments:
Enabled VAT for advance payments on the VAT Defaults Setup page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Common Definitions, VAT and Intrastat, Value Added Tax, VAT Defaults) for the VAT Entity Registration driver.
For each business unit using VAT adjustment (for example, French business units), select the VAT Adjustment on Advance Pymt check box on the Receivables Definition- Accounting Options 2 page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Business Unit Related, Receivables, Receivables Definitions, Accounting Options 2). This check box enables the system to include the VAT amount of a prepayment in the Accounts Receivable Pre-Paid account.
Enter an account for the new VAT accounting entry type, Output Advance with Adjustment, using the VAT Code- Accounting Information page (Set Up Financials/Supply Chain, Common Definitions, VAT and Intrastat, Value Added Tax, VAT Code, Value Added Tax Code, Accounting Information). This VAT adjustment account is used when recording an advanced payments within a business unit. To balance the prepayment transaction, a new accounting entry is made using this VAT adjustment account. When the prepayment is applied against an invoice or written off, the amount in the VAT adjustment account (and the accounts receivable pre-paid account) are reversed accordingly.
If the Receivable Update process generates VAT output entries for an advance payment, it performs the following tasks:
Records the final output VAT.
Reverses the VAT entries for the advance payment when you apply the advance payment to an item.
Reverses the VAT adjustment entries for the VAT portion of the advance payment when you apply the advance payment to an item.
If the advance payment is recorded in a foreign currency, the system does not revalue the VAT amount when you apply an item to the payment. When you enter the item, the system converts the remaining VAT amount to the base currency of the item's business unit using the exchange rate for the item.
The system also calculates the correct VAT amount and creates the correct accounting entries when you apply a discount to an advance payment. You must apply the discount when you apply the payment to the item.
This section provides the following examples, which demonstrate different VAT scenarios for creating accounting transactions for advance payments:
VAT adjustment for prepayment applied on a payment worksheet.
VAT adjustment on a maintenance worksheet with invoice declaration point set to delivery or invoice.
VAT adjustment on a maintenance worksheet with invoice declaration point set to payment.
Note. The Payment Predictor process (ARPREDCT) processes VAT for prepayments and on-account payments in the same manner as the payment worksheet.
VAT Adjustment for Prepayment Applied on a Payment Worksheet
These are the expected accounting entries when using a payment worksheet to match an open invoice to a prepayment with a VAT adjustment. To make it simpler, the prepayment has the same amount as the invoice. In this example the declaration point can be any option (delivery, invoice, or payment).
The example has the following conditions:
For this business unit, the VAT Adjustment on Advance Pymt check box on the Receivables Definition- Accounting Options 2 page has been selected.
An account has been entered for the Output Advance with Adjustment VAT accounting entry type, using the VAT Code- Accounting Information page.
An advance payment of 1,196.00 EUR is received. Merchandise totalling 1,000.00 EUR has a standard VAT rate is 19.6 percent (1,000.00 x 19.6 percent = 196.00).
An invoice with the total 1,196.00 EUR, including 19.6 percent VAT, is sent to the customer.
The prepayment is cleared against the invoice on the payment worksheet.
The final payment of 1,196.00 EUR is received and applied on the payment worksheet.

VAT Adjustment on a Maintenance Worksheet With Invoice Declaration Point Set to Delivery or Invoice
These are the expected accounting entries when using a maintenance worksheet to match an open invoice to a prepayment with a VAT adjustment. To make it simpler, the prepayment has the same amount as the invoice. In this example the prepayment can have any declaration point (delivery, invoice or payment) and the invoice has a declaration point of delivery or invoice (but not payment).
The example has the following conditions:
For this business unit, the VAT Adjustment on Advance Pymt check box on the Receivables Definition- Accounting Options 2 page has been selected.
An account has been entered for the Output Advance with Adjustment VAT accounting entry type, using the VAT Code- Accounting Information page.
An advance payment of 1,196.00 EUR is received. Merchandise totalling 1,000.00 EUR has a standard VAT rate is 19.6 percent (1,000.00 x 19.6 percent = 196.00).
An invoice with the total 1,196.00 EUR, including 19.6 percent VAT, is sent to the customer.
The prepayment is offset against the invoice on the maintenance worksheet.

Recording the Transfer of Prepayments Between Business UnitsThis section provides an overview of transferring a prepayment (an advanced payment or on-account payment) between business units. This transfer can involve business units with VAT adjustments for prepayments or business units without the VAT adjustment. In addition, this transfer can be completed as an interunit transfer or without interunit processing.
When a prepayment is transferred between business units, the prepayment is completely reversed in the sending business unit and the prepayment is created in the receiving business unit as if it had been originally entered in the receiving business unit. For instance, if we are transferring from a business unit with a VAT adjustment to a business unit without a VAT adjustment, then:
The accounting entry in the sending business unit reverses the original accounting entry for the item including the VAT amount in the Output Advance with Adjustment (VAT to Adjust) account. In this accounting entry, the Accounts Receivable account is the same amount as the prepayment (merchandise amount plus VAT amount).
The accounting entry in the receiving business unit does not use the Output Advance with Adjustment (VAT to Adjust) account and the Accounts Receivable account does not include the VAT amount.
In the examples below we have all the combinations of business units with VAT adjustments and without VAT adjustments, and also interunit transfer and non-interunit transfer scenarios.
These examples have the following conditions:
An advance payment of 1,196.00 EUR is received. Merchandise totalling 1,000.00 EUR has a standard VAT rate is 19.6 percent (1,000.00 x 19.6 percent = 196.00).
The examples display the accounting entries recorded after the Receivables Update process has been run.

VAT Calculations for Drafts and Direct Debits
For drafts and direct debits, the system calculates and records VAT information at payment time. For draft payments, the Receivable Update process generates accounting entries at the due date or discount date (depending on the selected system function). For direct debits, it generates the accounting entries at the due date, remittance date, or after bank reconciliation, depending on the cash clearing method.
If the associated item has a declaration point of payment, the following entries are generated:

VAT Calculations for Discounts
For discounts, the system uses the VAT calculation method at payment time to determine VAT adjustments.
You can apply prompt payment discounts if the advance payment is applied to the invoice before the discount due date, or if the final payment is received (and applied to the invoice) before the discount due date.
If you select VAT Discountable Amount for the basis amount for a payment term, the system calculates the discount amount on the net amount of the item after VAT. Otherwise, it calculates it on the gross amount.
Note. This scenario applies only to certain countries. For example, it is valid for Germany but not for France.
This section offers the following examples of discounts:

Prerequisite Setup for VAT Processing
Before you can process transactions using VAT in PeopleSoft Receivables, you must perform these steps:
Set up your VAT processing rules and defaults.
Use the Business Unit Definition page to define a location code and to associate the receivables business units with the general ledger (GL) business units that are linked to a VAT entity.
You establish the GL business unit and VAT entity relationship on the VAT Entity - Identification page.
On the Receivables Options - VAT Defaults page, click the VAT Defaults link to define the tolerances for groups and other VAT defaults.
These tolerances and other defaults can also be set directly using the VAT Defaults component for the receivables business unit options driver.
From the customer General Information component, click the VAT Defaults link to define VAT processing information for pending items for each customer.
These settings can also be set directly using the VAT Defaults component for the customer driver.

Entering Customer VAT Information
(IND) Excise Duty, Sales Tax, and VAT Processing for India
You can enter and calculate excise duty, sales taxes, and VAT on the Group Entry Tax page only if you are entering items directly in PeopleSoft Receivables or for transactions interfaced from a billing system for which you create accounting entries in PeopleSoft Receivables. You can calculate tax for excise duty only, sales tax only, both, or VAT. If you interface items from billing and your billing system generates the accounting entries, you cannot recalculate the tax. Instead, run the Receivable Update process to update the customer balances.
When you run the Receivable Update process, the system updates the tax information to populate the excise duty, sales tax, and VAT tables: Item Tax Activity (PS_ITEM_ACTTAX) and Item Tax Activity Detail (PS_ITEM_ACTTAX_DTL). The process also creates the following accounting entries if you entered the items in PeopleSoft Receivables or if your billing system does not generate the accounting entries:
|
Account |
Debit |
Credit |
|
Accounts Receivable |
100.00 |
|
|
User-defined (Revenue) |
|
90.00 |
|
Excise Duty Receivable |
|
7.00 |
|
Sales Tax/VAT Liability |
|
3.00 |
The customer and business unit for a transaction determine how to populate information on the tax transaction lines, such as the ship from country and state and the appropriate tax codes. If you enter an item directly in PeopleSoft Receivables, the system uses the default values for the receivables business unit. If you interface an item from billing, the system uses the following business units:
If an order management business unit has been specified, the system uses the order management business unit.
If no order management business unit has been specified, but a billing business unit has been specified, the system uses the billing business unit.
If neither an order management business unit or a billing business unit have been specified, the system uses the receivables business unit.
If you change the default values in the tax transaction lines, you must run the tax determination routine again before you calculate the tax.
After you enter the amounts in the tax transaction lines and the control totals, you run the tax calculation routine to calculate the tax amounts. The system populates the Pending Tax (PS_PENDING_TAX) and Pending Tax Detail (PS_PENDING_TAX_DTL) tables.
(IND) Prerequisite Setup for Excise Duty, Sales Tax, and VAT Processing
