Understanding the Invoice Print Process for China

In China, special VAT (value-added tax) invoices are prepared by using a Government Uniform Invoice (GUI). The GUI format includes a legal invoice number that is supplied and required by the government. The Golden Tax software system provides a preprinted format and handles all of the associated printing issues. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne solution creates a predefined Golden Tax interface file. The Golden Tax system then reads and writes the data in the GUI format to preprinted and prenumbered invoices.

Use the standard invoice print program to print invoices for review and to create a flat file that you can submit to the Golden Tax software system. When you run the Print Invoices program (R42565), the system also runs the Create GUI flat file from SO invoice work file - China program (R75C422), which populates the Text Processor Header table (F007101) and the Text Processor Detail table (F007111). You must use the Text File Processor program (P00701) to copy information from these tables to a file that you can submit to the Golden Tax system.

The Print Invoices program also produces a paper report that you can use to review the invoices before you submit them to the Golden Tax system.

Note: You can print invoices for VAT from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable system, from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system, or both.

After you set up the item master, the item branch/plant, or both, you need to complete the processing option Item Category Code Name field for the Chinese GUI Interface file from Sales Order-Set Up - China program. You must use the same value for the category code that you chose for the item master and item branch/plant.
