Process Flow

You must follow these steps to generate the journal entries associated with the VAT difference amounts:

1. Enter a voucher using the Standard Voucher Entry program. The system updates the Accounts Payable Ledger table (F0411) with the voucher information.

2. For domestic vouchers in a foreign currency, enter the supplier exchange rate, the supplier VAT amount, and the taxable amount of the voucher using the Supplier Amounts for Foreign Vouchers program. The system updates the Foreign Voucher Supplier Amounts table (F74H410) with supplier amounts by document number and tax area. If the voucher exists in the JE VAT Differences table (F74H910), the system checks if the document is a voucher that was already processed.

   Before you post a voucher, you can run the Foreign Voucher VAT Differences program to print VAT amount differences without generating the journal entry line.

3. Post the voucher using the General Ledger Post program (R09801).

4. For posted vouchers, execute the Foreign Voucher VAT Differences program to print VAT differences and automatically generate journal entries. The system generates journal entries in the Account Ledger table (F0911). After calculating the VAT amount differences, the system stores the reclassified journal entries in the F74H910 table. After you generate journal entries, you cannot process and change the documents associated with these journal entries again.
