AAIs

Use the program Automatic Accounting Instructions program (P0012) to set up the AAIs that specify whether the system holds the VAT payable in an interim account until the payment is made. To update the tax amount when posting vouchers to a interim VAT account, you must set up the PTxxxx AAI. The interim VAT account holds the tax amount until a payment is applied and posted. To reclassify the tax amount from the interim VAT account to the VAT account when the payments are posted, you must set up the PIxxxx AAI. The suffix xxxx indicates the GL offset code that is defined on the corresponding tax rate areas. Blank is a valid GL offset code. Also, use the Review and Revise Accounts program (P0901) to verify that the posting edit code of the accounts that are used is blank to allow all posting.

In the following AAI example, SOSP is the GL offset used in the tax area setup. Review the setup for the PTxxxx AAI:

• Item Number: PTSOSP

• System:04

• Company:00070

• Business Unit:70

• Object Account:4120

• Account Use Description: Interim Account/ Suspended Account

Review the setup for the PIxxxx AAI:

• Item Number: PISOSP

• System:04

• Company:00070

• Business Unit:70

• Object Account:1210
