Discounts and Write-Offs

Discounts (AP and AR) and Write-offs (AR) proportionally decrease the amount of the suspense VAT during the post of the receipt or payment.

To calculate discounts and write-offs correctly, you must complete this setup:

  • Select these options in the Tax Rules program (P0022) for both the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable systems:

    • Tax on Gross including Discount.

    • Discount on Gross Including Tax.

  • Set the processing options on the Taxes tab for the General Ledger Post Report program (R09801) as:

    • Update Tax File = 3 (for all Tax Explanation Codes).

    • Adjust V.A.T. Account for Discount Taken = 2 (Update VAT, Ext. Price and Taxable).

  • Adjust V.A.T. Account for Receipt Adjustments and Write Offs = 2 (Update VAT, Ext. Price and Taxable).
