Understanding SPOT Vouchers

You generate SPOT vouchers when a supplier is subject to the payment of a duty tax. SPOT vouchers differ from the regular vouchers that you generate because you make a payment to the National Bank for the tax due at the same time that you pay the supplier. The National Bank sends you deposit information about the payment, which you track in the Spot Data Entry (P76P480) program.

When a supplier's invoice is subject to the duty tax, you enter a voucher for the invoice by using the standard Voucher Entry (P0411) program. When the Localization County Code is set to PE (Peru), the system automatically displays the Voucher Additional Information - Revision form on which you enter the SPOT concept. The value that you enter determines how the system calculates the tax due. You set up SPOT concepts in the Spot Maintenance Percentage (P76P410) program.

The system generates two lines in the accounts for suppliers when it generates SPOT vouchers. The line with the positive amount is paid to the National Bank. The line with the negative amount is paid along with the original voucher. The system stores the relationship between the original voucher and the SPOT vouchers in the SPOT Voucher Information (F76P480) table.

SPOT vouchers cannot be modified; they can only be voided. If a SPOT voucher is paid, you cannot void it. If you need to modify an original voucher, you must first void any SPOT vouchers associated with it.
