VAT Accrual when Sales Recognition is Postponed

To generate the required journal entries for sales transactions for which sales recognition is postponed, you must run the VAT Accrual on Sales program after running the Invoice Print program. The VAT Accrual on Sales program writes journal entries for the VAT amount to the Transit VAT and VAT Payable accounts as shown in this table:

Account

Debit Amount

Credit Amount

Transit VAT

200

VAT Payable

-200

The credit account to which the system writes is determined by the tax rate area of the sales order line. The account that the system debits is determined by the account set up in the Transit VAT Account Setup program.

When the sale is recognized, you run the Sales Update and General Ledger Post programs to create the required journal entries. The Sales Update and General Ledger Post programs include Russian localizations that create the appropriate journal entries.

This table shows an example of the entries created:
