VAT Environment Setup

For the system to track and process VAT, you must first set up some basic information: VAT transaction types, VAT authorities, VAT codes and their associated VAT accounting templates, VAT countries, VAT entities, VAT use types, and VAT defaults. Each piece builds upon the next so, for the basic setup, you should implement each piece in the following order:

  1. VAT transaction types.

  2. VAT rates, VAT codes, and VAT accounting information.

  3. VAT countries.

  4. VAT entities.

  5. VAT use types.

  6. VAT apportionment if you have complex requirements for recovering input VAT.

  7. VAT defaults.

In addition to the information you must set up, PeopleSoft software delivers multiple accounting entry types for VAT accounting and reporting with every application. You cannot add your own.

Note:

You should use only one SetID for all your VAT setup. If VAT codes and transaction types are set up under multiple SetIDs, an invalid VAT code or transaction type could supply by default onto a transaction entered for a business unit that is using a different SetID for VAT.
