Understanding Third-Party Vouchers

You must create vouchers for customs duty by copying from the PO. This ensures that the percentage of recoverable and nonrecoverable custom duty populates to VCHR_LN_EXS_DTL. If the actual amounts differ from those on the BOE, override them on the voucher. After you send payment to the government and create the receiver, reopen the voucher and associate the receiver. Otherwise, the Landed Cost Extraction process does not allocate the customs duty.

Note:

Customs duty charges are nonprorated.

To create third-party vouchers for customs duty:

1. Create a third-party voucher by selecting Third Party Voucher in the Voucher Style field in the Voucher component (VCHR_EXPRESS).

2. Click the Copy PO button in the Copy from a Source Document group box on the Invoice Information page to copy from the PO to create the third-party voucher.

   This copies the customs duty charges from the PO. The duty amounts appear by default on the Invoice Line Custom Duty Detail page. If you change amounts in the Tax Amount field and tab out, the system recalculates the amounts in the custom duty Recovery Amount and custom duty Non Recovery Amount fields.

   Note:

   Amount fields are not populated from the PO if the transaction currency of the PO is different than the third-party voucher currency.

   For example, if the PO transaction currency is USD (for import purchase orders supplier is normally outside of India) and the third-party voucher transaction currency is INR (for the Indian customs authority), the PO copy function does not populate required fields. In order to copy required fields from the PO, change the transaction currency of the third-party voucher to be in sync with the transaction currency of the PO (USD). After changing the transaction currency on the voucher header, copy from the PO to create the third-party voucher. Specify the correct payment currency at the time of payment (INR).

3. Issue the payment and send it along with the BOE to the appropriate government agency.

4. When the government receives your payment and releases your goods, create the receiver and manually associate the receiver to the third-party voucher.

   Manually associating the receiver enables the Landed Cost Extraction process to properly allocate the nonmerchandise costs.

   Note:

   The Associate Receiver(s) link on the third-party voucher is only available to custom duty vouchers. This link is not available until the PO copy function is performed. You can then associate receivers to the third-party voucher. The Associate Receiver(s) link is available if the third-party voucher is not posted or posted.
