How Split Transaction Lines Work

Sometimes, the transaction amount exceeds the maximum amount defined in VAT-related system options.

In these cases, use the Split transaction line option and the Allow unit price that exceeds VAT invoice amount limit option to determine how to split receivables transaction lines into Golden Tax transactions (child VAT invoices).

The Split transaction line option works in this way:

  • Enabled: The receivables transaction line is split into two Golden Tax transactions.

  • Not Enabled: The receivables transaction line is moved to the next Golden Tax transaction.

This example shows a receivables invoice with a total amount of 13000 CNY and two lines:

Line Number

Line Amount (CNY)

1

6000

2

7000

The applicable Maximum Invoice Amount setting is 10000 CNY.

Split Transaction Line Option Enabled

If the Split transaction line option is enabled, then the receivables transaction is split as shown in these tables:

Line Number

Line Amount (CNY)

1

6000

2

4000

Line Number

Line Amount (CNY)

1

3000

The first transaction is assigned the maximum amount of 10000 CNY. Because the first line of the original invoice is less than 10000 CNY, this line is retained in the first transaction. The amount of the second line is the balance that brings the transaction to the maximum amount.

The second transaction is assigned the remaining amount.

Split Transaction Line Option Not Enabled

If the Split transaction line option isn't enabled, then the receivables transaction is split as shown in these tables:

Line Number

Line Amount (CNY)

1

6000

Line Number

Line Amount (CNY)

1

7000

The first receivables transaction line becomes the first transaction and the second receivables transaction line becomes the second transaction.

Note: If after the split either receivables transaction line amount still exceeds the maximum amount, then this transaction line is split into two transactions, with the first transaction assigned the maximum amount.

Transaction Line Unit Price

It can occur that the unit price on a receivables transaction line exceeds the maximum amount setting for split transactions. If you want to retain the integrity of the unit price on Golden Tax transactions, then enable the Allow unit price that exceeds VAT invoice amount limit option.

If you enable this option, then any receivables transaction line with a unit price that exceeds the maximum amount becomes a separate Golden Tax transaction.

If you don't enable this option, then any receivables transaction with lines that have a unit price that exceeds the maximum amount aren't transferred and an error is generated.
