Create Accounts Payable Invoice Enabling LCM

Follow the instructions in this section to create Accounts Payable Invoice Enabling LCM

Follow these steps:

  1. Create BOE invoice:
    For importing goods to India, you must create the BOE invoice to calculate the taxes payable to customs authority at the port of entry in INR currency. The invoice should calculate the basic customs duty based on the assessable value, surcharge (e.g. for education cess and higher education cess) on the customs duty, and IGST on the sum of the assessable value, customs duty, and surcharge. The BOE invoice details are as follows.
    • Payables Invoice Header.
      This table displays the details of Payables Invoice Header for the BOE invoice:
      Supplier Supplier Site Invoice Currency Total Amount
      Customs Authority Port of landing INR 1142916
    • Payables Invoice Line.
      1. Enter these details for Line 1 of the BOE invoice::

        This table displays the details for Payables Invoice Line 1:

        Line Amount Assessable Value Transaction Business Category Landed Cost Charge Name Reference Type Value Total Amount

        Total in INR 1142916
      2. Save and validate the Payables invoice.
    • Tax Determination Process

      The SA_IN_GST_CUSTOMS is levied at 12% on assessable value (6060000*12%=727200INR).

      The SA_IN_GST_SURCHARGE is levied at 10% on custom duty (727200*10%=72720 INR).

      The SA_IN_GST_IGST is levied on the sum of the assessable value, customs duty, and surcharge [(6060000+727200+72720)*5%=342996].

      The non recoverable IGST=342996*60%=205797.6.

      The tax engine searches for the transaction business category in the transaction line and determines the tax and tax rate.

    • Tax Lines

      This table displays details of those tax lines that are created upon successful completion of the tax determination process.

  2. Create invoice for freight to the port of entry.

    When you create the BOE invoice, the assessable value contains the freight charge to the port of entry. You don’t need to calculate custom duty and IGST for the freight invoice. However, the invoice for freight charge that is incurred while receiving material ownership must have the Landed Cost enabled and allocated to item cost. The invoice is paid to the freight supplier.

    Here the supplier is Air India. The invoice details are as follows.
