Creating Vouchers for GST Applicable Services

To obtain services from a supplier, you must create a voucher in the A/P Standard Voucher Entry program (P0411). When you create a voucher, the system checks whether the Apply GST processing option for the PO - A/P Standard Voucher Entry program (P75I0411) is set to apply GST. If the processing option is set to apply GST, the system requires you to enter the invoice number when you create the voucher. If you do not provide the invoice number, the system displays an error and you cannot proceed. The invoice number is required for claiming GST input tax credit.

At the time of voucher creation, the system enables you to link the applicable service tax rate and the GST rule to the service transaction. Additionally, you also link the TDS type if TDS applies to the transaction. You use the Voucher Entry GST Tag file program (P75I810) to link this information with the voucher.

You must generate the self-invoice for service transactions on which reverse charge is applicable. The system does not process the self-invoice for transactions for which self-invoice exists. To generate a new self-invoice for those transactions, you can use one of these methods:

  • Manually cancel the current self-invoice from the GST Tax File Information program (P75I807).

  • Set the processing option Enable Automatic Self Invoice Cancellation from the Calculate GST for AP Vouchers program (R75I804) to allow the system to automatically cancel the current self-invoice when you generate a new self-invoice.

For more information about printing self-invoice, see Printing a Self-Invoice for Reverse Charges.

You can override the Place of Supply field value from the GST Voucher Tag file program (P75I810). The system uses the Place of Supply value to update the Transaction Category value. You can update the SAC and GST rule through the Regional Info on the Row menu of the Supplier Ledger Inquiry form. However, you cannot update these values after GST is calculated for the voucher.

Note:

If you obtain services from a service provider for your personal use, you cannot claim input tax credit (ITC) for the services received.

In such a case, you must associate the voucher with a GST rule that is set up as GST non-recoverable. The system does not calculate the GST for records set up with GST as non-recoverable.

When you create the voucher, the system updates these tables for the voucher (without tax information):

  • F0411 GST Tag file table (F75I810T) with the GST additional information for the voucher

  • F0411 Tag File - IN table (F75I411) with the TDS information for the voucher, if applicable

  • Account Ledger table (F0911) with distribution journal entries

  • Accounts Payable Ledger table (F0411) with pay item lines

You can also set the system to compute the GST after voucher creation. If you set up the system accordingly, the Calculate GST for A/P Vouchers program (R75I804) is launched after you create the voucher. The system updates the GST Tax File table (F75I807) with the transactions on which reverse charge is applied and GST Self Invoice Header File table (F75I848) with self-invoice number.

Note: The Calculate GST for A/P Vouchers program (R75I804) does not process those vouchers that are created by the purchase order module during the voucher match process.
