Generate AP Tax Adjustments

Form ID: (AP504500)

On this form, you can view the list of documents that were paid in full within the cash discount period and to which the system has applied a value-added tax (VAT) reduced based on cash discounts. For these taxes, on the Taxes (TX205000) form, Reduce Taxable Amount on Early Payment has been selected in the Cash Discount box. For details, see VAT for Early Payments: General Information

You can generate AP tax adjustments for the documents you select or for all listed documents. When you generate the tax adjustments, the system releases them, applies the cash discount amounts to the appropriate documents, and closes the documents.

The form toolbar includes standard and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands are listed in the following table.

In the Selection area, you can select the ending date, branch, and vendor for which you want to view the unprocessed documents to be shown in the table below.

The list of values is limited as follows:

  • If a branch is selected in the Branch box, a vendor is listed (and available for selection) if the Restrict Visibility To box on the Financial tab of the Vendors (AP303000) form is empty or contains this branch or the company of this branch.
  • If the Branch box is empty, a vendor is listed (and available for selection) if one of the following is true:
    • The Restrict Visibility To box is empty for the vendor—that is, the vendor’s visibility is not restricted.
    • A branch or company is specified in the Restrict Visibility To box for the vendor, and your user account is assigned to the role specified in the Access Role box of the Configuration Settings section of one of the following: the Branch Details tab of the Branches (CS102000) form for the branch, or the Company Details tab of the Companies (CS101500) form for the company.
    Note: These visibility restrictions are applicable only if the Customer and Vendor Visibility Restriction feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
Consolidate Tax Adjustments by Vendor

A check box that indicates (if selected) that one tax adjustment will be generated for multiple documents grouped by branch, vendor, vendor location, currency, AP account (and AP subaccount, if applicable), and tax zone.

If the table contains multiple documents (any combination of bills, credit adjustments, and debit adjustments), all for the same vendor, when you click Process All on the form toolbar, the system will create the following documents:

  • One debit adjustment for the selected bills and credit adjustments
  • One credit adjustment for the selected debit adjustments

The check box is cleared by default. With this check box cleared, a separate tax adjustment will be generated for each document.

Tax Adjustment Date

The date to be used as the date of the tax adjustments generated. By default, the current business date is selected.

This option is available and required if the Consolidate Tax Adjustments by Vendor check box is selected on this form.

Fin. Period

The financial period to which the generated tax adjustments should be posted. By default, it is the period of the current business date.

This option is available and required if the Consolidate Tax Adjustments by Vendor check box is selected on this form.

Table 1. Table Columns
Column Description
Included An unlabeled check box that you select to include this document for processing.

One of the following types can be selected:

  • Bill: A bill for which the system will create a debit adjustment. When you select the unlabeled check for a bill and click Process on the form toolbar, the system creates a debit adjustment and fills in its credit terms based on whether the Use Credit Terms in Debit Adjustments check box is selected on the Accounts Payable Preferences (AP101000) form:
    • If the check box is selected, the credit terms are copied from the vendor's settings.
    • If the check box is cleared, no credit terms are specified.
  • Credit Adj.: A credit adjustment for which the system will create a debit adjustment. When you select the unlabeled check for a credit adjustment and click Process on the form toolbar, the system creates a debit adjustment and fills in its credit terms based on whether the Use Credit Terms in Debit Adjustments check box is selected on the Accounts Payable Preferences (AP101000) form:
    • If the check box is selected, the credit terms are copied from the vendor's settings.
    • If the check box is cleared, no credit terms are specified.
  • Debit Adj.: A debit adjustment for which the system will create a credit adjustment. When you select the unlabeled check box for any number of debit adjustments and click Process on the form toolbar, the system creates a credit adjustment for each debit adjustment and fills in its settings as follows:
    • The Terms setting is filled in by default based on the vendor's settings.
    • If the debit adjustment has credit terms with a cash discount, the system ignores this setting and inserts credit terms without cash discounts in the credit adjustment. That is, the credit adjustment's Cash Discount Date is the same as the Due Date, and the Cash Discount is set to 0.00.

Doc. Date The document date.
