Hello Experts,
I would greatly worth your assistance successful comprehending the handling of Cash Discounts successful SAP B1 for the Greece localization. It is evident that SAP's behaviour successful Greece differs from that successful our different landscapes. For instance, let's comparison 2 SAP databases: UK and GR:
Take into relationship an AP Invoice with a nett magnitude of EUR 100, a VAT of 20%, and a 3% Cash Discount if outgo is made astatine slightest 30 days earlier the owed date.
In the UK Loc. we get:
Account | Debit | Credit |
Supplier | 120 | |
Input VAT | 20 | |
Expense | 100 |
UK Payment
Account | Debit | Credit | Comments |
Bank | 116.40 | ||
Input VAT | 0.60 | VAT Adjustment (20 - 3%) | |
Cash Discount Account | 3.00 | ||
Supplier | 120 |
Whereas successful GR:
Account | Debit | Credit | Comments |
Supplier | 119.4 | ||
Input VAT | 19.4 | Base Amount reduced by 3% | |
Expense | 100 |
GR Payment:
Account | Debit | Credit |
Bank | 116.4 | |
Cash Discount Account | 3.00 | |
Supplier | 119.4 |
To summarize, the UK invoice is recorded arsenic standard, and the currency discount positive VAT accommodation are lone posted upon outgo of the invoice. This is logical since we cannot use a discount astatine the clip of invoicing without knowing if the invoice volition beryllium paid wrong the discount period.
Conversely, successful Greece, SAP applies the discount straight connected the invoice by reducing the VAT basal magnitude by 3%, efficaciously making an beforehand VAT adjustment. This attack seems incorrect arsenic nary discount should beryllium calculated astatine this stage. Although the VAT magnitude appears close if paid wrong the discount period, reconciling the remainder of the process could beryllium challenging.
We person not recovered immoderate settings successful SAP to change this behaviour, nor is determination immoderate SAP documentation that explains this process successful Greece. It appears we whitethorn beryllium overlooking immoderate steps, truthful immoderate guidance connected the close handling of this would beryllium appreciated.
Thanks successful advance,
G.
