VAT error when posting with BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone

We are using BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST to do vendor invoice postings. This BAPI has an ALE message ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT which we are using for an inbound IDOC.

The problem is that when we do vendor invoice postings with BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST, the base amount (bseg-fwbas) and the document amount (bseg-wrbtr) are stored as exactly the same amount for any tax related GL account. For example, we use a GL account for tax calculations. We specify the relevant tax code for the GL account.

When you do a posting via transaction F-02 you can tick a checkbox called DETERMINE TAX BASE for any tax related line items. When this checkbox is checked, the base amount is stored correctly in table bseg.

I know there is an ACCOUNTTAX table in BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST table parameters, but I do not know whether it should be filled in or how it should be filled in.

Have anyone ever experienced this kind of error when using BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST for vendor invoice postings?

This error is also occuring when I use BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

NB: Don't promise points, and the Abap objects forum is not the best forum for this question. Try

nevertheless, look at this OSS FAQ [Note 626235 - Tax postings with accounting BAPIs|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/626235]

Hi Raymond

Thank you for your response and thank you very much for the SAP note. It helped a lot. Sorry about the mistakes. I am new to this forum.

I still have one small problem. Is it possible to specify in BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST that the tax base amount must be calculated automatically? I know in the FI transaction, which is used for vendor invoice postings, is there a checkbox called DETERMINE TAX BASE. When this check box is checked, the tax base amount does not need to be specified. In the BAPI, I currently specify the base amount as a parameter, but in order to this, the base amount need to be calculated manually. This manual calculation can become a problem if you have a lot of invoices that must be posted.

We are using BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST in an IDOC. We are using the message type ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT. That is why we need to be able to determine the tax base amount automatically.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

I fear that you have to calculate the tax basis amount in your programs, look at OSS [Note 367175 - No tax calculation function in FI/CO BAPIs|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/367175]

 Solution
A solution does not exist.
The tax data must be determined before the BAPI is called and in the tax line items they must be passed on to the BAPI/IDoc.

Hi Raymond

Yes I just saw that note as well. This is a problem........

Thank you for your assistance. I appreciate it.

I will now travel into the realm of the unknown to explore the different alternatives for tax base amount calculations. This is going to be a long, hard and confusing day........

Enjoy the rest of your day.
