Multi VAT on single invoice line

[AshishIncyte]

Hello,

We have suppliers who are posting invoice through Ariba Network for a simple service PO, these are PO with single line item for services. On Invoice posting , Suppliers are using multiple VAT components e.g. charging VAT 8.1 % and 2.6 %.

When we get these invoice in Ariba invoicing, there is no option to assign tax code on these split VAT lines. Instead, I just get an option to assign a VAT code on the total VAT, which is not accurate. Anyone else had this issue with Ariba invoicing? What can be done to assign appropriate VAT codes on individual split lines?

A quick workaround would be to create two pre-selected tax types/categories on the Network for suppliers.

For rate you would create a new tax type. (Instead of using predifined WHT, VAT, SALEStax you use OThers and type in the ID)

Then you would upload these tax types that you created onto Ariba solution too and create corresponding tax codes and tax data for these new tax categories in Invoicing.

In that way you can have two different VAT tax items with two different tax codes on a single invoice line.

Thanks for your response. As we are integrating Ariba invoicing with SAP S/4 HANA, this solution unfortunately doesn't work out for us. We can create different tax types for these invoice, but how do we configure to post these as VAT to S4, that is one concern. Also, we were still not able to select different tax codes on split tax lines.
