In tax transfers, the report reads the number of the invoice and the number of the payment from the Reference and Assignment fields respectively. If the Assignment field contains a clearing document number instead of a payment document number, the system uses the payment date and number from the first payment item in the clearing document.

In invoices with target tax codes, the number of the payment document is stored in the customer item.

In the case of down payments, the payment number counts as the invoice number as well as the payment number. The report does not mark down payments as such, nor is this required.

If you posted VAT from Sales and Distribution (SD) invoices for goods in transit, the report reads the Reference Document Number field of the accounting document that was created during the VAT posting. If it finds the “VAT^” prefix in that field, it enters the relevant SD invoice document number as the invoice number and the billing date as the date of the invoice. The invoice amount, VAT amount, and customer data fields are also retrieved from the SD invoice. Once payment has been made and an FI invoice has already been created, the report enters the payment data (payment document number, payment date, and so on) using the data from the FI invoice.
