Posting and Assigning Documents
Use
You have to assign all postings that should be considered together for input tax correction to the same correction object.
Before running input tax correction, you have to classify all line items due at that time by specifying:
If they are relevant for input tax correction
Which correction object they are to be assigned to
It is not possible to correct the input tax for a line item unless the input tax distribution was already executed for it. The following information is essential for input tax distribution:
The object from which the system should determine the option rate
The date for which the option rate should be determined
According to German law, the date of service must be used for determining the option rate. Therefore this date must be entered when an invoice is posted. You can make settings in Customizing so that if the date of service is not entered, the system can derive the date automatically.
Prerequisites
You made settings in Customizing for all the functions of input tax correction. For more information, see Executing Input Tax Corrections .
The settings you make in Customizing for the account and document type determine if an item is relevant for input tax correction. Dependent on these settings, the system automatically sets or deselects the indicator for whether the line item is relevant for input tax correction.
You also created a correction object .
Procedure
Ultimately, only the user can assign line items. The system assists you in the process by automatically proposing potential correction objects. Proceed as follows:
You can enter the correction object when you post (FB01) or during account assignment of purchase orders on real estate objects. If a correction object was not entered during posting, then you can enter one later (see below).
In document entry, in the detail screen for additional account assignments in the
Inp. Tax. Corr.
group box, you can enter the following:If you want the item to be considered for input tax correction
The correction object
The date of service
If you want a different option rate, and if so, which one
Before the correction run, you assign the line items to the correction object (using
Assign Original Documents
). You can also change other data relevant for the input tax correction (see Assigning Line Items to Correction Objects ).
Result
The line items are grouped together in the correction objects. After that, you can perform option rate determination and input tax distribution for the relevant items. You can then execute the correction run.
