Prerequisites

The deferred tax method is set up as follows:

  • In   Administration   System Initialization   Company Details   Accounting Data   you have determined whether to manage a deferred tax system for customers, vendors, or both.

  • In   Business Partners   Business Partner Master Data   Accounting   Tax   you have defined whether to include each business partner in the deferred tax system.

  • Since the reporting according to the deferred tax method is done by using special G/L accounts, in   Administration   Setup   Financials   Tax   Define Tax Codes  , you have set up each tax code you want to include in the deferred tax system, and in a deferred tax account.

Procedure

  1. From the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose   Administration   System Initialization   Company Details   Accounting Data   tab.

  2. Select the Apply Exchange Rate on Deferred Tax checkbox.

Result

A new G/L account, Realized Exchange Diff. Gain/Loss on Deferred Tax, is added at company level. Exchange rate differences in marketing documents where deferred tax is applied are posted to this G/L account.

To see the newly-added account, from the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose   Administration   Setup   Financials   G/L Account Determination  .
