A mixed GST bill has some lines with GST and some without, such as taxable goods plus GST-free items. Each line needs its own GST code.
Before you start
- Australian tax codes set up for the company code
The S/4HANA way
Where to find it: Manage Supplier Invoices (F0859) > G/L Account Items > Show Details
- Add each G/L account item and choose Show Details.
- Set the Tax Code on every item. Use a GST-free or input taxed code for those lines.
- Choose Check to see the tax calculated, then Post.
Limits in S/4HANA
- Tax code availability depends on your configuration.
Good to know in S/4HANA
- SAP maps Australian purchase tax codes to BAS tax boxes. Examples: P1 non-capital purchases GST 10%, P2 non-capital GST exempt and free, C1 capital purchases GST 10%, C2 capital GST exempt and free, P8 imported supplies.
The Pulsify way
- Forward the supplier's invoice to your Pulsify address or upload it. Pulsify reads every line and finds the supplier in S/4HANA.
- Pulsify works out the GST rate for each line from what is printed and picks the matching tax code in S/4HANA.
- Check any line where the invoice is unclear. Change the tax code and approve.
- The supplier invoice is created in S/4HANA with the GST on each line.
Pulsify connects to S/4HANA. We set up the connection for you.
What Pulsify does not do here
- If the invoice does not show GST by line, Pulsify uses past bills for that supplier. Check those lines yourself.
Example in S/4HANA
Example Fresh Foods sends a supplier invoice with cooking oil, fresh produce and a display fridge. Amounts are before GST.
| Line | Amount | Tagged to |
|---|---|---|
| Cooking oil | $192.00 | Tax Code P1 (non-capital, GST 10%) |
| Fresh produce | $120.00 | Tax Code P2 (non-capital, GST exempt and free) |
| Display fridge | $2,500.00 | Tax Code C1 (capital, GST 10%) |
Check shows GST of $269.20 on the oil and the fridge, and a gross total of $3,081.20. Your own tax codes may differ from these examples.
Common mistakes
- Assuming P1 and C1 are your codes without checking, because tax code availability depends on your configuration.
- Posting without choosing Check, so the calculated tax is not looked at.
