how to transfer the service tax amount in excise

shradha1604

hello all,

in case of service tax settlement, if ST recoverable is more than ST payable, then we need to transfer the net balance(after settlement) to excise components(i.e. set off).

But after settlement, the tax authority vendor will get debited (if rec> pay).
then how do we transfer the debit balance to excise components.
I know that it can be done through excise journal but the tax authority vendor's ledger account is a summary ac that is defined in posting profile of AP and summary ac is locked in journal. and we can not do the direct posting in case of locked in journal.

Then how we can transfer the tax authority vendor balance to excise through excise journal.

Thanx in advance
