how to set up Tax bus. posting groups and Tax prod posting groups on G/L Account card

appliwin

Hi I'm wondering if user needs to set up the Tax bus. posting groups and Tax prod posting groups on G/L Account card. It seems those fields are VAT related but I'm not sure. If user posts a purchase on a GL account using sales order, the tax could be calculated using the vendors' business group and tax area setup. But what if user post a purchase to the same GL account using General Journal? How is tax handled from there?

Purchasing a Gen. Posting type = sale should not be allowed.

Those are vat related fields and not mandatory.

Posting a purchase in general journal or purchase invoice should have same effect provided same vendor accounts are used

Those are use for different purposes. In some countries for the same VAT (tax) prod., you can have different accounts depending on VAT (tax) bus. this is the only way to solve it. Even some companies wants to make that kind of differences
