The Expense Type is Paid By Company. The Tax Code is: Domestic Purchase of goods, standard rate, fully deductible.

7. Select Document Flow tab and select the journal entry icon.

Only the Net Amount is posted. No posting is made for the Tax Amount.

A posting is not made for the tax amount in the journal entry because the Expense Type is: Paid By Company.

• This is the standard system behaviour.
• A Paid By Company Journal posting is always with the Net Amount and does not include the Tax amount.
• VAT entries are posted in the General Ledger for expenses that are reimbursed to the employee.
• An expense not to be reimbursed (e.g. a paid by company expense) is not subject to VAT taxation. Hence a Taxation posting is not made in the journal posting.

This can be seen in:

1. Go to the Business Configuration work centre.
2. Go to the Implementation Project view.
3. Go to the Open Activity List tab.
4. Go to the Fine Tune chevron.
5. Show All Activities.
