Dear IFS-Community,

is it possible to set up a pseudo code with a tax code?

I already checked the external payment parameters but I can’t set up the tax code for the whole message code.

I’m a bit confused because in my opinion this is a standard case if I want to automate transactions on accounts.

Hopefully I’m just blind 🤓

Greetings

Frederic

Hello, what do you mean when you say that you can not set up the tax code for the whole message code? Could share some more details?:)

Hi ​@Irina_A,

please find the attached screenshot.

As you can see there I set up the tax code V19 für the Message Code MDOP.

In this case it works because for MDOP is always the same posting (bank fees).

 

Now I need to set up the tax code for a supplier payment with the Message Code RDDT which is the code for the most of our supplier debits.

In my case I created a pseudocode for one supplier debit (Leasing costs) which goes directly to an expense account and always with tax deduction.

 

Therefore I look for an option to set up the pseudo code within a tax code.

But it´s not an option for us to set up the whole RDDT Message Code with a tax code because other RDDT postings have different tax deduction or no tax deduction.

Hey ​@Ralph Gericke maybe you got an idea for this?

I can’t imagine that there’s no option in IFS for setting up some automatic accounting rules with different tax codes.

Would be great to hearing from you.

Hi ​@FGodehardt 
I was just about to open a ticket because I don't have the option to store a tax code in the pseudo code, and then I stumbled across your ticket. And that has already helped me. Until just now, I didn't know that you could store a tax code and an account in the message code. I was blind to that. 
That already helps us a lot. 👏
But (there's always a but) we miss the option to store certain booking elements (Cost Center is probably the most common code part). How do you solve this?

Hi ​@Maren Hellemann 

Thanks for your comment.

Unfortunately I have not solved this topic yet.

As I already mentioned above we have transactions such as energy costs, which go to the same account but are subject to 7% tax in some cases and 19% in others. Therefore, setting the tax codes in the message codes is only of limited help.

Sometimes you can still store standard tax codes for accounts in the account settings, but this does not solve the above problem either.

Regarding your cost center question:
We control most cost centers automatically via posting control. You can also create certain connections, for example, if cost center X is selected, automatically assign the BA to Y, etc.
