Data migration AR line items and Tax

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am working on a data migration project at the moment and am uploading AR, AP and GL line items.

I have seen comments that I should not include the tax amount in the AR and AP line items and should not include a tax code either.  Can you please explain this to me in more detail?

Would it not be better to include the tax code and get SAP to calculate and post the tax automatically rather than having to make a manual posting into the tax accounts?

many thanks

Hello Philip,

Typically, we load the customer open items and then tax account balance through GL balances.

Customer open items:

Dr A/R

Cr A/R Migration A/c

GL balances:

Dr/Cr Tax

Cr/Dr GL migration A/c

Hi Philip,

We dont update tax codes, while doing cutover for AR/AP as system already calcuated tax in old system and required tax payment would have carried in legacy system.

so, we only takeover AR/AP open line items.
