Text for VAT line item in MIRO

[Former Member]

Hello,

While posting a MIRO, if we select 'calculate tax', the line item for input tax is generated directly in the accounting document. There's no way to enter text (SGTXT) for this line item since it's automatically generated and appears nowhere while doing MIRO/MIR7.

Need your help to understand if there's a way to add text, for line item belonging to tax, while parking/posting the invoice in MIRO/MIR7 or is this a limitation of SAP?

Thanks & Regards,

Suresh

Hi Suresh,

For auto generated postings, you cannot maintain long text. However, you can achieve this by creating a substitution with user exit in GGB1. For that you have to check with your ABAP team.

Hello Mukhtar,

Thanks for your suggestion, I though about the substitution rule but that would only work in case the text which is to be entered is fixed. This wont work in case where the text to be entered for the tax line item is different every time.

Hi Suresh,

In that case it wont work. As a work around, enter text manually after done posting.

Hi,

   There is no direct option in standard as of my knowledge. However, you may check whether you can use the "sort key" functionality to achieve the requirement. Refer the thread: and the doc:

Hello Prasoon,

Thanks for your reply, can we put random text while executing MIRO/MIR7 if we use this approach?

It is possible to add line item text in MIRO.

If you not able to enter a value in this field, then check the field status of the corresponding layout using transaction OLMRLIST.

Hello Rosh,

Thanks for your reply but the suggestion which you've provided does not fit in the context as the VAT/Tax line item is generated automatically and posted to FI. We cannot see it in MIRO/MIR7 screen so I'm not sure how this would work. The tax line item is not present even in the simulation screen of MIRO/MIR7.

Thanks & Regards,

Suresh
