Shipping cost and French VAT

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I have this problem to resolve :

My customer wants to distribute the cost of shipping in an invoice in all items among the weight.

So I have a Shipping condition and it's OK. No is coming the VAT problem !!!

The shipping cost is at VAT 19,8% and if I have an Item at VAT 5,5% the distribution ok the shipping cost is also based on 5,5 % and not on 19,8%

So how can I distribute the shipping cost and have the real good one VAT ?

Thanks

via SPRO- SD-basic functions-pricing-pricing control-define & assign pricing procedures - maintain pricing procedures

here you can change the positions of the different condition types (RVAA01 is the standard pricing) . One of the condition types is freight (HD00 of KF00 - shipping cost). if you move the freight (HD00 or KF00) under MWST then the VAT will be calculated only on the price of your goods and not on freight. The freight will be later on added to your goodsprice+VAT.

but if you do this, then you need to maintain your condition type with condition records via VK11.

is this clear maybe?

thanks

what you can also do is make a condition type for shipping costs (similar to freight costs) where you can define whether it is on percentage basis of the base value.

If you do this then you also need to maintain for this condition type your condition records in VK11. Here you can define for which customer(or, material, plant ) the transport costs are.

So whenever you create a sales order for this customer this condition type will appear in the HEADER conditions of the sales order. This value will be then automatically equally distributed to the 3 items. But then of course there is no need to make a service for shipping costs (where you also define that it is 5,5%). In the case above the shipping costs will be taxed at 19,6 %. And this is not what you want. Therefore, I suggested maybe it is better for you that you define a seperate service via MMS1.

I'm not sure that I'm totally clear on may request...

So, in the last exemple, I have :

Header conditons : Shipping cost : 100 Euros with VAT 19,8% (so 19,8 euros)

Material 1 : Value 40 euros VAT 5,5% and shipping distribution 20 euros (no VAT on this condition type)

Material 2 : Value 60 euros VAT 5,5% and shipping distribution 30 euros (no VAT on this condition type)

Material 2 : Value 100 euros VAT 5,5% and shipping distribution 50 euros (no VAT on this condition type)

So how can I do that ?

Thx

this shipping cost is a service which you provide to your customer

i think you need to create via MMS1 a service (like you create in MM01 a material). In the sales org tab you need to indicate whether this service is full rate, low rate, no rate etc...

Then in your sales order you make 2 items. One for your material and one for your service. You will in the header conditions that it will contain 2 MWST values one for 5,5 % and one for 19,6%

I hope this helps

reward if helpful
