Work with tax invoices

Tax invoices are generated when value-added tax (VAT) is realized. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance automatically generates a tax invoice when a sales order, a purchase invoice, a purchase order, or a payment that generates a realized VAT entry is posted. If an unrealized VAT entry is generated, an invoice is generated instead of a tax invoice.

For more information, see Thailand unrealized and realized VAT.

    1. Go to Accounts receivable > Orders > All sales orders.

    2. Select New to create a sales order.

    3. On the Line details FastTab, on the Setup tab, in the Sales tax section, in the Item sales tax group field, select the corresponding sales tax group for realized VAT.

    4. Select Save.

    If multiple lines on the settled invoice have realized and unrealized tax types, a receipt and a receipt/tax invoice are printed. The receipt/tax invoice shows the invoice lines together with the unrealized tax type and the line total.
