Consolidated invoices for Japan

In Japan, invoices are consolidated each month for payment. This article provides information about consolidated invoices, and explains how the invoice amount and due date are calculated.

You can consolidate several vendor invoices, purchase orders, purchase returns, and purchase journals into a consolidated vendor invoice for payment. You don't have to issue payments for the separate vendor transactions. You can also consolidate customer invoices, sales orders, sales returns, and sales journals into a customer consolidated invoice that you can send to the customer.

You can create two or more consolidated invoices on the same day for a customer or a vendor. After you create a consolidated invoice for a customer or a vendor, you can pay the vendor or receive payment from the customer, and settle the consolidated invoice for the amount of the payment.

The following calculations are performed for a consolidated invoice:

  • Invoice amount
  • Due date

Calculating the invoice amount for a consolidated invoice

After you create and confirm a consolidated invoice on the Consolidated invoice page, the following amounts are calculated:

  • Previous invoice amount – The total invoice amount for the previous consolidation period.
  • Previously paid amount – The total amount that was paid for the previous consolidation period.
  • Adjustment amount – The adjustment amount for the previous consolidation period. The adjustment amount includes cash discounts and bank charges.
  • Outstanding amount – The total outstanding amount for the current consolidation period. The outstanding amount is calculated by using the following formula: Previous invoice amount – Paid amount – Adjustment amount
  • Invoice amount during consolidation period – The total invoice amount for the current consolidated invoice. This amount includes the sales tax.
  • Total invoice amount – The new total invoice amount for the current invoice. This amount is calculated by using the following formula: Outstanding amount + Invoice amount during consolidation period

Calculating the due date for a consolidated invoice

Invoices are consolidated each month, based on the consolidation day that you specify for each vendor or customer. The consolidation day determines the day and period that invoices are consolidated for, and the date that payment is due. If the last day of the month falls on a date that is earlier than the consolidation day that you specify, the invoices are consolidated on the last business day of the month. Therefore, if you specify 31 for the consolidation day, but the current month has fewer than 31 days, the invoices are consolidated on the last business day of that month. For example, the invoices for June 2012 are consolidated on June 29, 2012, because that is the last business day of the month. The following table shows how the payment due date is calculated for invoices that are generated on different days. The consolidation day is 10, and the payment date is the end of the month.

Invoice number Invoice date Consolidation day Due date
INV001 May 4, 2012 May 10, 2012 June 29, 2012
INV002 May 10, 2012 May 10, 2012 June 29, 2012
INV003 May 18, 2012 June 10, 2012 July 31, 2012
INV004 June 8, 2012 June 10, 2012 July 31, 2012

Tax adjustment on consolidated invoice

The primary purpose of this feature is to support consolidated monthly invoices for Japan as qualified invoices. Changes are introduced in relation to the Qualified Invoice System (QIS) for Japan. For more information, see Qualified Invoice System in Japan.

To support the QIS requirements that affect consolidated invoices, the following capabilities have been introduced (in both Accounts receivable and Accounts payable):

  • Adjust (calculate and round) Japan Consumption Tax (JCT) once per qualified consolidated invoice and tax code.
  • Set the accounting currency as a mandatory filter when you create consolidated invoices.
  • Confirm a consolidated invoice to validate sales tax transaction properties, calculate the consolidated invoice tax and tax adjustment per sales tax code, and show the consolidated invoice tax and tax adjustments.
  • Allow for manual adjustment of the calculated consolidated tax (Accounts payable only).
  • Add a Post operation to post the tax adjustment per sales tax code.
  • Print the Qualified Invoice Issuer (QII) number of the company on a consolidated qualified invoice (Accounts receivable only).
  • Print a total tax breakdown, including the total invoice and total tax amounts per tax code, on a consolidated qualified invoice.
  • Add a Reverse operation to reverse posted tax adjustments per sales tax code.

Calculating the consolidated tax for a consolidated invoice

After you create and post a customer consolidated invoice, the consolidated consumption tax is calculated and adjusted in the following way at the consolidated invoice level in Accounts receivable and Accounts payable:

  • The posted sales tax transactions for each sales tax code for all invoices that are included in the consolidated invoice are summed (in transaction currency) for the following values:

    • Amount origin
    • Actual sales tax amount
    • Actual nondeductible sales tax
  • The consolidated tax is calculated as Sum of the amount origin × Sales tax code rate value ÷ 100. This calculation is done for each sales tax code, including nondeductible amounts, and rounded according to the rule in the sales tax code.

  • The tax difference is calculated as Consolidated taxSum of the actual sales tax amount. If there's a difference per sales tax code, a tax adjustment is posted through a general ledger journal by using customer or vendor transactions, as appropriate.

  • Posted transactions that are offset to the tax adjustment can be settled against invoice payments.

Note

For a consolidated invoice from a vendor, a tax difference can occur only when manually entered actual consolidated tax amounts from the vendor invoice differ from the calculated amounts. In this case, the tax adjustment, including the non-deductible part, is posted to an expense or capitalizing account.

Assumptions and limitations

Here are the main considerations for this functionality in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance:

  • Sales tax calculation parameters should be configured in the following way. For more information, see Set up sales tax for JCT.

    • All sales tax codes have an appropriate value for the Tax type field (Standard or Reduced).
    • The Origin field is set to Percentage of net amount.
    • The Marginal base field is set to Net amount of invoice balance.
    • The Calculation method field is set to Whole amount.
  • Sales tax code parameters should not change during the invoicing period.

  • Tax-inclusive scenarios aren't supported.

  • Vendor invoices that are posted via a vendor invoice journal aren't included in consolidation.

  • Free text invoices and project invoices aren't included in consolidation for customers.

  • Financial dimensions aren't inherited from the invoices that are included. Instead, they're entered from vendor/customer accounts.

  • Only invoices in the company's accounting currency are included in a consolidated invoice.

Note

If the Tax adjustment on consolidated invoice functionality doesn't meet any of your specific requirements, consider using the Summary invoice functionality instead. For more information, see Consolidate sales orders or packing slips for posting.

  3. Review the data, and then select Consolidated invoice > Confirm. The invoice status is changed to Confirmed.

  4. Select Consolidated invoice > Sales tax. The Sales tax transactions dialog box appears and shows unposted sales tax transactions for the tax adjustments for the consolidated invoice. The Overview tab contains additional fields for the consolidated amount origin, consolidated posted sales tax, and actual consolidated sales tax.

  5. On the Consolidated invoice page, select Post. The following actions occur:

    1. Sales tax adjustments and a corresponding customer transaction are posted. The posting date is the consolidation date of the consolidated invoice.
    2. The total amount of the sales tax adjustment is added to Invoice amount during consolidation, Sales tax, and Total invoice amount on the consolidated invoice.
    3. The consolidated invoice is marked as Posted.
  6. On the Consolidated invoice page, you can review the posted sales tax transactions by selecting the Sales tax menu for the posted consolidated invoice.
