LUFI-21003 Partner Fiscal Position Configuration
LU Introduction
Sometimes even though we have an agreement to recover VAT, it does not mean that all local suppliers will have the ability to invoice MSF with VAT. For that reason we would need to attach a specific tax scheme to those suppliers who cannot invoice MSF with VAT. For this exception we use the sub-module Fiscal positions.
How to Configure a Fiscal Position
- First you need to configure a tax equal to 0 % in the taxes sub-module for partner not handling VAT.
Go to: Accounting/Configurations/Financial Accounting/Taxes/Taxes

2. Second step is to configure the fiscal position.
Go to: Accounting/Configurations/Financial Accounting/Taxes/Fiscal Positions
Select 
and on the Fiscal Positions form view, enter a fiscal position name.

3. In the tax mapping section, select and map a TAX SOURCE with a REPLACEMENT TAX. The REPLACEMENT TAX should be 0%. Save the line . What you are saying to the system here is every time there is a value of 20% tax, it should replace it by 0% tax.

When an invoice is generated on a partner linked to a fiscal position, the system will override the tax linked to the invoiced products thanks to the tax mapping you recorded before. The invoice will look like this:
