FB60 - Tax amount field becomes invisible

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

In FB60, when I click on calculate tax check box, the Tax Amount field becomes invisible and the tax doesn't get calculated in the posted document.

Please see the below screen shots.

Please provide your viewpoints.

As of my knowledge, in FB60, the tax amount field will hide when you will tick the calculate tax option.

You can see the tax amount in Tax tab. Have a look into the Tax tab.

Additionally check the similar thread

Yes Vineet,

Answer from Dev seems to be correct.

If you select the check box calculate tax, system should not allow you to post tax manually.

Hi Vineet,

I checked in my system. This is the normal behavior of SAP that disables (makes invisible) the Tax Amount field as system restricts the User to manually enter the tax amount when you are checking the 'Calculate Tax' indicator. This field will be enabled only if the 'Calculate tax' check box is unchecked.

Also, as this field is made invisible at the program's screen level, you can check the tax information in the 'Tax' tab as suggested by our experts.

This is controlled at the program 'SAPMF05A' and at the screen level '1200'. Please check the below modules which making the screen difference in FB70 when the 'Calculate tax' check box is ticked.

Hello Vineet,

For the posting of vendor invoice you have to use output tax type i.e. A but you have used wrong input tax type i.e. V.

So please check that once and revert us accordingly.

Hi Lakshmi or Sapan,

Can either of you please explain me what is wrong in using a input tax type while creating a vendor invoice?
As per my understanding...

Input taxes are taxes that you would have paid/have to pay when you purchase materials (input for production). Output taxes are taxes that you would be charging the customer while selling materials that are sold (output of your production).

So whats wrong in using input tax type V?

Hi Vineet,

The Field 'Tax Amount' is used when you dont want system to calculate it and entered manually . This is case where we receive the invoice which has a tax amount entered by vendor , in such case we will mention the tax amount manually instead of automatic.

If you observe carefully whenever you click automatic calculate tax check mark it will get disappear.

you see more info by F4.

Hi Vineet,

If you select calculate tax option in Tax tab of FB60 then the tax amount field is invisible in basic data tab.

Please unselect that calculate tax option then the required tax amount field is visible.

I have already checked this and it is working fine as defined.

Thanks & Regards,
