RemSalesTaxSrcAmt := RemSalesTaxSrcAmt +
CurrExchRate.ExchangeAmtLCYToFCY(
UseDate,SalesHeader."Currency Code",TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Amount",SalesHeader."Currency Factor");
// End of the lines.

GenJnlLine."Source Curr. VAT Amount" :=
SalesTaxCalculate.ArithmeticRound(RemSalesTaxSrcAmt,Currency."Amount Rounding Precision");
RemSalesTaxSrcAmt := RemSalesTaxSrcAmt - GenJnlLine."Source Curr. VAT Amount";
RemSalesTaxAmt := RemSalesTaxAmt + TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Amount";
GenJnlLine."VAT Amount (LCY)" :=
...

Replacement code

...
TaxJurisdiction.TESTFIELD("Tax Account (Sales)");
GenJnlLine."Account No." := TaxJurisdiction."Tax Account (Sales)";
END;
GenJnlLine."Tax Jurisdiction Code" := TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Jurisdiction Code";
IF TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Amount" <> 0 THEN BEGIN

// Add the following lines.
IF TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Type" = TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Type"::"Sales and Use Tax" THEN
RemSalesTaxSrcAmt := RemSalesTaxSrcAmt +
(TempSalesLine."Line Amount" - TempSalesLine."Inv. Discount Amount") * TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax %" / 100
ELSE
RemSalesTaxSrcAmt := RemSalesTaxSrcAmt +
CurrExchRate.ExchangeAmtLCYToFCY(
UseDate,SalesHeader."Currency Code",TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Amount",SalesHeader."Currency Factor");
// End of the lines.

GenJnlLine."Source Curr. VAT Amount" :=
SalesTaxCalculate.ArithmeticRound(RemSalesTaxSrcAmt,Currency."Amount Rounding Precision");
RemSalesTaxSrcAmt := RemSalesTaxSrcAmt - GenJnlLine."Source Curr. VAT Amount";
RemSalesTaxAmt := RemSalesTaxAmt + TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Amount";
GenJnlLine."VAT Amount (LCY)" :=
...

Change the code in thePostSalesTaxToGL function in the Purch.-Post codeunit (90) as follows:Existing code

...
TaxJurisdiction.TESTFIELD("Tax Account (Purchases)");
GenJnlLine."Account No." := TaxJurisdiction."Tax Account (Purchases)";
END;
GenJnlLine."Tax Jurisdiction Code" := TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Jurisdiction Code";
IF TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Amount" <> 0 THEN BEGIN

// Delete the following lines.
RemSalesTaxSrcAmt := RemSalesTaxSrcAmt +
CurrExchRate.ExchangeAmtLCYToFCY(
Usedate,PurchHeader."Currency Code",TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Amount",PurchHeader."Currency Factor");
// End of the lines.

GenJnlLine."Source Curr. VAT Amount" :=
SalesTaxCalculate.ArithmeticRound(RemSalesTaxSrcAmt,Currency."Amount Rounding Precision");
RemSalesTaxSrcAmt := RemSalesTaxSrcAmt - GenJnlLine."Source Curr. VAT Amount";
RemSalesTaxAmt := RemSalesTaxAmt + TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Amount";
GenJnlLine."VAT Amount (LCY)" :=
...

Replacement code

...
TaxJurisdiction.TESTFIELD("Tax Account (Purchases)");
GenJnlLine."Account No." := TaxJurisdiction."Tax Account (Purchases)";
END;
GenJnlLine."Tax Jurisdiction Code" := TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Jurisdiction Code";
IF TempSalesTaxAmtLine."Tax Amount" <> 0 THEN BEGIN

// Add the following lines.
