Impact of GST on the Maintenance lines

This functionality is specific for India.

The part maintenance lines are created for the parts of an item that are received in the warehouse for repair. In case GST is implemented, tax details must be specified for the maintenance lines. LN defaults this tax data on the coverage lines.

Receipt of part from customer

When the part of an item is received at the service warehouse for repair from the customer, an inbound warehouse order is created. GST is applicable for this item only if the item is stored in the warehouse and if the item is not returned to the customer within six months. The tax is calculated and printed on the receipt when the item is received by the customer.

Coverage lines

Coverage lines include information of the costs incurred, amounts to be invoiced, and the amounts covered by the applicable contract and/or warranty. Coverage lines are created based on the type of Maintenance Sales Order. For Maintenance sales orders with Pricing Method set to Fixed Price, a coverage line is created for the entire order. For Maintenance sales orders with Pricing Method set to Time and Material, a coverage line is created for each resource. For each coverage line a billable line is created in the central invoicing.

If GST functionality is implemented, for part receipt and part delivery lines, LN defaults the tax data specified for the coverage line on the billable line.

Convert to Part Delivery/Part Receipt

In case a loaned part is not returned by the customer to the service department or the part is not returned to the customer by the service department, an invoice or a credit note is generated when the delivered part is costed.

Invoice or Credit note is generated when converting a maintenance line to part delivery or part receipt line during costing. In this scenario:

  • GST invoice is generated based on the tax specified on the invoice.
  • Tax invoice is initiated only after the item service is completed.
  • Tax rate on the receipt date must be the same as that of the purchase order line.
  • Tax Invoice Number and Tax Invoice Date are specified on the invoice.
