Recommendation is to define Main accounts for all posting types at the Component level like main accounts for CGST and Separate accounts for SGST and likewise.
  • Tax Recoverable: All the input credit amount will be posted in this main account
  • Tax Payable: All output GST payable will be posted in this main account
  • Tax Expense: This Main account will be used when there is no input credit and expenses are not loaded on product cost
  • Interim Payable: In case of RCM this will be used
  • Interim Recoverable: In case of RCM this will be used
(As you can see only those accounts which has posting type as India GST as available.)
  • First Click on Add in Condition Section to make condition visible.
  • Then Click on Save to make Value section work.

Whether we need to define same main accounts for all GST registration or different. It depends on client requirement. Our Recommendation is to have different accounts and a completely separate grouping of all GST accounts in chart of accounts.


Step 3 Define HSN and SAC Rates:
We need to understand why SAC rates are showing different.

Now the Next Part

Tax setup in different modules of D365 to enable for GST transactions e.g. Product, Inventory, Vendor, Customer etc…

Step-1: Tax information mapping to product master

D365 FO Diagram

HSN/SAC: To identify the rate for the product, HSN for goods and SAC for services
Exempt: Enable this if the product or service is exempted from GST e.g. Milk, Vegetables etc…
Non-GST: Enable this if product does not fall under GST but you want to mark the product

We suggest while creating HSN Code enter the GST % as Prefix for the Description of HSN so that this Rate shall be visible.

Step-2: Tax information mapping to inventory locations

If we have inventory products to purchase and sales though site, warehouse then we need to map “GST Registration number” which we have created as master in last blog to all the addresses of site or warehouses.

Note: If we do not map any GST registration to the location and use in the transactions, then system will understand location as “Un-register” and also will calculate “Intra-State (CGST &SGST)”.

Now, many people will ask what if we do not define the GST at warehouse but define at the site or do not even define at site but only at legal entity, so here is the priority system will give to find GST registration for any location.

Priority -1: Warehouse
Priorty-2: Site
Priorty-3: Legal entity

Navigate to, Inventory Management > Setup > Inventory breakdown > Site/Warehouse (I am taking warehouse)


Step-3: Tax information for Legal Entity
We need to define the GST registration number for all the address in legal entity. This will be used in all the transactions where we cannot select site/Warehouse, in that case GST registration will be selected from legal entity address e.g. Invoice journal, Free text invoice

Step-4: Tax information for vendor master
After mapping GST registration for internal addresses, we need to map the GST registration for vendor master as well.

Note: Any vendor address where GST registration is not mapped and used in any transaction, that vendor will be considered as “Un-Registered” vendor.

Step-5: Other Tax setup for vendor
Other than GST registration mapping, we can have other setups on vendor

GST Composite Scheme, GTA Vendor, Foreign Vendor etc…
