How to define G/L Accounts for taxes in SAP S/4HANA

When you are posting any GST documents, the respective GST tax amount (input GST or Output GST) must be posted into the respective G/L accounts. In order to fulfill this requirement, we need to configure account determination by assigning the G/L accounts to the GST transaction keys.

In the SAP GST configuration of account keys, we have created 3 Input GST account keys and 3 Output GST Account keys. You need to link the G/L accounts to these account keys.

To full fill this requirement, we need to define the following General Ledger accounts for input and output tax accounts.
