EU or non-EU sales: how to make the distinction?

[Former Member]

Dear all,

Is there a field available per standard SAP which determines if the sales is within the EU or between a EU and a non-EU country?

I know that there is a field like this within MM (Purchasing) called EC Import (EGIMP). This field is u2013 as far as I was told u2013 filled by standard SAP by checking the vendoru2019s country and the country of the plant receiving the goods.

Or how could we check this via the access sequences within the pricing procedures? Would there be any other way to determine this via access sequences?

Many thanks!

Hello,

Generally speaking in SD you have a delivering country and receiving country. then in the country settings (oy01) you have EU indicator. If both countries have this indicator then transaction is intercompany.

you can extend your komk structure for pricing by this field and calculate it in a user exit (separate exits on sales order and billing)

Thanks for the answers!

It is not for reporting purposes, but rather to have a Y/N indicator to use in the tax determination (via access sequence).

Hi,

Since your requirement is to determine the Tax based on EU and NON EU country.

It is better to maintain the Condition Records based on the Destination Country and Departure Country. In case of EU Departure countries, you can maintian the Tax with this combination acc as per your requirement.

And for Non-EU Departure Countries, you can maintain diff Tax. This will solve your problem.

Hi Dev_Ravi,

Thanks for your reply.

In fact, this solution will increase the amount of condition records to be maintained on the MWST condition.

We used the EU indicator which is in the country settings to make the differentiation between EU & non-EU. One access sequence for non-EU countries, with only the departure country as criteria in the condition record. This allows us to only maintain one condition record instead of one for each departure/destination country combination.

If you need it for reporting purpose only,

then you may also do this by using the Region field in General Tab in Customer Master Data (XD01).

Maintain 2 Entries in it, "EU" & "Non EU".
