Tax Classification

[Former Member]

Hi all,

In standard SAP, system copies the tax classification from the tax information stored in the customer master record of the ship-to party. I want that system should check tax classification from the tax information stored in the customer master record of the sold to party instead of ship to party.

How can i do that?

Plz respond.

Best Regards,

AI.

Goto,

IMG - SD - Basic Functions - Taxes - Maintain Sales Tax Identification Number

Tax number and tax classification are copied from the sold-to party.

If you enter A, tax number and tax classification are generally copied from the sold-to party.

The tax number is copied according to the 'country of destination relevant for taxes'.

I resolved it myself. I went to tcode SM30 and open view V_TVKO_TAX. There I maintained 'A' for my sales organization and it worked.

Many Thanks.

its nice to see that you have solved your problem on your own.

But i just want you to see my reply,

You have done the same thing, what I said in my post. I have given you menu path to maintain the entry , where as you have maintained the same entry through table.

from SM30- enter the view table & Click on "Customizing" which will take you to the same node, which I & Arijeet Biswas has

I think it is a myth that a Tax classification (and Tax reg number) is always taken from the Ship-to.

In Standard SAP settings, this is the rule that is followed and you can validate that by doing some tests as per the logic below.

The priority rule works as follows:

the standard priority rule works as follows:

1. If the payer has a VAT ID number and Payer is not equal to Sold-to, then the tax number and tax classification are copied from the payer (in this case, the ship-to party is not relevant).

The tax number is taken according to the 'tax country of destination'.

2. If 1. does not apply:

If the ship-to party has a VAT registration number and the sold-to party does not, tax number and tax classification are copied from the ship-to party.

3. If 2. does not apply:

Tax number and tax classification are copied from the sold-to party.

Also, if you make the Sales tax identification number as A for your Sls Org, then, tax number and tax classification are generally copied from the sold-to party. The path is SPRO-SD-Basic fn.- Taxes - Maintain tax identification number.

Hope this helps

Hi,

TAX CATEGORY will be determined based on the SHIP to country, this is the Standard behaviour.
