Tax Departure Country issue

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have following situation: sales org in country NL with plants in country BE and country GB.

We do not use plants abroad as this is currently not an option.

When a sales order is created for plant BE (delivering plant BE), the tax departure country is set to BE which is correct.

However when a sales order is created for plant GB (delivering plant BE or GB), the tax departure country is set to NL which is incorrect.

While manually changing the tax departure country to GB, we received a message that no GB VAT registration number was maintained for company code NL. After adding the GB VAT registration number to the NL company code, we still do receive NL instead of GB.

Any ideas of what else needs to be checked or customized?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,

Geert

Thanks for your replies.

The issue was due to a table that needed to be maintained in the SO user exit.

Please check if you have the entries in

OVK6 - Assign delivery plants for Tax determination (locally which Tax country category to use)

OBBG - Assign Tax Country to calculation procedure.

Hope this helps

Hi JJ,

Thanks for your prompt reply!

All plants BE, NL and GB are assigned for tax determination.

As for the sales tax identification number determination the value for the NL sales org is set to A (tax number and tax classification are taken from the sold-to party. The tax number is taken according to the 'tax country of destination).

In my case this would still be GB.

What is striking to me is that setup for plants BE and GB seems similar, but the result isn't.

Best regards,
