CCS ISU: Regional Structure - REGIONAL STRUC GROUP & TAX JURISDICATION CODE

[Former Member]

Hi there

I am working for a Canadian utility company running CCS-ISU running version SAP ERP 6.04 with Enhancement Package 4 on NetWeaver 7.02. We are looking to update the POSTAL REGIONAL STRUCTURE and have some questions concerning the Regional Structure Group (REGIOGROUP) and Tax Jurisdiction (TAXJURCODE) fields.

We are planning on using data provided by Canada Post to update the Postal Regional Structure, unfortunately Canada Post cannot provide the information that is stored in the Tax Jurisdication Code and Regional Structure Group/District Code. The current data we have stored in these fields is outdated and sometimes missing. We would like to update the Postal Regional Structure without these two fields as it would greatly simplify the update and maintenance of the Postal Regional Structure.

Questions:

1. What are the downstream impacts to the CCS-ISU if we do not store the Tax Jurisdiction Code and Regional Structure Group in the Postal Regional Structure?

We know that 3rd party non energy accounts will default the TAXJURCODE and REGIOGROUP from the Regional Structure if the data is available. If it is not, then the data must be manually entered onto the account. For regular accounts, the system will use the TAXJURCODE and REGIOGROUP that flows through from the Service Address. Are there any other downstream processes that rely on the TAXJURCODE and REGIOGROUP being in the Regional Structure tables?

2. Will there be any impacts to Financials?

3. What data have other companies used to populate the Tax Jurisdiction and Regional Structure Group fields and how has this data been obtained?

Thanks kindly

Jeanette Lau

If you store the data at postal regional structure....these are defaulted at the respective screens connection object,move in screens.

Here u can validate the adress at the time of move in.

if u dont maintain the data at postal regional strucutre.....if these are required fields then u need to enter manually. If tax jurisdiction code activated then u need to enter the TJC.

2. Will there be any impacts to Financials?

Tax Jurisdicton code has an affect if u hve region specific taxation.

3. What data have other companies used to populate the Tax Jurisdiction and Regional Structure Group fields and how has this data been obtained?

check the objects connection object,premise,movein screens, and FPE1 screens.
