e-Invoice tax calculation.

[former_member248622]

Hi,

We have SRM invoices coming into R/3 using IDOC. We are receiving tax amount also in the IDOC. But our R/3 system has External Vertex Tax calculation switched on. We like R/3 not to calculate taxes for SRM Invoices. Did anyone encounter same scenario and any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Vineela.

Hi

Thanks for the response.

Issue is we don't want Tax to be calculated since the IDOC already has the tax info.

We are already using Vertex for Tax calculation. But for certain doc types we don't want R/3 to call vertex instead just use data in the IDOC.

Thanks,

Vineela.

Hi Vineela,

You can use the following systems for tax calculation:

• SAP R/3 system (tax calculation takes place in the financial accounting system)

If you already have an SAP R/3 financial accounting system, we recommend that you

use the existing tax calculation provided by the R/3 system. You do not need to make

any additional Customizing settings for tax calculation.

• External tax system (Vertex or Taxware)

If you do not have an SAP R/3 financial accounting system, you can use an external

tax system, such as Vertex or Taxware (suitable for large customers only). This type of

tax calculation is only valid for the USA and Canada.

If an external tax system is connected to the SAP R/3 system, it is called up

automatically from the R/3 system.

• Customer-specific implementation (tax calculation in SAP Enterprise Buyer)

If you do not have an SAP R/3 financial accounting system, you can use a customerspecific

implementation for simple tax calculation (for example, if you only have two tax

codes).

Tax Calculation with Vertex or Taxware

This type of tax calculation is only valid for the USA and Canada.

1. Define the destination of the external system, for example EXT_DEST.

Path in the Implementation Guide (IMG): Supplier Relationship Management → SRM

Server → Technical Basic Settings → Define RFC Destinations

2. Define the backend system. The external system is used directly for tax calculation.

Path in the Implementation Guide (IMG): Supplier Relationship Management → SRM

Server → Technical Basic Settings → Define Backend Systems

Required entries:

�� Logical system, for example VERTEX

�� Name, for example VERTEX

�� Destination, for example EXT_DEST

�� System type: Tax external system

If you choose to calculate tax in the SAP R/3 system, tax calculation takes place in the respective financial accounting system (depending on the attribute of the user System Alias for Financial Accounting Systems in the organization model). The SAP R/3 system has to be defined as financial accounting system.

The system determines the tax code from the entries in the tables and fields, for example,from the product category, country of goods recipient, or the domestic/international indicator.

If the tax indicators in SAP Enterprise Buyer do not match the tax indicator in the financial accounting system, you can map them to the tax indicators of the financial accounting system.

The following table gives an overview of all settings you can make:

Settings in Enterprise Buyer for R/3 as the tax calculation system

Setting Menu path in the Implementation Guide

(IMG)

You can maintain tax codes.Supplier Relationship Management → SRM

You can map tax codes that have different

names in the FI system and in SAP

Enterprise Buyer to each other.Supplier Relationship Management → SRM

Server → Cross-Application Basic Settings

→ Tax Calculation → Assign Enterprise

Buyer Tax Code to FI System

You can use individual tax code

determination.Supplier Relationship Management → SRM

Server → Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) → Tax

Calculation → Determine Tax Code

You can change or supplement the data

used to calculate tax depending on the

system selected for tax calculation.

Supplier Relationship Management → SRM

Server → Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) → Tax

Calculation → Change Tax Data

You can specify a tax code for country and

product category (optional).

Please maintain configuration in above nodes.

Please refer to the configuration guide page no 19-20.
