VAT registration No. determination

[majusko]

Dear SD experts,

this is to request an advice in VAT reg. No. determination.

Sales Order is created with SOLD TO XYZ from Sweden (Affiliate) but SHIP TO 123 is a partner in Finnland. Tax destination country in SO is Sweden as well.

Now when an invoice is created VAT Reg. No is taken from the Sold to partner.

Requirement is following:

1.) is it possible to setup the system in the way that VAT Reg. No is taken from the Affiliates registration in other country? In this case expectation is that system uses VAT Reg. No. of Affiliate XYZ made in Denmark.

2.) is there a place where to store the Affiliates VAT Reg. No in other country? In customer master record it is possible to enter more VAT reg. No's and the country, but the usage of the fields is not clearly defined.

Thanks a lot for any idea.

Hi

Please, see SAP Note 21734 - Determining sales tax (VAT) from any partner, and related notes. This note suggests you if you need for adjusting the VAT number in the billing doc (VBRK-STCEG) you can do it with VOFM subroutines in the copy rules (it suggests sample of coding) according the possibilities suggested in the note.

I hope this helps you

Regards

Eduardo

Hello,

Go to IMG - Sales and Distribution - Basic Functions - Taxes - Maintain Sales Tax Identification Number Determination.

The following Tax number determination options are available in SAP Standard:

Blank - according to priority rule

A - generally from sold-to party

B - generally from payer

C - according to priority rule, dest. country from ship-to party

What is priority rule? You can read more about this in Help document in the above IMG Link.

For any other requirement, you will have to go for Z-Development / Enhancements.

Thanks,
