Hi SRM tax gurus,

we have vertex as an external system for tax calculation ( for R/3).we are going global with SRM 5.0.( classic scenario). we want to calculate taxes in SRM and the total gross amount should go in approval process. we know that vertex is only valid in us and canada. what is the amount of development needed to achieve this requirement. ( Any kind of interface thats need to be built to meet this req)

can anybody out there throw some light on this issue

Points for sure!!

Hi

<u><b>Please read the SRM help in detail carefully, before going for any configuration and other settings in your system.</b></u>

Hi Harshika,

This is very much possible in the SRM system.

Please see configuration Guide in this.

<b>Configuration:</b>

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 &#8594; SRM

Server &#8594; Technical Basic Settings &#8594; 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 &#8594; SRM

Server &#8594; Technical Basic Settings &#8594; Define Backend Systems

Required entries:

&#56256;&#56443; Logical system, for example VERTEX

&#56256;&#56443; Name, for example VERTEX

&#56256;&#56443; Destination, for example EXT_DEST

&#56256;&#56443; System type: Tax external system

<b>Additional Information on</b>

Customer-Specific Implementation

You can carry out customer-specific tax calculation by replacing the function module

“NOR3_TAX_CALCULATION” with your own function module:

Go to table BBP_FUNCTION_MAP, in the Object field enter “TAX”. Find Method =

Calculate_NOR3, Type = LOCAL, and Function “NOR3_TAX_CALCULATION”. You can then

change this entry with your own function module.

The interfaces of the new customer function module must be the same as the

default function module (i.e. Import/export parameters, tables and exceptions…

etc.).

There are some tax determination related BADI available which can be looked for your need.

BADI: BBP_DET_TAXCODE_BADI, BBP_TAX_MAP_BADI .

<b>I feel that you are looking at document creation in SRM like Shopping cart or purchase order or confirmation or invoice to go into approval process after tax calculation.This can be easily achieved by N step approval BADI.</b>
