Use

The Tax Manager's Workplace (TMW) is a Customizing tool that enables you to make all settings relevant to tax calculation in Brazil, from a single point of access. Most TMW options can also be found as separate activities within the IMG; these are listed below with their IMG menu paths. Two options can only be accessed from the TMW - option to change to a different country within the TMW, and migration of tax rates to condition records - and these are documented below. The other migration function for transferring tax group changes to access sequences is a separate program with its own documentation.

We recommend that you work through the individual IMG activities when you first configure Brazilian taxes in your system, documenting as you need to on a project basis. Then, as you need to make changes (due to a change in tax rate, for instance), you can do so quickly using the TMW. You can also access the TMW by calling the transaction J1BTAX.

You can access the documentation of the individual activities in the standard way (by clicking the document icon to the left of the activity in the IMG), or by choosing the blue i icon within each activity.

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

The initial screen of the TMW lists all the Tax Rate Tables you can maintain. You access the tables individually under Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Calculation -> Settings for Tax Calculation in Brazil -> Tax Rates ->

contain the activities listed below along with their individual menu paths. Only the third menu, Condition Setup, contains activities that are relevant only to condition-based tax calculation, which are not visible if you have not activated condition-based tax calculation (Migration, Condition Mapping, and Nota-Fiscal Mapping).

1) Entities

2) Tax Calculation

  • Maintain Tax Rates

    You can maintain any tax rate table by selecting it on the initial screen and choosing this menu option.

  • The following Tax Calculation menu options are available as IMG activities under Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Calculation -> Settings for Tax Calculation in Brazil ->
  • Tax Law Determ. SD, under Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Basic Settings -> Brazil -> Define Sequence for SD Tax Law Determination
  • Other Country

    This enables you to specify a different country than the one you entered when you accessed the TMW initially (based on the entries in the Define Countries activity). The last country you have selected then appears as the default when you enter the TMW again.

3) Condition Setup

  • Migration
    • Tax Rate Tables to Conditions
      • You choose this option to carry out the initial conversion of entries in the Brazilian tax tables to condition records. You can select individual tax rate tables one at a time and check whether corresponding condition records exist (by choosing Condition records -> Check conditions and the appropriate application, MM or SD). A log appears on the bottom half of the screen, which displays the status of each entry in the particular table, and the tax rate table above receives the overall status of the lowest status of any of its entries:

Traffic light    Meaning

Green    Condition records exist for all fields in the table entry

Yellow    At least one field in the table is missing a condition record (but some do exist)

Red    No condition records exist for fields in the table entry (that are supposed to have one; some do not require one)

Once you have checked the tax rate tables, you need to convert the entries of those tables with status red or yellow to condition records by selecting the table, specifying the application (MM or SD), and choosing a conversion option. Condition-based tax calculation can then function once you have condition records for all your tax rates.
  • Tax Groups in Access Sequences
    • You run this program to update access sequences after you create or change a tax group.
