Use

SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS) uses the SAP Transaction Tax Engine (TTE) in customs duty calculation, to calculate the import turnover tax (ITT) in the EU.
The settings for the TTE follow this configuration information. A list of essential Customizing activities is contained in the Activities section.

Note

The TTE Configuration Information contained in the settings area for the Transaction Tax Engine applies to the TTE in SAP CRM; it is not applicable for SAP GTS.

Recommendation

The configuration effort for calculating import turnover tax in the Transaction Tax Engine is very high. Therefore, as an alternative to the import turnover tax calculation, we recommend that you use the condition type IVAT with duty type NT (import turnover tax for EU) in the following Customizing activity: Define Customs Duty Framework

Enter the relevant tax rate in the following Customizing activity: Enter Tax Rates for Calculating Import Turnover Tax

Requirements

  • To use the TTE, you have to activate the Virtual Machine Container (VMC) in SAP NetWeaver (Basis) in the system. Be sure to read the corresponding information in the configuration guide for SAP Customs Management (customs duty calculation). You can use a report program to check whether the VMC is active.
  • To calculate the import turnover tax, you have to classify the master data for business partners and products. To do so, you have to define the appropriate tax types and tax groups.
  • Tax determination for customs calculation is activated using the calculation procedure. Therefore, add a duty type for calculating the import turnover tax to the definition of the structure of the calculation procedure. You must assign to this duty type the duty category T0 Input Turnover Tax for EU (Transaction Tax Engine). Moreover, to calculate the tax base for the import turnover tax, you have to assign the appropriate cost components to this duty type in the structure.

Standard settings

The standard settings already contain a number of TTE settings, particularly for Germany (DE). If you want to add additional countries, you can use the IMG activity Copy TTE Country Specific Configuration to copy the settings from a country that has already been configured.
