Use

To transfer CRM and SRM invoices to R/3 for tax reporting.

Note

The tax codes in the TTE must have a 1:1 relationship with R/3 tax codes. When you are making initial Customizing settings, all tax codes except those for travel expenses, must be defined in the TTE. For more information, see Define Tax Code in the section Activities.

The correct assignment of the TTE tax event (TTE tax results) to a correctly maintained tax code is a prerequisite for transferring CRM Billing or SRM invoices to R/3 for tax reporting. In R/3, tax reporting is based on tax codes making this a crucial activity.

In this activity you define:

  • An account determination key that determines the correct posting account for taxes and is assigned to the tax items in the tax code.
  • A tax code that, in the following sub-activities, is assigned a tax event, rates and parameters.

Requirements

Backend System: R/3

Account determination keys and tax codes must be defined in R/3 Financial Accounting.

Other Backend Systems

Before this activity carry out the activities for tax codes and account determination keys in the TTE Customizing Activity: Assign Objects from External Systems.

Standard settings

Activities

Complete the activities in the order given:

Define Account Determination Keys

For integration with R/3 existing account determination keys must be used.

Check the available account determination keys in R/3 in the IMG by choosing:

Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Basic Settings -> Check and Change Settings for Tax Processing.

For integration with other backend systems, define the account determination key mapping in the TTE Customizing Activity: Assign Objects from External Systems.

Define Tax Code

In R/3 new tax codes are created to reflect new tax rates. The relationship between tax codes defined in the TTE and R/3 has to be 1:1 so that the definition of a new tax code in R/3 requires you to:

  • Define this new tax code in the TTE
  • Modify the validity period on the original tax code
  • Maintain the corresponding tax condition rate and tax rate ID in the TTE Customizing Activity: Maintain Tax Rates and Exemptions
  • Maintain the modified Valid-From Date for the tax rate ID in the activity Assign Rates and Parameters.

    TTE tax codes contain up to 4 characters whereas R/3 tax codes contain 2 characters. If your backend system contains tax codes that are not 2 characters long, define the tax code mapping in the TTE Customizing Activity: Assign Objects from External Systems.

Assign Tax Events (to Tax Code)

Set the Default Indicator for SRM scenarios when more than one tax code could be relevant.

Assign Rates and Parameters

The Valid-To date refers to the tax rate ID. When a new tax code has been defined for a new tax rate in R/3, the TTE tax rate ID is also changed in the activity Maintain Tax Rates and Exemptions. The applicable Valid-To date of the tax rate ID must be entered to ensure that the correct tax rate is applied.

Example

Synchronizing R/3 and TTE tax codes

In R/3 a tax code is defined for VAT for the UK with the following information:

Tax Code         A1

Tax Rate         17.5%

In R/3 there is a 1:1 relationship between a tax code and a tax rate but unlike tax codes in the TTE, R/3 tax codes are not time-dependent.

In the TTE this tax code is defined with the following information:

Tax Code:     A1

Valid-From:     01.01.2003

Valid-To:     12.31.9999

The tax rate of 17.5% is maintained in the IMG activity: Maintain Tax Rates and Exemptions

Introduction of a New Tax Rate

A new tax rate is introduced on 04.01.2003.

In R/3 a new tax code is defined for this new tax rate:

Tax Code:     A2

Tax Rate:     18%

In the TTE, this tax code is defined:

Tax Code:     A2

Valid-From:     04.01.2003

Valid-To:     12.31.9999

The validity date range on the original tax code A1 is modified:

Tax Code:     A1

Valid-From:     01.01.2003

Valid-To:     03.31.2003

And

A new tax rate of 18% is maintained for the corresponding tax rate ID in the IMG activity: Maintain Tax Rates and Exemptions
