About country specific functionalities

Hello all,
I want to ask question about country specific functionalities. I found that when I installed fresh database. Now, let say I want to choose a country but that country is not on that list, what do I use then? The nearest neighbor country? Would there any problem with that later on?
If I choose a country now and later on I want to change it, can I do that? If yes, how and is there any problem?
thanks.

i dont think you can choose the closest counrty its not like that, unless both conurty using same setup for let say HR legsalation and things like that.
for ex. jordan is not lestad in the countries and HRMS in jordan is diffrent then Sudia so we dont choose sudia becase its close to jordan we keep the defualt
it all depend on the functionaly that you are using

Check against country-specific edit format

Hi All,
Currently for VAT registration number, settings for VAT registration number using transaction code OY17 is as follows,
Length: 9
Checking rule : 9 i.e. Check against country-specific edit format
Now the user wants to enter a registration number with a different format which SAP is not allowing to enter. The length of the number is 9. But it is still not accepting. Country is ES.
Can anyone let me know the relevance of the checking rule 9 i.e. Check against country-specific edit format. How the system validates the VAT registration number.
Please help.
Thanks,
Aman Goel

Hi All,
Does anyone has idea about this?

Country specific to 99

Dear Experts,
Kindly let me know the possibilities to use some country version for other countries for which SAP localization not released
Since there is no SAP country specific version for Oman, is it possible to call Saudi specific schema and country specific feature from Other country versions (99)
Please provide your suggestions
Regards,
R.Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
i thing your talking about payroll.. If you don't have country specific payroll for Oman then you have to go for the international payroll. For this you need to use 99 as the country grouping ( molga). And use the international payroll schema X000.
you need to incorporate all your statutory deduction or payments via writing PCR. you should not copy the feature or schema for other country version because all this schema and feature will read the value from it's own specific country group tables. For an example if you copy the schema for Saudi, it will read the saudi country group payroll related tables.
But if you still wanted to make a copy , then you copy and make it to customer feature or schema and ask your ABAP er to change the structure of schema or feature to read the value according to your country group 99.

Dinesh.

Country specific versions in SAP

Hi,
sorry for the newbie-question: Could someone please point out to me the concept of the SAP country versions or provide a link to appropriate documentation? Everything I found on this topic was about marketing or more specific questions.
My first question is quite simple: How do the country versions work in general? Are they something like a patch that one applies to integrate country-specific items or processes into SAP? E.g. does a country version provide all the means necessary to fulfill legal requirements in a certain country?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When sap says country version it includes country specific civil, tax laws, contributory and other tax laws (all these details are populated in the country specific info types).
I found this document to be very interesting and related to your query.

Displaying XML news to country specific users

Hi All,
I have a requirement that to display the xml news to country specific users (i.e If a user is from India he can see the news based on india.If a user is from UnitedStates he can see the news based on US).All the news should maintained in a single repositary.Is there any possibility of applying filter to filtering the news? or any idea...

Hi,
Have country specific news under different folder in KM.
So for example create folders with ISO country codes and place news under these folders: IN, US, DE
You can then create your own proxy IView and then redirect it to KM Navigation IView depending on Country property set in user profile.
This way you can dynamically change the KM folder path and show country specific news.
Check this to know about proxy IView:

Resusing Country Specific Application - GT

Hello,
We need to setup Guatemala for all the Personal Information iViews, and we would like to reuse Mexico for this. The steps I followed were:
1) Assign Screen Structure to Infotype Version
2) Define Active Subtypes and Use Case
3) Country Specific Applications
After this, when I changes my ID to GT PERNR and logged back in to Mexico, the Adddress & Personal Data works fine but not Family Members/Dependants. This iView does not recognize the already exisiting record son the GT emloyee's IT21 and when I click on create new record, it throws a Java Null Pointer Exception.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Nakul

Deepak,
Thanks You!! Solved issue!
Another question I have while on this topic... The closest we could get to Guatemala (GT) was Mexico (MX). And if you think about it, MX is the only country in LAN for which SAP has provided iViews. Although MX works fine for GT for IT2 and IT6, we cant get it to work for IT21, because the screens of MX and GT are very different in IT21. Any ideas on how we can resolve this issue?
Another thing to consider is, we do not use IT21 for GT, but we would haet for the GT employees to go in there and see an ugly error message.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
nakul

BI datasources related to country specific found missing?

hi everyone,
i am not aware whether to post here or not...
i am using IDES system of R3 ECC 6.0 and BI 7.0 but not aware of components in it..
i am looking for datasources related to country specific(ex: 0ID_BR_NF_1 etc) in rsa5 tcode in R3.datasources seems missing..
can anyone suggest what component is to be added for ECC.and BI
and give me some idea about ADDON and SP(service pack).
i had gone through tcode SAINT. please priscribe what addon should be added

Hi JP,
I think I will need to explain a little bit more/different.
First of all, thanks for your help, I will note these exit's for future issues, who knows?
The userexits you mentioned are helpful when the proposal was created and needs to be copied.
But in my case it is a bit different. I created new keys/conditions for packages (key including route) plus corresponding rules using POP1/POF1. And I want these rules to be used when creating packing proposal with button "automated packing". But my new rule with new key has not been used. Only rules with the "old"/standard key were taken into consideration.
So I assume, that for automated packing I will need to read also the "new" key in any exit. And this exit should be anywhere while the proposal will be created in the order.
But another possibility is, that SAP checks the condition type hardcoded.
Any idea?
Best regards,
Gerlinde

SAP support for country-specific legal requirements

Just wondering if anyone could clarify how does SAP support work for the country-specific legal requirements. I'm sure in every country some new laws come to life regularly that affect the SAP customers and their ERP systems.
Case in point - on July 1st Mexican authority SAT decided to ask businesses to send them some XML files with some GL account information ('Anexo 24' - see the announcement in Spanish here). The deadline for the first file submission is October 2014.
This clearly affects every single SAP customer in the whole Mexico, as well as potentially many North America customers who have manufacturing facilities there. So would it be reasonable to expect SAP to come up with some standard solution? XML file extraction doesn't seem to be incredibly complex to me (although I might be off).
Another question - how would the customers know that SAP is aware of new laws and is taking some action? Could there be an announcement posted somewhere? There is a website for SAP Latin Americabut the latest announcement there is from June and nothing else is on the home page except for the HANA ads. (My Spanish is limited to "dos cervezas por favor", sorry if I missed something.)
In absence of such communication, naturally, the only option the individual customers have is to send a message to SAP. And that's where SAP replies with a copy/paste text (we got the same exact response as another SCN member here):
Feel free to maintain this incident opened, but contact us in the next three weeks, then we will be able to confirm if this legal requirement will be supported by SAP.
I'm confused - "IF"?! This is a legal requirement, there is no "if" for the business. Let's see if I got it right - we wait for 3 weeks, then SAP decides "nah, not gonna support that" (by the way, why is it on the customers to contact support again?) and every SAP customer in the whole country will have to scramble their own resources or pay for consulting (on top of SAP maintenance fees) to deliver the same exact set of programs on their own in under 2 months?
It could've been just an unfortunate choice of verbiage by Global Support, but I'm curious - is this really how the support for legal requirements supposed to work?
Thank you.

Hi Jelena,
Having been part of the SAP Globalization Services in Brazil, I understand a little bit of that process.
A few comments:
1) Localization of SAP solutions to country-specific regulation is under the responsibility of an area called Globalization Services. You can find more info about what they do here:
http://service.sap.com/globalization
2) Typically, those country-specific requirements are discussed in much details on the local ASUG chapters (at least that's how we did it in Brazil). That's why it's usually hard to find material in English, but I'd say that your local IT/Biz people in Mexico should be regulars in their local ASUG meetings, specially if they have a specific chapter to discuss Localization matters.
3) I found out this note with more specifics about "SAT Anexo 24".
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2041490
Apparently SAP is still analyzing it.
Suggestion if you want to speed the analysis up: reach out to your commercial contact in SAP.
4) Regarding your statement about the time it takes for the analysis & delivery to take place.
As an SAP customer, you have all the right to complain about the service level you're getting, it's just that, having been on the other side of the table, I know some facts that sometimes may be taken for granted. For example, SAP do not have infinite maintenance resources. I do understand that all customers pay maintenance and need to have their demands addressed, but SAP does not have a bench of developers available for whenever a new demand appears. If there is a new demand, they need to estimate the efforts and accommodate it into the development resource planning.
5) From a legal perspective, there is a difference between Legal Change and New Legal Requirement. The latter, if differing too much from the initial purpose of the acquired software, might not necessarily be required by the Software provider to be fulfilled within the maintenance scope. I'm not saying that it's the case for this Mexican requirement, I'm just saying there is this possibility, generally.
My personal recommendation: get your local Mexico people to be closer to the SAP Mexico team. They are usually responsible to publish information about such local requirements and the SAP release plan.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Henrique.

Using Country Specific Chart of Account in addition to Operational COA

Dear Team
We are implementing 16 company codes with Group COA A002 and
Operational COA A001 across all companies. Out of 16 Company codes 4
company codes already went live and running successfully. We are also
using one controlling area and operating concern for all company codes.
Out of 16 company codes there are 2 company codes from Turkey and
requires Turkey Country specific COA to be used mandatorily. But we
would like use same COA A001 for Turkey company codes in order to use
one Controlling Area across group which is not fulfilling the legal
requirement of the Turkey. We would like to use Country specific COA in
addition to the Operational COA and the same will be assigned to the
Company code in OB62.
In this case we need to create GL Accounts under Turkey COA and assign
the same in the Operational COA as alternate Account no.
In this case can we meet all the Turkey country specific legal
requirements as given below through Alternate GL Accounts No?Turkey Legal Requirements:
1.Country Specific GL account numbering
2.Reflection accounting
    - Monthly Closing for Expenses Accounts
    - Yearly closing for Expenses and Balance Sheet accounts
3.Inflation Accounting- Presently not using
4.Country Specific Reporting
5.Bank accounting- Bills if Exchange
6.Print out of Transactions in Turkish language
7.Cost of Sales statement
8.Document Journal
9.Taxes on Sales & Purchases
Please help in this regard.
Thanks in advance
Ravi Nalluri

Hi,
1. Create country COA in OB13
2. Assign it to your company code in OB62
3. Create GL accounts in your country COA
4. Assign country GL account to your operating COA gl account(FS00 > Control data > Alternative account no.)
5. System doesn't allow you to assign country COA gl if already has the balance
     So, change message settings accordingly in OBA5
6. You can see financials from your country COA also as F.01 & F.08(Select Alternative Account Number)

The iPhone warranty is not international and as you purchased in
Malaysia the warranty is only valid in Malaysia
You could try taking to an iPhone Authorised service provider

Why are HP printer cartridges country specific? Is there any way around this?

I have just moved from the UK to Newfoundland, Canada and I have brought my HP PSC 1610 printer with me. I was advised not to bring any cartridges with me because they would explode during the flight so I had to buy new cartridges upon arrival.
I noticed that the cartridge numbers recommended for my printer were similar but not exactly the same but the (HP, etc.) websites I looked at did not mention that HP printer cartridges country specific.
In the UK black cartridge is an HP338 (C8765EE).
In Canada the websites told me that the black cartridge is a 94 (C8765WC).
I ordered a 94 cartridge (which took an indordinate amount of time to be delivered) and when I installed it my printer would not accept it ("not intended for use in this printer" error message) even though it fit perfectly. I looked at the packaging in greater detail and noticed that I had been sent a 94 (C8765WL) and I also noticed (in a very small font size) "for sale only in Latin America".
My questions are therefore:
1) Why are HP printer cartridges country specific?
2) Is there any way around this? Eg is there anything I can do to my printer/ laptop to tell it to accept this cartridge?
3) Are 94/ C8765WL cartidges compatible with 94/ C8765WC cartirdges? Ie did the supplier sell me something that couldn't be used even if I had a Canadian HP PSC 1610 printer?
4) Can I return the cartridges to the supplier given that it is based in Canada, they delivered it to me in Canada and yet they sold me a product that says "for sale only in Latin America"?
Thanks

You will need to Contact HP to request a "Regionalization Reset". There should not be any charge for this, it is covered as part of the cartridge warranty. You will need to have access to your computer and printer while on the line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once the reset is complete cartridges from the original region will no longer work. HP's web page on the subject is here.

Country Specific Tax Registartion Validation/Check Rule

Hi,
Was trying to control vendor tax number registration in XK01, but rule 9 ' country-specific template' is not valid in OY17, is there where in SPRO to activate that? Or it has to be exit and logic defined there also?
Thanks.

Seems this solution should do but not sure if this is the only way,
activate 'check other data' in OY17 and use Tax Code 1/2 fields, then define rules in FUGR TSRV
