BSI Tax Factory on ECC 6.0 Unicode

I'm looking for some help with using BSI Tax Factory on an ECC 6.0 Unicode System.  Does anyone have any experience with using BSI Tax Factory on the Unicode version of ECC 6.0? Were there any special steps that were taken in order to make it work? I spoke with someone at BSI and they told me that Tax Factory was not Unicode compliant and that I should talk to someone at SAP to find out what steps needed to be done to make the system work.  While I inquire further with both SAP and BSI I thought I would post something here as well to see if anyone could offer any assistance.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Nick,
BSI TaxFactory is not unicode complaint. But in the past we have had customers who converted from non-unicode to unicode and had no problems with BSI TaxFactory.
Export the BSI related data from the DB and import it back after the unicode conversion. And everything works fine!

  • BSI Tax Factory Upgrade 8.0 to 9.0

    Hi BSI,
    We are upgrading our BSI tax Factory from 8.0 to 9.0. We are running:
    Windows 2008 R2
    SQL Server version 10.50.1777
    I'm able to connect to the database using login TF90 through SQL Server Management Studio, the ODBC Data Source Administrator and the TaxFactory Client is connecting fine too.
    But when running report RPUBTCU0 from the SAP system , its caught under ABAP dump-> SYSTEM FAILURE.

    We managed to solve this by changing tf90server.bat file.
    from - I:
    CD I:\BSI\Server9.0
    tf90server.exe %*
    To - I:\BSI\Server9.0\tf90server.exe %*
    Now we could run report RPUBTCU0 without error.

  • BSI Tax Factory Upgrade

    We are upgrading BSI Tax Factory from 8.0 to 9.0. Starting with BSI Tax Factory version 9.0 the standard schema no longer reads this parameter of the UPAR1 function. We have to  define the BSI Tax Factory version in two Customizing activities,
    Specify BSI Tax Factory version for customizing settings and Specify BSI Tax Factory version for master data and tax calculation. The second one is feature 10BSI and it looks like we have to maintain this feature when we use two versions of
    SAP.We are planning to use only 9.0 after our upgrade and still we have to maintain this feature? In the first step specify tax factory version has start date and which date we have to enter ? start of the new payroll period and if we specify start of the
    new payroll period when it retroes will it have a problem. Please explain whoever has done the upgrade.
    Thanks for your help.

    You should be fine leaving feature '10BSI' as is (return ' ' )  as it will then use BSI version defined in new config table. Retro back to period prior to BSI 90 upgrade should be OK as it will also uses BSI 90 engine (i.e. date in config  table is compared with system current date, not payroll start / end date .

  • BSI Tax Factory upgrade from 9.0 to BSI 10D directly??

    Hi Experts,
    I know most of the BSI customers have upgraded from Tax Factory 9.0 to BSI Tax Factory 10.0 as BSI 9.0 support is going to be end of this November 30(2014)..We understand that there is new feature came up BSI 10.0 which is Browser based login to the BSI 10 which runs based Tomcat XML services which needs to be installed on the central windows server server and should be up and running for 24/7..which became a little budget issue for our cllient..
    Client dont want go for buying new windows servers for installation of Tom cat services exclusively..Because of all these constraints we have decided to go to BSI 10D which is having GUI logon feature like BSI 9.0 intead of Tom cat xml services for browser based which is released on 26th July 2014..
    So here My question is ..Is there a possibility to upgrade from 9.0 to 10d directly?? If yes what is the procedure to upgrade from BSI  9.0 to 10d..
    Your inputs in this Upgrade can be really highly appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi Naresh Gollapelly,
    This is also helpful for you 
    SAP has released SAP Note 1875218, which contains the roadmap for BSI TaxFactory 10.0.
    SAP has released the following Notes to allow for the integration of the Payroll U.S. solution with BSI TaxFactory 10.0:
    SAP Note 1903607 (Phase 1 delivery)
    SAP Note 1909014 (Phase 2 delivery)
    SAP Note 1934840 (Phase 3 delivery)
    SAP Note 1937142 (Nonresident Worked Days parameters)
    Installation and Upgrade Notes
    IMPORTANT: For customers with business in Puerto Rico we recommend to wait with an upgrade from BSI TaxFactory 9.0 to BSI TaxFactory 10.0 until cyclic 10.c is available. BSI is planning to release cyclic 10.c (Christmas Bonus) by end of February for certification. The certification will take around 15 days. After the successful certification, BSI will make the executables of BS TF 10.c available.

  • BSI Tax Factory Upgrade:HR Support packs

    Hi All,
    We are starting with upgrade of BSI tax Factory from 8.0 to 9.0. And as per SAP main note '1469858' for upgrade, the support
    pack required is 'HRSP61' but we currently have 'HRSP59'. Also, CLC 61 was applied for 2010 year end activities.
    So, with CLC 61 present, would it be possible to upgrade to 9.0 without upgrading to HRSP 61 ?
    In other words I want to confirm if CLC 61 includes the Tax Factory 9.0 updates.
    Thanks,
    Avinash

    Hi Avinash,

  • BSI Tax Factory 10.0 upgrade

    Hi Gurus,
    We are in the process of upgrading BSI tax factory 10.0. Could you please let me know what should be the start date of changes in table  VV_T5F99K2_US_BSITF for parameter BSITF

    Hi Arun,
    I would say you use same date already there and just replace V90 under value by V10 in your development system.
    Run few tests for regular, retros, off-cycles with deductions/payments changes in past, generate claims, etc for different states, locals and compare same scenarios test results for V90 in your quality against V10 in development to see if functionality does not vary.
    You can switch functionality from V10 to V90 in case there are too many differences in tax calculation at any time although there should not be issues as both would use check date to calculate taxes.
    I would recommend you can look at discussion below for any queries on BSI TF10.

  • BSI Tax Factory  8.0 with 4.6C

    Hi all,
    Our client is in the process of implementing net payroll.  We are on 4.6C  During the process of implementation, BSI has released the new Tax Factory 8.0.  BSI has announced that, they will stop support to Tax Factory 7.0 by the end of this year.
    My question is does 4.6C supports Tax Factory 8.0.  I am unable to get any clear information through OSS notes too.  The OSS notes released in this regard is too vague and don't specifically mention the compatability.
    If it's an upgrade from Tax Factory 7.0 to 8.0, SAP has given some pre-requisites to apply as patches, but if its a new installation of Tax Factory 8.0, SAP OSS note is silent on any service packs and applying patches to 4.6C.  They have given information only for Enterprise versions 4.7 and above.
    Does any one has any idea about this situation or any information of compatability of BSI Tax Factory 8.0 with 4.6C as a new installation.
    I appreciate your time and look forward to get some help in this regard.
    Thanks

    Yes, BSI 8.0 is compatible with 4.6C
    There is a note out there - 1022656.
    You either go to HR SP C6 or implement the attachment within the note.

  • BSI Tax Factory 10.0 - SP level

    Hi All,
    Is it a recommendation or requirement to be at SP 65 (6.04) to apply the notes for phases I, II, and III?
    What is the difference between 'Base HR SP' and 'Synch. HR SP' ?
    What SP is required for the new tool (sync payroll tax data)? We would rather not update to SP65, then a month later need to update to SP8x?.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • BSI Tax Factory 10.0

    I have completely installed BSI TF10.0.d and have begun testing in my development system attempting to use the 'Switch Concept' as outlined in SAP note 1519016. Up until this version, it has always worked fine. Now, the only version referenced in the log from my payroll simulation is TF9.0.j update level 146. Has there been any change that disabled this functionality? Am I  missing something?
    Best regards,
    Michael

    Where did you install Tf10? Stand alone server? Work station?

  • SQL 2005 with ERP2005 (ECC 6.0) Unicode

    Hi All,
    I need a few questions to be answered.
    Can anybody tell me as to what would be the initial size of the database after an installation of ECC 6.0 Unicode with database as SQL 2005.
    Is there any minimum hardware requirements that would have to be taken into consideration before an installation is planned.
    Can anyone help me in deciding whether MSCS services or Manual Log shipping would be preferred for Failovers.....
    Regards
    Anand

    <b>Sizing</b>
    Hardware sizing should be completed by your SAP partner. Its based on many things. Users, modules, storage volumes, peek, BP, workloads etc etc.
    You can do the 'noddy' version with the sapsize on OSS. The output from this is in 'SAPs' you could look up std systems bench marks and get something 'like' it. Else submit the results to the hardware vendor of your choice and they will do it for you.
    <b>System Redundancy</b>
    Depends what you are trying to do.
    MSCS is a fail over HARDWARE only solution. ie if you want to patch or take a node out of service you can by 'failing over' the services on it to the other node. If you get a DB problem MSCS can not help you at all.
    Log shipping gives you 'rapid' recovery options for SQL(and there in SAP). The way this normally works is via either manual or automatic log-shipping to a 'standby' system with SQL/SAP loaded on it that can be brought online if you get a problem with the main system.
    A well planned system will have fail-over and recovery capabilities, ie it will use BOTH.

  • Tax Code from ECC Contract or Info Record not picking in SRM7.0 SC

    Hi Experts,
    We are configuring SRM7.0 with ECC6 (Ehp4) having Classic Scenario.
    In SRM Tax setting, we set as u201CTax calculation in backend systemu201D, we created and mapped Tax code with ECC and it is working fine.
    In our case, Tax Rate varies as per Mat. Code & Country, irrelevant to Supplier.
    Tax code will be maintained in the ECC Contract /Info Record & we are going to use it as a SoS.
    However, while creating Shopping Cart, we must have to assign the Tax code at item level. If users makes any mistake and enter the different tax code, system does not validate it and create the classic PO with this tax code, which is different than maintained in ECC Contract /Info Record, which will be totally wrong and will create mess !
    In tax code Config setting, we have option to default the Tax code, but it is on Country and Product Category basis  .
    Can someone confirm /suggest me , whether anyhow  can we pull the Tax code from the selected SoS i.e. ECC Contract /Info Record, by using some BADi?
    Thanks

    TAXINJ- Formula based calcualtion procedure
    TAXINN- Condition based calculation.
    SAP suggests TAXINN- condition based calculation now.

  • Running Unicode-Specifc Reports for ECC 5.0 (Unicode).

    Hi! All,
    I have freshly installed ECC 5.0 (Unicode Kernel 6.40). In ECC manual I cannot found anything about Running Unicode-Specific Reports. But in the case of Solman/XI Unicode version running Unicode-Specific Reports is
    must. (RUTTTYPACT and UMG_POOL_TABLE). Is it also applicable for ECC 5.0 or I do not have run these reports for ECC 5.0 ?
    Also I have installed only ABAP Engine of ECC 5.0 Is it OK. (I mean Fullinstallation of ECC ?) or I have install Java Add-ons also. It it is can you please send me the CD/DVD no. to install JAVA Addon Engine.

  • Jco for ECC 5.0 Unicode

    Hi,
       We are using Jco 2.1.8. The SAP system is ECC 5.0(unicode). values are passes correctly from Jco to SAP,But while recieving the Values from SAP to Jco, The field values are not properly passed.ie the values of two consecutive fields are coming into first field itself.
    The second field is filled with some garbage characters.
       The same code is working fine foe SAP system 4.6.
        Do we need to enable any settings when we work with unicode systems?
       Or on the java side Do we need make any changes in the code.
