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,
I just updated relevant information for your query in the following thread:
[*BSI 8.0 becomes obsolete August 31st 2011, 9.0 troubleshooting guide here*;
Kind regards,

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

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.
Looking at the error.txt.
=Running connect_db_taxfactory
BSI dataset -> 101

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.
Thanks.

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 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 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!
-Nick

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 9.0 Upgrade

Can folks give me an idea what kind of timelines they are facing to upgrade from BSI 8.0 to 9.0 assuming HR SPs and TUBS required? I am trying to get a rough scope (weeks, months) for planning purposes.

Hello All
We are upgrading TaxFactory from 8 to 9 by following the SAP note 1469858.
when we run the report RPUBTCU0, SAP system is giving system failure error. We are in contact with BSI support but no use, as suggested by them we have changed the password of user ID (OS user) tf90 to password bsi and it did not work.
With our tf90 Os user ID and password abcdef, we are able to connect to tf90 database but when we run report RPUBTCU0, it is throwing system failure dump.
Please advice on the below error message.

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.

Test plan for upgrading the support packs

Dear friends,
We are going to upgrade the BI system with SP18.
Please let me know the impact system will be facing with this upgrade and the test plan to take care after the upgrade.
With Regards
Neetu
Edited by: Siegfried Szameitat on Oct 29, 2008 8:48 AM

Hi,
it will helps hopeful,
Upgradation steps:
1) Convert Data Classes of InfoCubes. Set up a new data class as described in SAP OSS Note 46272.
2) Pay attention to the naming convention. Execute the RSDG_DATCLS_ASSIGN report.
3) Run the report RSUPGRCHECK to activate objects.
4) Upgrading ABAP and JAVA in parallel may cause issues. If there is no custom development on J2EE instance, it is recommended to drop the J2EE instance and re-install the latest J2EE instance after the upgrade.
5) Apply SAP OSS Note 917999 if you include the Support Patch 6 with the upgrade or you will get the error at PARCONV_UPG phase. When you upgrade to a product containing Basis 700, the phase PARCONV_UPG terminates. You included Basis Support Packages up to package level 6 (SAPKB70006) in the upgrade. The job RDDGENBB_n terminates with the error RAISE_EXCEPTION. In addition to this, the syslog contains the short dump TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED. The program SDB2FORA terminates in the statement "LOOP AT stmt_tab". An endless loop occurs when the system creates the database table QCM8TATOPGA.
6) Apply the OSS note 917999 if you get the following error during PARCONV_UPG phase: PARCONV_UPG terminates with TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOG_FAILED

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?

Upgradation of Support Pack 21 - Solman

Dear All,
We are using solution manager from last few days, and as suggested by our senior we are planning to upgrade it upto SP21, and we have done few changes in process flow of charm, by adding new actions & user statuses. Now if we did upgradation from SP19 to SP21, is it going to affect anything from solman ?
Looking for your suggestions.
Regds,
Channabasappa

Hi,
No. You won't loose any customized setting becuase of your SP upgrade. If you have made any changes to SAP standard codes, while implementing the SPs, modification adjustment will pop up and will inform you about the changes. But as you haven't done any code changes, there wont be any issue for you. You can go ahead with your new SP.
