Business place
Definition with example
Business Place
Use
In Taiwan, the business place is used for value-added tax (VAT) reporting and Government Uniform Invoice (GUI) document numbering.
Structure
In Taiwan, the tax authorities assign each sales office a GUI registration number and a tax registration number. In Country Version Taiwan, the business place corresponds to the company sales office and, in Customizing, it is the organizational unit to which you assign the two tax numbers. By making these settings, you establish the business place in the system as the entity registered with the authorities that is responsible for issuing GUIs and submitting VAT returns.
You define the business place in Customizing for Cross-Application Components:
General Application Functions ® Cross-Application Document Numbering ® Taiwan ® Define Business Place
If your company has more than one business place located in Taiwan, you can choose to file your VAT returns centrally, whereby it is the main business place that files the VAT returns on behalf of all business places. If this is the case, you have to specify the main business place in Customizing. You do this in Customizing for Financial Accounting:
Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Company Code ® Enter Global Parameters
Select the relevant company code and choose Additional details. In the field Business place of head office, enter your main business place. After you have done this and you have created your VAT media file, the system displays the tax numbers of the main business place in the media file, and not those of the individual business places.
Integration
If you are working with Sales and Distribution (SD), you need to assign the business place to a sales office in Customizing for Cross-Application Components:
General Application Functions ® Cross-Application Document Numbering ® Taiwan ® Assign Business Place to Sales Office
This setting allows the system to derive the business place from the sales office when you post a document in SD.
However, if you are working with Accounts Payable (FI-AP), Accounts Receivable (FI-AR) or Materials Management (MM), the business place is not associated with any other organizational unit beyond the company code and therefore you have to enter the business place yourself.
We recommend that you maintain your user profile and default your business place to parameter ID_BUPLA (if you are using complex posting transactions, default your branch to parameter JEA). This allows the system to copy the relevant business place to the transactions with which you are working and so reduce the risk of error.
