E-commerce and taxes

I was wondering how you "advise" your clients to set taxes on e-commerce sites before you hand off the site. Do you just tell them to use the state sales tax for their home state and advise them to get an accountant for the rest? There are 11,000 sales tax jurisdictions in the US...

As of December 3, it has only passed the Senate (expected). Even if it does pass the House (unexpected), I imagine all kinds of court battles. There are a lot of folks with deep pockets who believe it's unconstitutional.
Either way, if a site has the ability to set tax rates on a per state basis, there's really nothing to worry about since it would mean just entering that tax rate if there is one when/if it changes.
It also only affects online business with gross receipts over $1,000,000 so little online shops aren't affected.

 IOException {
 String pOrder=getOrder1();
 try{
 OrderManager orderManager=(OrderManager)pRequest.resolveName("/atg/commerce/order/OrderManager");
 Order order = orderManager.loadOrder(pOrder);
 System.out.println("orderManager----"+order.getId());
 PaymentGroupManager paymentGroupManager=(PaymentGroupManager)pRequest.resolveName("/atg/commerce/order/PaymentGroupManager");
 System.out.println("paymentGroupManager----"+paymentGroupManager.getAbsoluteName());
 //Create the PaymentGroup
 PaymentGroup paymentGroup = paymentGroupManager.createPaymentGroup();
 //Add the PaymentGroup to the Order
 paymentGroupManager.addPaymentGroupToOrder(order, paymentGroup);
 }catch(Exception ex)
 ex.printStackTrace();
 return true;
In the next templates I just want to display billing details which added by the user .

Tax A/R - (Liability) and Tax A/P (Assets)

Hi I am confused with Tax A/R and Tax A/P
Tax A/R (when you raise the sales order you collect it from the customer) will be posting to a G/L account in Liability cabinet eventhough it is an income to you,
and
Tax A/P (when you raise a purchase order you have to pay to the vendor) will be posting to a G/L account in Assets cabinet even though you have to pay it to the vendor. What is the logic behind these tax G/L accounts taken into different cabinets in the Chart of Accounts. Is there any one who can share their views on it.
thanks
Venkat
Edited by: Venkat on Mar 18, 2008 12:58 PM

Hi Venkat
It is very simple logic.
You have to pay taxes to the government for all item you sale and you collect it from customer behalf of govt. so that is your liability to govt. means what ever tax you will collect from customer through sale, you have to pay to government, so it is liability.
And on purchase you are the customer, you are paying tax to your vendor on his sale, that means you alredy paid the tax on item.
for example
You purchase item A for Rs. 100 and tax on that is Rs. 10, your total purchase cost is 110.
in this transaction Rs. 100 is your Inventory cost and 10 is tax amount which you paid to vendor and vendor will pay it to govt.
Now you sale that item A for Rs. 200 and you charge tax of Rs. 20 to your customer.
Your total sale value is 220. now Rs. 20 is your libility to pay govt. as tax which you have collected from customer but at the time of purchase you had already pay Rs. 10 tax to the govt. which is accounted in your asset, so you will pay only 20-10 = Rs.10 to govt.

Company Code and Tax company

Hi Experts,
Help me to define what's the difference between the company code and a tax company. Do we have any integration between company code and tax company. I have a scenario with a client where they have only one company code and asking me to define multiple tax companies so that the can generate the W'2 seperately based on the tax company. My concern in this was when we run the tax reporter it will look for the temse files so if we define multiple tax companies with one company code will it effect us any way when we do the w'2 from the tax reporter at the year end.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi,
1) Tax Cos are not assigned directly to co.Code. These are assigned to the Personnel areas (Table V_t5uop).
2) Tax co.is assigned to a distinct Employer Identification Number (EIN) and is mapped to a BSI tax company for tax calculation purposes.
3) You may also want to check feature UTXRP & UTXTM based on your requirement & business process.
Hope this helps.

PRA - Process Improvement for Accounts Receivable and Taxes Payable

SAP PRA introduces process improvements to Accounts Receivable and Taxes Payable write off processes for small dollar line items. When small dollar line item amounts are within the user defined tolerances, these line items can be written off using a batch job, Auto Write Off.

Thank you Wolfrad-
It's a good start. I think the best method in creating roles is to create the name myself and add the t-codes pertaining to that function such as cash application and credit.
I have a list of t-codes (it says all FI transactions) but I don't see credit management t-codes like FD32. Does anyone have a list of credit management t-codes?
Thanks!

Tax Report and Tax Reconcilation Report

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between Tax Report and Tax Reconcilation Report?
What is Tax Reconcilation Report supposed to do?

From the Help Files this is what I have
Tax Report
In this report, you can display documents and manual journal entries that include tax amounts, sorted by tax code.
The tax report includes the following documents:
A/R and A/P invoices and credit memos
Stock transfer documents The stock transfer transactions are displayed only in order to report the transactions in the report due to the fact that the tax percentage is 0.
Manual journal entries
Incoming payments and payments to vendors that are not based on invoices
Incoming payments and payment to vendors that include cash discounts
Tax Reconciliation Report
This report enables you to track the taxes amounts that were posted in sales and purchasing documents and in manual transactions.
The report displays the G/L accounts involved in these transactions and calculates the tax amounts that should have been paid, based on the tax codes defined for each transaction.
The report covers the following transactions:
A/P and A/R invoices
A/P and A/R credit memos
Manual journal entries
A/P and A/R down payment invoices
Incoming and outgoing payments

Tax Code and Tax Amount Fields are not appearing

Hi to all,
While making Downpayment Request (F-47) Tax Code and Tax Amount Fields are not appearing in the screen.
for more clarity...
suppose PO is 1150 include all taxes ( Amount 1000+ Tax Amount 150)
as per agreement with vendor we need to raise DR for 1150 and based on DR we will make downpayment to vendor (F-48)
But in F-47 screen Tax Code and Tax Amount fields are not appearing.
Could any body help me on this??
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Schilukuri

why you are looking for tax code field, pay gross amount as per PO, same amount will update in PO history as well as Vendor account.
Even if you find the tax code field and check the tax code check box, system will not calculate tax at the time of down payment or down payment request.
Please remember that by default standard SAP provides the tax code field in f-47 or F-48.

Sales and Tax reports separated by currency

I searched the forum and had a live chat with Adobe support with no result
BC supports multiple currencies and has the option to set taxes per country or region.
One would expect that BC therefore should supply reporting for sales per currency and tax reports for each defined tax setting.
But it doesn't - sales numbers are all collected as it was in one currency. I have 7 currencies in my webshop.
The sales numbers are totally wrong in the system. All currencies are summarized together without any separation.
Imagine me trying to do a tax report, US only has so many taxes and even sub taxes for some states.
It is practically impossible.
I am reaching out to the readers of this development forum.
Please, please, please is there anyone who can build something to fix this problem in BC.
I am willing to pay for it.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for your reply. yeah we maintained subsriptions in SMOEAC.Transactions created in other roles like SalesPro and MarketingPro are flowing to R3. We are having the problem only with the transactions created in IC.
Also as i mentioned in my posting, BDocs are also being created for Interaction records created along with sales orders. We are not sure whether this is standard process or not ?
If this is a standard process, how these interaction records will be stored in R3 ?
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks in advance,
