Plants abroad question

Hello Guys,
I want to implement the Plants abraod tax procedure and have the following question:
Is it possible to have the same tax code used by different countries with different tax procedure?
Let say I have the company X with tax countries A and B. Is it possible to have :
- the same tax code D1 with different tax rules (rate and G/L account) depending on the reporting country?
- different tax codes using the same conditions but having different accounts depending on the reporting country?
For such situations, what is the SAP best practice : to create as many codes as rates and as many conditions in the tax procedure as G/L accounts to be used?
Thank you in advance for your help
Best regards
Pascal

Hi Pascal,
- the same tax code D1 with different tax rules (rate and G/L account) depending on the reporting country?
Tax codes are unique per country.
The tax rate calculation rules and further features are stored in a table for each tax code.Therefore i dont think you can maintain same tax code for different countries with different  tax rules.
-different tax codes using the same conditions but having different accounts depending on the reporting country?
As the previous is impossible your next query too is not possible.(Anyway account assignment is done by Chart of Accounts not by Country)
Regards
Andrew

  • Plants abroad: Customizing for stock transfer between plants, EC Sales list

    Hello,
    Please advice how the customizing for tax codes (output and input tax) should be done in order to get the SJ documents (stock transfer proformas) listed correctly in EC Sales list. Now the SJ documents are listed correctly in VAT report (S_ALR_87012357) but are not listed at all in EC Sales list (S_ALR_87012400) - and the correct situation is when they are listed in both reports (the amounts should correspond with each other). The main question is how to set up correctly the EU code (values 1, 3 or 9) in the tax code settings for three tax codes below:
    1. output tax of departure country
    2. output tax of recipient country (destination ctry) and
    3. input tax of recipient country
    Pls note that 2 and 3 together form the acquisition tax of the destination country.
    Above three tax codes are now listed in VAT report but not listed in EC Sales list for departure country at all. SJ document should be listed in EC Sales list using the reporting country = departure country.
    Any valuable advices warmly welcomed,
    Kind regards,

  • RFUMSV00 currency conversion with plants abroad

    I have plants abroad activated and wish to use execute the abap in the currency of the tax return by setting the nat. currency instead of local currency flag. My question is which currency exchange type does it use to execute this and which date does it use for the currency conversion. Is there an OSS or implemenation link which explains this
    thanks for any help

    Hello,
    Please have a look at note 175141. The reporting of the tax advance
    with RFUMSV00 is done in Local Currency. Amounts in Second or Third
    Currency do not play a role. Also: The transaction currency and the
    exchange rate are used during posting to determine the amounts in Local
    Currency
    Exceptions are when the 'Plants Abroad' configuration is used.
    => selection button 'National Currency Instead of Local Currency'.
    Please review also notes 1055835 and 1026865 in case of
    specific country.
    Hope this helps,
    regards

  • Plant abroad - when use tax indicator? Two reporting countries one invoice

    Hi!
    My customers has its head office (company code) in Sweden. It has plants abroad and we have activated this function. Now the sellers in Sweden have been on business trip in both Sweden and in Australia (where we have plant abroad). They have used their master card and now the invoice from the bank has arrived and my customer wonders what tax indicators should be used when posting the invoice (with travel costs both in Sweden and Australia). My questions are:
    -Should we use only swedish tax indicators (rep. country Sweden) on all costs on the invoice, both from Sweden and from Australia? Or should I use different tax indicators, since the customer is VAT registered in both countries?
    -Does plant abroad only regards shipping material to and from the plant in Australia? Or can other costs that appears when having travelling costs within the country also be reprted with Australian tax indicators (reporting country Australia)? If it it so, how can I post an invoice with tax indicators with different reporting countries in one transaction in  fb60?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello,

  • Incorrect VAT determination in plants abroad

    Hi Experts,
    I have problem regarding VAT determination in plants abroad documents. WIA 1/2/3 condition records are in placed, CTC and MTC are correct but in the intra EU acquisition is not being determined.
    I checked the Pricing Analysis in billing document and based on my investigation system is getting wrong tax category. For example, in the customer master there are two tax category; LCFR and MWST. System is looking for LCFR with tax classification (0 – do not check license) but it should pick MWST with tax classification (1 – Liable/Established) instead.
    My question is how tax category is being determined in the transfer of own goods?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Plants Abroad set up for consignment fill up

    Hi,
    We have scenario for Plants Abroad. There will be Consignment fill up process within EU from country to other.
    There is need for VAT posting in Proforma Invoice for Consignment Fill up.
    I would appriciate if any one let me know how Pricing can be set up,Will that tax posting (if we take MWST condition type) will be nullify with another tax condition.
    Is there any documents or white paper avaialable for Plants Abroad -Consignment Fill up scenario for Pricing set up.
    Looking forward for response asap.Thanks.

    Hi Akshay
    You can use consignment process as available in Std SAP. If u dont want to VAT postings to be updated till material  is sold then u can have different account key and can post tax amount to intermediate account such as VAT  payable and then at the time of consignment issue u can have different account key and can update actual tax account .
    consult with your FI collegue ,this is process generally followed in stock transfer but u can modify it to use for your consigment posting.
    revert if u want to discuss further

  • Stock Transport in Plants Abroad and Tax Reporting

    Hello,
    We have Plants Abroad and we need to account stock transports between
    our plants abroad. We have defined a billing document type for
    determining taxes for plants that are abroad, so it appears on Tax
    Report and EC Sales List. The issue is that, although the customer
    name appears on the billing document, as the stock transport is between
    plants of the same society, it does not appear on the accounting
    document. So it does not appear on the Tax Report or EC Sales List
    neither and this field is necessary for the reporting (but the CIF number appears correctly).
    Can anyone help me in this issue?
    Thank you,
    Silvia

    Hi Silvia
    If my understanding is correct, you need to generate a report wherein it should show abroad plant wise items sent and quantity.
    For this, the material movement should have been 631 and to track the despatch details, goto MB51 and give the movement type in the "Movement Type" field and execute.

  • Plants abroad doc curr = LC no input of tax currency possible

    Hi
    we frequently use the plant abroad function with VAT return in various
    loactions but now have a problem in following constellation.
    Company code is in Spain (Local currency EUR)
    Plant is in GB with VAT return in GBP.
    Invoices are in EUR
    Function: Change Foreign currency translation is on 1 "Manual exchange
    rate entry possible"
    Problem:
    When we register invoices with MIRO or FB60 in EUR for GB the field tax
    exchange rate does not pop up to have the exact VAT amounts as in the
    invoice in GBP is translated. (As document currency = company code
    currency)
    Did anybody of you have a similar problem and was able to solve it? Is it a missing function of SAP or did i miss a customizing step.
    Thanks for your help
    Cheers
    Tim
    Checked OSS notes that did not help:
    730466 - Legal requirement: Translate tax base with tax rate

    Hi
    Did you maintain a specific Exchange rate type (i.e. M) in the country setting
    General Setting > Set Countries > Define countries in R/3 Systems > Exchange rate type under Properties.
    Assign Exchange rate type, for example, M(Daily Transactional Rate) to Country, in your case GB. This is required to facilitate the Plant abroad posting to report GB VAT posting for the company code in Spain.
    Hope that this helps
    Cheers

  • S_ARL_87012357 when using plants abroad

    Dear SAP experts,
    when I activate plants abroad functionality, I have a company code in CH with plant abroad in BE. I created a PO to a German external supplier and used my plant abroad in BE as the receiving plant. All went well.
    However when running VAT return report S_ARL_87012357 with reporting country BE, so the country of my plant abroad, the report shows the VAT registration of the company code country and not the VAT Registration that the Swiss company has in reporting country BE where I created my transactions. Tax codes are correct. What do I need to change in the system to display the correct VAT Registration?
    Thanks a million for any help.
    Kind regards, Maria

    If I don't want any data / network charges when using my 5800XM abroad for Ovi maps, do I just make sure that only "Integrated GPS" is selected in Positioning Methods ? 
    You are correct in your assertion. The WiFi/Network positioning method introduced in OVI Maps v3.04 is Nokia's interpretation of the similar Maps Booster application which utilises the Skyhook network where WLAN access point is logged geographically. Essentially the more users whom add data the more accurate the system becomes.
    You can of course use "Roaming warning" in OVI Maps here:

  • Plants abroad - WIA billing document

    Hello,
    I have customized plants abroad as explain in note 506588, but when I try to bill the delivery document to obtain the WIA billing document, the system displays an error saying that the document is not relevant for billing.
    The billing relevance of the item type used in the
    delivery document is "Relevant for deliveries across EU countries". The plants used in the process flow are from Spain and from Denmark, so we need the billing document for the EU report in both countries.
    The used flow is the following
    Purchasign order: UB
    Delivery document: NL
    Sales document: NL
    Item category: NLN
    Billing document: WIA
    Plants abroad are activated and the VAT Registration Number for Plants Abroad is entered. Does anyone know why the delivery is not relevant for billing if the item category is marked as relevant?
    Thanks in advance, best regards.

    Hi
    Can you let me know ,
    Is it the triangular deal you are speaking
    Because from your flow , I could not see any delivery against the sales order.
    Can you let me know .
    Hope to help you.

  • Foreign currency in Plant abroad reporting

    Dear SAP gurus,
    our customer activated a plant abroad in GBP local currency different from company code local currency (that is EUR).
    If a outgoing invoice (= customer invoice) is issued and posted in EUR for our plant abroad, VAT report enables to produce output in GBP currency. GBP amount is calculated according to historical exchange rate. In BSET table this information are stored in fields BSET-LWSTE and BSET-LWBAS
    This is OK fou our customer, but they have an addttional request on customer line item report (SAP transaction FBL5N).
    The request we have been asked is: is it possible to display in FBL5N layout also BSET-LWSTE and BSET-LWBAS columns?
    Otherwise how can these information, that is amount in plant abroad currency, be displayed in line items report?
    Is There any standard line item report that allow user to display this information?
    We're looking forward for your answer
    Thank you in advance
    Kind regards

  • Subcontracting and plants abroad

    Dear all,
    I am facing the following problem:
    My customer are using plant abroad functionality. They are VAT registered and have plants in almost all contries within European Union. The will start using subcontracting functionality in SAP and they have the following flow:
    Material A and  B in plant 1107 in HUngary (where we are VAT registedred) are sent to subcontracting vendor in Netherlands. The subcontractor are creating material C out of material A and B and are sending material C to our plant 1107 in Austria (where we also are VAT registered). How is this flow handled from a plant abroad perspective?
    IN plant 1107 in Austria we will receive an invoice from subcontracting vendor and will use tax indicator for reverse charge (input and output EC VAT posted in the same time when registering the invoice) but how do we handle when sending material A and B to subcontracting vendor? I suppose this should be reported as 0 % EC output VAT in Hungary but how can this be made? We are not having any WIA invoice?
    Best regards, Åsa

    hi Sunil,
    "1. Create a Belgian plant as Plant abroad. That will change a lot. Can anyone answer what exactly? Will we be able to use MWST condition?"
    ==> I wonder if it would work the way you want to... but it is very difficult to tell without trying...
    "2. Use 2 tax procedures for US company code. TAXUS and TAXBE. Is this posible using any config?"
    ==> this is definetly not possible
    What I would do is to create a separate company code and assign the belgian tax processes to it. If it is not a separate legal entity you have to set up some cross-company processes.
    hope this helps
