Tata Reddy

Hi,
Pls dont go for this type beacause User's familiar with one procedure if u r changing TAXINJ to TAXINN they are feeling very bad beacause for maintaining Condition records is different in TAXINJ and TAXINN.
In my personal opinion as a enduserwise TAXINJ is verry usefull u have to maintain records all in J1ID and Rates in FTXP,But TAXINN tax code is Dummy,all rates u have to maintain in FV11.
So for Traning to user tob maintain Condion records in FV11 is most difficult.and then if GVT changes Rates then u can't change records in one shot,u have to change one by one.i got experience for this changing .
If this is usefull pls award points.

Convert Taxinj to Taxinn

Hi Sap Gurus
What should be steps taken to convert Procedures from
Taxinj to Taxinn.
Tell me detial please.
Rgds
kamat.

hi
till R3 versions TAXINJ is advisabel and for ECC versions TAXINN is advisable
TAXINJ is formula based TAX Calculation Procedure for INDIA and is the most predominantly used Procedure in India, WHILE TAXINN is condition based TAX Calculation procedure, except for a handful of companies, others haven't opted for TAXINN.
TAXINN minimises the use of ABAP routines.
Only a few companies are using TAXINN right now. However with the advent of New Dimension products of SAP which use IPC, Billing and Tax Engines, it is advisable to start any impementation with TAXINN only, for future integaration. All companies which have used TAXINJ and are opting for CRM/SRM are swithching over to TAXINN, which in itself is a huge effort involved.

TAXINJ to TAXINN

Hi,
We are currently using TAXINJ procedure.
We would like to switch over to TAXINN.
Is it possible to view all the old pricing procedures with the same value after migrating into TAXINN.
Pls.share your experience.
Thanks
Regards
Rifaie.M

Dear Rafaie,
SAP doesnt recommend to change the TAX procedure once you started to use it.
If you are going for upgradation/roll out i.e. you are changing your SAP version in that case you can switch from one tax procedure to another.
As you can assign only one tax procedure to country your whole transation in TAXINJ will be on stake.

Umesh

CHANGE OVER FROM TAXINJ TO TAXINN

HI ALL ,
TAXINJ and TAXINN cannot co exist in the same system.
If you are talking about technical Upgrade, then I don't think this would be feasible since old Txn would have got posted with TAXINJ procedure with rates as defined in Tax codes and now after migration to TAXINN in same box, the system would pick value from Condition records.
Just check this basic point of feasibility before we go ahead and look for changes.
In SuN the change is for existing implementation, here at present they have R/3 4.7, and are now in the process of technical upgrade to ECC 6.00; TAXINN is required to be implemented in the upgraded version.
At present they are using around 129 pricing procedures, 25 sales org,220 tax codes in TAXINJ. Suzlon has 21 company codes, 219 plants and 1300 end users the whole nature of group activities results in use of all possible types of indirect taxes in India like VAT, CST, Excise, Service Tax etc...
i have tried to search on sap help, service market place and others but could not come across any document for the change over. However i will try again.
what are the things i need to take care before any implications busisneww point of view, what will be the status of open sales order and purchase orders, and splitting delivery docs. which are under process, what will be the cutoverstrategy.
need ur help and guidance, thanks in advance.
We are migrating from 4.7 to ECC 6.00 ( technical upgrade only), at the same time we will shift from TAXINJ to TAXINN,please let us know the steps requred to do this activity.

Hi
Vasu Sri,
I got this document from some body might help u a bit.
Condition-Based Excise Determination in MM (New)
As of SAP R/3 Enterprise Core 4.70 (SAP_APPL 470), the system can calculate excise duties
and sales tax in Materials Management (MM) using the standard condition technique.
SAP has enhanced the existing tax procedure, TAXINJ, so that it now supports formula-based
and condition-based excise determination. The R/3 System also comes with a new tax procedure,
TAXINN, which only handles condition-based excise determination.
Which Tax Procedure Must I Use?
Existing customers must continue to work using the same tax procedure.
If you switch to a new tax procedure, you cannot display any documents that you have already
posted using the old tax procedure.
If you have worked with formula-based excise determination in previous releases and wish to
continue, you do not have to do anything. However, if you wish to start using the
condition-based excise determination method, proceed as specified below.
We recommend that new customers use the condition-based excise determination and tax
procedure TAXINN.
<b>How Do the New Functions Work?</b>
First, customize the system in the activities listed below. Then, for each material, create one
condition record for each form of excise duty and sales tax that applies, and enter the tax code
for purchasing documents (see below) in every condition record.
When you come to create a purchase order, enter the tax code in each line item. The tax code
tells the system whether to look in the condition types for formula-based or condition-based
excise determination
To set up the new excise determination method, carry out the following activities:
IMG activity
What to do
Check Calculation Procedure
Existing customers: Adjust your tax procedure to
match the changes to TAXINJ. Steps 560-583 are new, as are 593-598.
New customers: Create a copy of TAXINN.
Select Tax Calculation Procedure
New customers only: Assign the copy of
TAXINN to India.
Maintain Excise Defaults
New customers only: Enter the condition type
that you use for countervailing duty.
Define Tax Code for Purchasing Documents
Define a tax code.
Assign Tax Code to Company Codes
Assign the tax code to the company codes that it
is relevant for.
Classify Condition Types
Specify which condition types you want to use
for condition-based excise determination.
Define Tax Accounts
Check which G/L accounts the various taxes will
be posted to. Define G/L accounts for the account keys used in the tax procedure

16.1 Country Version India in Standard R/3 System
Verwendung
As of SAP R/3 Enterprise Core 4.70 (SAP_APPL 470), Country Version India is no longer
delivered as an add-on but as part of the standard R/3 System.
Integration of functions in the SAP Easy Access menu
The functions for withholding tax have been integrated into the SAP Easy Access menu, under
Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Payable -> Withholding Tax ->
India and Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Accounts Receivable -> Withholding
Tax -> India.
You can access all other functions using the area menu J1ILN, which you can call from the
SAP Easy Access screen using the transaction code J1ILN.
Country Version India Implementation Guide
The Country Version India Implementation Guide (IMG) has been integrated into the standard
Reference IMG (see Changes to Structures for Country Version India).
Release Notes
You can access release notes from previous add-on releases using the links below.

16.2 Condition-Based Tax Calculation (New)
Verwendung
As of SAP R/3 Enterprise Core 4.70 (SAP_APPL 470), a new method for calculating taxes
in Brazil is available, which makes use of the standard condition technique. Tax rates, tax laws,
and special indicators that influence whether tax line items are included in the nota fiscal are all
stored in the system as condition records. An additional tax calculation procedure, TAXBRC, is
delivered for this new method, in addition to the existing one for Brazil, TAXBRJ.
Auswirkungen auf den Datenbestand
You can continue to calculate taxes using the former method: when the system processes the tax
procedure assigned to the country (TAXBRJ), it calculates the taxes externally by calling
function module J_1BCALCULATE_TAXES. We do, however, recommend that you assign the
new procedure TAXBRC and use the condition-based tax calculation functions, as it enables you
to flexibly adapt the tax calculation logic to cover new legal requirements or special customer
needs.
You will need to migrate your existing tax rate table entries to condition records, which you
can do directly from the Tax Manager's Workplace described below. You can check all tables
and subsequently convert the entries, whereby the system generates condition records. After the
initial migration, each time you create or change a tax rate table entry, the system automatically
generates a condition record as needed.
Auswirkungen auf das Customizing
If you want to employ the new condition-based tax calculation, you need to activate it and
carry out all related Customizing activities, under Financial Accounting -> Financial
Accounting Global Settings -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Basic Settings -> Brazil
-> Condition-Based Tax Calculation, all of which are new:
o
Activate Condition-Based Tax Calculation
o
Map MM Tax Values to Nota Fiscal Fields
o
Map SD Tax Values to Nota Fiscal Fields
o
Map MM Tax Laws to Nota Fiscal Fields
o
Define Internal Codes for Tax Conditions
o
Assign Internal Codes for Tax Conditions to Condtion Types
o
Assign Tax Rate Tables to Condition Tables
In addition, you need to assign the new tax calculation procedure TAXBRC to the country in
Customizing, under Financial Accounting -> Financial Accounting Global Settings ->
Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Basic Settings -> Assign Country to Calculation Procedure.
A new Customizing tool called the Tax Manager's Workplace is available that enables you to
SAP AG

SAP-System
Page 10
make all tax-related settings for Brazil. You access it under the same path as above through
Tax on Sales/Purchases, then Calculation -> Settings for Tax Calculation in Brazil ->
Access Tax Manager's Workplace, or alternatively by entering transaction J1BTAX. You can
use the Tax Manager's Workplace regardless if you use condition-based tax calculation; it
simply brings all tax activities to a single transaction (only the Migration, Nota-Fiscal Mapping,
and Condition Mapping options under the Condition Setup pulldown menu are relevant only for
condition-based tax calculation).
16.3 Changes to Structures for Country Version India
Verwendung
As of SAP R/3 4.7, Country Version India is no longer delivered as an add-on, but forms part
of the standard system.
SAP has discontinued the Country Version India Implementation Guide (IMG) and has added its
activities have been added to the standard Reference IMG as follows:
Activities relating to withholding tax are now located in Customizing for Financial
Accounting (FI), under Financial Accounting Global Settings -> Withholding Tax.
Activities relating to excise duty and excise invoices are in Customizing for Logistics -
General, under Tax on Goods Movements -> India.
As far as the activities under Preparatory Activities are concerned, two of them (Activate
Country Version India for Accounting Interface and Activate Processes) are no longer
relevant and have been removed from the IMG entirely. The activity Execute Country
Installation Program is already included in the standard IMG under the name Localize Sample
Organizational Units. And the other two activities (Activate Country Version India for Specific
Fiscal Years and Activate Business Transaction Events) have been added to the standard IMG.
For information about other changes to the IMG relating to changes in the functions in Country
Version India, see the other release notes.

When you are switching fron TAXINJ to TAXINN, WRT Tax Codes, it is recommended to maintain new Tax Codes for TAXINN, as TAXINJ follows formula based calculation & TAXINN follows Condirtion based calculation.

Hi Ravi
Thanx again. It was helpful. I really want to know the answers for these three questions.
1. Is it possible to migrate from TAXINJ to TAXINN during the middle of the year, or is there any restriction, that it has to be done only during the start of the fiscal year.
2. Is it possible to see the data, once we have migrated from TAXINJ to TAXINN (i.e. data in TAXINJ)
3. what are the difficulties that would be there while migrating from TAXINJ to TAXINN.
Please let me know

Migration of Tax calculation procedure---TAXINJ to TAXINN

Hi Gurus,
Currently we are doing technical upgrade from 4.7 to Ecc 6.0.
Considering benefits and advantages of TAXINN procedure,we want to migrate from TAXINJ to TAXINN so that it will also support CRM.
Kindly help me about the roadmap and guide for the migration.
Regards,
Krishna

Mr. Krishna,
changing from TAXINJ to TAXINN is not simple, as such SAP also has no guide for it.
We tried doing it in one of our upgrades from 4.6B to ECC 6.0 (for a Chemical MFG company in 2008) but SAP said they have no guide lines / notes available for this.
TAXINJ will also support CRM, and SAP will support TAXINJ procedure as long as the client is with the current SAP version.
This is what they told us. And it is logically correct, because when we change tax procedure, we should take care of 4 big things.
1. Open PO update after tax procedure change
2. Open SO update after tax procedure change
3. Change account determination
4. Create new condition records
And more over, we will have to create all access sequences againa and maintian the master data.
It is a risky item... although not impossible. As far as I know and I came to know from SAP, no client who has upgraded has migrated the tax procedure.
For more details contact SAP Helpdesk and put your query.
Thanks & regards

Migration from TAXINN to TAXINJ

Hello Experts,
My client is currently using TAXINN procedure. Now they are planning to migrate to TAXINJ Procedure.
I would be very helpful if you can guide me to let me know the effects of changing tax procedure to TAXINJ from SD and MM perspective.
This is an urgent requirement. Please let me know your inputs.
Thanks and regards
AB

In one of my earlier projects, a similar requirement came from client (TAXINJ to TAXINN) and when I checked with SAP, following are their comments:-
Please kindly note that changing over from TAXINJ to TAXINN is not recommended unless you are going in for a complete reimplementation & not just a technical upgrade.
They have also confirmed that there is no specific note on this process.
So in your case, if it is not complete reimplementation, then you should caution your client.

TAXINN/TAXINJ

Hello
What is the advantage of TAXINN over TAXINJ???
Why SAP has recommended to use TAXINN?
Reagrds
Ashish

Hi,
Taxinj - Supports Both formula based and condition based,
Taxinn - Supports only formula based.If you use TAXINN condition based , every thing works on Condition Techniques, You have more flexibility.
Before CIN version 4.0 Only TAXINJ is used. TAXINN cannot be supported in old versions.
SAP recommends TAXINN condition based procedure, as it is more flexible for any kind of changes, When a new tax is introduced, just create new condition type and incorporate the same in TAXprocedure , maintain condition record for new tax condition type.
Only Two taxcodes are sufficient for TAXINN
If we use TAXINJ, so many tax codes are required for each kind of combination
Hope this clarifies,For any further clarification please revert.
Thanks & Regards,
Sridhar

Taxinn Procedure

Hi all,
We are using taxinn procedure to calculate the taxes.
How can anybody justify the selection of Taxinn , when there are hundreds of vendors , materials and in Taxinn then we have to maintain so many records in FV11.Why should we use it then?
Why not Taxinj?Any advantage of using taxinn over Taxinj?
Please explain.
Regards,
Deepiks

Hi Deepika,
SAP has provided us two tax calculation procedure for India
1. TAXINN
2. TAXINJ
In older versions TAXINJ was used moreover but now days TAXINN is used coz in TAXINJ maintaining all excise related data of vendor/Material/Plant/Customer and tax rate maintenence was more laborious as compared to TAXINN. I am telling you from my experience that TAXINN is far more versatile than TAXINJ.
Now coming to your second query
when there are hundreds of vendors , materials and in Taxinn then we have to maintain so many records in FV11
See while maintaining tax rates in relative condition type you can use one table for tax classification and put in your access sequence it will reduce your vendor/material combinations.As it will be applicable to all kind of purchases.
I hope you must have gotten some solution of your problem
Regards
Vivek Sharma
Rate my answer as you wish

CIN - TAXINN and TAXINJ

Why should we go for TAXINN, what are the advantagous of TAXINN over TAXINN
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
TAXINJ is Routine based based PRICING PROCEDURE and we have to define the Routine/Requirement for our requirement and assign to each condition type in that pricing procedure
Here we have to define Routines with the Help of ABAPers. Till 4.7 version this pricing procedure is used
From 4.7 Onwards, SAP came with TAXINN pricing procedure which is condition records based pricing procedure for whcih we can just maintain the condition records which are very flexible.
Here we can have condition records based on the access sequence which are flexible and can be used in different scenarios.
This is the Main Advantage of TAXINN over TAXINJ.
Hope you got it.

Field of vertical lines all over Macbook Pro screen? (+ freezes, beeps)

Hello, everyone.
Here's my sitch: my MacBook Pro has really been acting out in terms of freezing with fields of vertical lines. Sometimes the screen will revert back to be free of the lines but remains unresponsive OR it shuts itself down and beeps. Sometimes it fails to wake up after sleep and when I attempt to power it on, it beeps. I took my Mac to a service provider and thinking it was a RAM problem, we ordered and put in new RAM. The problem persisted and then the logic board got replaced. Everything was seemingly fine and in working order when one day a kernel panic occurred and everything was happening all over again. I just brought it back to the service provider and we re-installed my original RAM that came with the Mac. It worked fine at first, but then the RAM beeps occurred again as well as the field of vertical lines that halt the whole system. At this point I'm simply confused at what could be the problem, as the Apple Hardware Test detected "no problem found," the PRAM/SMC have been reset, it booted up completely fine in safe mode, and I've run Disk Utility on Command + Recovery. The Apple Diagnostics tag also says that everything seems to be OK, but what could be the root of this problem??
Does anyone have any insight or suggestions on this? If so, please let me know. Needless to say, I'm tired of dealing with Mac issues when I really need it for schoolwork and such. (Sidenote: I also no longer have a warranty and for my logic board I got it replaced via an Apple Customer Care Code). Anyhow, many thanks in advance to anyone who might have some input on the matter!
PS. This is what it looks like. These pictures are from two separate occasions whereby the Mac froze and these distorted fields of vertical lines popped up.

Since it was an intermittent issue with mine I took videos/pictures of whenever my laptop locked up. I then showed them to the genius when I took it into the Apple Store. After explaining my situation to them they agreed that it was an unusual problem and replaced my logic board out of warranty for free. I would suggest doing the same but the situation and circumstances may vary so they may not offer the same to you. However, it does not hurt to try.
Also, as I mentioned to mchanxo Apple does offer a flat fee of $280 to replace any hardware that is going bad including the logic board. That could be another option but my concern with that is if it only applies to hardware that does not pass the Apple Hardware Test.
Another thing to note is that the genius told me that the in-store Apple Hardware Test does not test to see if the ram slots are going bad. He said the only way to test it is to put the good RAM in each slots and see if the laptop functions correctly. He also noted that if you do install new RAM you need to reformat your laptop to factory settings because the "OS originally sat on bad memory." I am not too computer savvy so I cannot confirm the validity of his statement but it is worth trying.
Hope this helps.

Unable to capture audio from BlackMagic HD Extreme via Voice Over tool

Hi !
I'm trying to capture audio via my BlackMagic HD Extrem card using the Voice Over tool in FCP6, but I can't, no audio is incoming.
I can ingest audio with video using log and capture, then I know my card and my cables are working.
I tried to set the BM card as audio input in my Audio's System Prefereces Pane, but it isn't working either.
I've been looking on the BM website, but I found nothing.
Can you help me ?
Thx

Thanks for the reply.
Looking at system preferences I found that audio input was set microphone. Don't know how it happened. I switched it to DeckLink and now FCP displays 16 input channels in Log and Capture dialog. I didn't try to capture yet but I think it solved the problem, because before I had only two channels displyed.
