To help you along the way, we've provided a few tips and tricks. Hopefully, they will shed new light on existing processes.
1. SAP delivers innovations through enhancement packages approximately every 9-12 months.
2. Customers can activate enhancement packages via the SAP NetWeaver platform, which helps isolate impacted objects and minimizes testing requirements.
3. How do you configure jurisdiction codes?
A jurisdiction code used in countries like the United States is a combination of the codes defined by 'Tax Authorities.' Up to 4 tax levels could be defined below the federal level as folows:
1. Sub city level
2. City level
3. Country level
4. State level
The tax jurisdiction codes represent the different taxing authorities to which you submit payment for taxes, for example: state, county, city etc.
In SAP you can have as many as 4 levels. Configuration is done in 2 steps:
First step:
The tax jurisdiction structure (structure of the tax code) is set up with following menu path :
IMG >financial accounting>financial accounting basic settings> tax on sales/purchases > basic settings > specify structure for tax jurisdiction code.
Alternatively you can use t-code OBCO.
This step allows you the enter the character length of your various level of hierarchy within your tax jurisdiction code structure (State 2 char, county 3, city 4, etc...).
Second step:
Configure the tax jurisdiction code using the structure defined earlier: menu path :
IMG >Financial accounting> Financial Accounting basic settings> tax on sales/purchases > basic settings > define tax jurisdiction codes.
Alternatively t-code OBCP.
Define your tax jurisdiction codes, for example: GA0000000 for Georgia, GA001000 for Georgia, Douglas County, GA001001 for Georgia, Douglas County, City of Lithia Springs.
