UPDATE SUMMARY

This release of the ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Integration for SAP Enhanced Global version is a minor update with new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. The following are the highlights for this release:

documentation

Documents have undergone a major overhaul and update to include update of images to SAP ECC 6.0 views, rebranding of “Sabrix Integration for SAP” to “ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Integration for SAP” as well as other renaming, better organization of technical and configuration tasks, and update to overall comments and instructions.

Implementation simplification

Most code objects are now included in the ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Integration for SAP – 40 Input User Attributes transport.  This transport has been improved to provide a simplified implementation containing most of the technical objects required for the US/CA Basic Integration.

 

functional changes

Implementation simplification (INTSAP-274, 240, 233)

 

Issue:

The current technical implementation is time consuming due to manual labor and error prone.

 

Solution:

A set of transports is now provided to simplify implementations containing most of the technical objects required for the Global Enhanced Integration.

 

technical changes

SAP Java Connector support (INTSAP-217)

 

Issue:

A newer version of the SAP Java Connector (JCo) has been released.

 

Solution:

We now support up to version 3.0.8 of SAP JCo.

 

RFC_DETERMINE_JURISDITION (INTSAP-220)

 

Issue:

The jurisdiction break out structure was not returned in the RFC_DETERMINE_JURISDTION.

 

Solution:

While this didn’t have any impact on function, the input values are now returned in the output structure as well.

 

Logging File Appender (INTSAP-218)

 

Issue:

Zipped SabrixIntegrationServer.log files could not be viewed in Determination log browser.

 

Solution:

The FileAppender in the SabrixIntegrationServerLoggingConfig.xml has been changed to have an extension of SabrixIntegrationServer.%d{yyyy-MM-dd_HH}.log.zip.

 

Integration Startup Log (INTSAP-275)

 

Issue:

During start-up of Integration the tax mappings values are written out. The isCounty field was being logged instead of isCountry.

 

Solution:

The mapping has been corrected.

 

Solution Manager (INTSAP-249)

 

Issue:

The classpath in the SolutionManagerSubmit .bat and .sh file was wrong.

 

Solution:

The classpath has been corrected.
