User Menu configuration to work with SAP

The ONESOURCE Indirect Tax menu is accessed through the
User Menu
 (Ctrl+F10) and is only available to you if you have been granted access through your security profile to the correct user role. You will not see the ONESOURCE menu if you select on the standard SAP menu option.
The menu for ONESOURCE Indirect Tax is broken up into sub areas as shown above. Explanation of the sub menus is noted below.
Standard Setup Display Only Menu
Within the new ONESOURCE Indirect Tax menu the first section is a list of table configurations that are provided as standard setup for Integration. The tables are intentionally view only and are not changeable by the system user. However, in most of those tables a matching table is provided in the Customer Setup section of the menu, which gives the system user the ability to override or augment the configuration in the standard setup view. By segregating the standard setup from user additions and overrides we can provide better support to our users by our Professional Services and Customer Support teams. Segregating the tables will allow them to make quicker identification of problems for issue resolution. It also allows Thomson Reuters to deliver new functionality at a later point without negatively impacting customer’s configurations and setups. They also allow the system user to quickly identify their additions in a separate area.
Customer Setup and Extensions
This menu is used by the user to access the ONESOURCE configuration tables that are stored in the /IDT/ namespace of SAP. The menu is broken down further into sub areas to organize the tables by configuration area or task. A system user role may only have display access to this area however an administrator role authorization will have ability to display, change, and create depending on the table’s properties.
  • Basic Setup at Install
    : Is used by the ABAP programmer that is doing the installation of the software to set the proxy configuration pointing to the Determination calculation URL and create the number range that is needed for log entries in the system.
  • Customer Setup
    : Is used to set up the customer view of several tables that are also within the standard setup display only section. Users can override or add to the standard tables in this area.
  • Configuration Tables
    : Is used by the Tax Business Analyst and contains all of the tables that you will need to consider for configuration of your installation. All the tables you see in this section have a single view for customer input.
  • System Enhancements
    : Is used in customizing functions when or if you need to create additional advanced program enhancements to accommodate additional Integration logic that is not already part of the standard product.
Mappings
As of release 6.4.1.0 we have changed the menu to include this new section label as “Mappings”.
The Field mapping table has been upgraded to include dynamically generated internal code in order to dramatically improve processing speed and system performance. It has also been upgraded to an ALV grid type of user interface for ease of use. The Address mapping table has also undergone a change to the new UI with the ALV grid feature thus allowing both tables to consolidate under a single transaction code instead of the split for standard view and customer view. See sections below on use of the field mapping table and address mapping table that outlines this new approach.
Reports and Tools
This menu is where we will establish the transaction codes for access to specific Log reports for tax transactions as well as any specialty reports and tools that are created by ONESOURCE Indirect Tax. Other reports or functions may be added to this menu in future releases of product updates.
