FIORI APPS COMPATIBILITY
The Global Next 6.9.1.0 version is compatible with the following applications:
    • Apps with the type SAPGUI for HTML that support external tax systems.
    • Transactional apps supporting external tax systems.
Some transactional apps do not have the calculating tax button and therefore cannot be used with external tax systems. In these cases, SAP has proposed alternative apps to be used instead. An example is the Post Outgoing Payments app, which does not support external tax calculation. In this case, you are advised to use an SAPGUI type app or create a custom tile in the FIORI environment for the F-53 transaction.
The following Fiori apps have been supported with version Global Next 6.9.to.

Technical changes

PO Self-Assessment feature not working with Global Next offset configuration.
Issue:
Due to a bug, the offset configuration in Global Next, that facilitates Self-assessment determination in the Purchase Order process was not working as expected.
Resolution:
The issue has been resolved by fixing the code in the UNBOARD_TRAIN of class/IDT/JOURNEY_SELF_ASSESSMENT.
An ABAP dump occurs in the function module FI_TAX_DISTRIBUTE_AMOUNT when a user overrides the zero rated tax determined by ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Determination tool ( IDT ) with a non-zero tax amount in FB60.
Issue
: SAP introduced additional code via SAP NOTE: 3016863, which causes the manual tax override process to fail when IDT returns a zero tax amount in FI process.
Resolution
: In the current release, created a new journey class,/IDT/JOURNEY_FI_TAX_DISTRIBUTE, for updating the Tax Code in /IDT/AUTO_JOURNEYS (Automatically Processed Journeys).
Display Purchase Order (T-Code ME23N), the Taxes section on the line-item’s invoice tab does not display tax details.
Issue
: When a PO is created, saved and then displayed via transaction ME23N, the previously calculated taxes are not displayed on the tax screen on the line-item invoice tab.
Resolution:
A code fix has been made to obtain the calculated values from the KONV structure for each respective line item in method COLLECT_DATA_AND_CALL_DETERMIN of class/IDT/ROUTE_NON_GROUP_DOC_PUR.
Balance issue during Rebate Sales Settlement process using T-Code WB2R_SC on S/4HANA2023.
Issue:
The Rebate Sales Settlement document displays the error "Accounting Interface: Balance in Transaction Currency" during automatic settlement in S/4HANA 2023.
Resolution:
Code changes made in include /IDT/WLF_ACC_CHANGE_BEFORE_SUM to clear the local structures.
Reference Document Number in LIV is not being populated in the tax request.
Issue:
The custom field mapping for the LIV route, specifically for the XBLNR field, is not retrieving the value fromRBKP-XBLNR.
Resolution:
A code change was made in the SET_PRICING_DATA method of class/IDT/JOURNEY_HEADER_REQUEST to resolve this issue.
Tax data entries are updated incorrectly in /IDT/D_TAX_DATA table for Customer Downpayment Settlement process during Cancellation.
Issue
: An error in tax amount calculation occurred during the cancellation of the Customer Down Payment Settlement Invoice, leading to incorrect table updates and erroneous postings in the document.
Resolution
: The method ARRANGE_FI_TAX_SOLUTION in class /IDT/TRAFFIC_CONTROL was updated to read the relevant settlement document line, ensuring accurate amounts are used for calculation.
Performance issue noticed while archiving AUDIT data through ILM
Issue:
Noticed a code improvement was needed in archiving /IDT/D_AUDIT_STA table entries with SAP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM).
Resolution:
Code change made in report /IDT/AUDIT_STA_REC_WRI. Refined and split the select statement to read the data from table /IDT/D_AUDIT_STA.

Bug notes

This section lists known bugs in Current release 6.9.1.0, workarounds (if applicable) and limitations within the overall Global Next integration.
Issue:
During the Customer Down Payment settlement process, the address elements are not retrieved from the sales order specified in the line item when posting incoming down payments.
Root Cause:
When posting Customer Down Payment documents during the downpaymentsettlement process, where a sales order is specified at the line item level, the system retrieves addresses from the down payment document instead of from the associated sales orderinformation.
Resolution:
If you encounter this issue, please contact Customer Support or the Engineering team to obtain the necessary hotfix.
Issue
: Tax calculation does not give accurate results In a Service Purchase Order with multiple account assignment.
Reason
: The Global Next integration (GN) has a limitation: Service PO line numbers must be 99 or less.Exceeding this number will make the GN mix up taxes between different line items on your service purchase order due to a bug in the sub-line item(Multiple account assignment lines) numbercreation logic.
Workaround
: If the line item number exceeds more than 99 then split into multiple Purchase Orders. So that the Taxes calculated would be accurate.

Installing integration

Importing transport objects
To set up ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Integration for SAP, you'll need to import the transports provided by Thomson Reuters into your development system. All the objects are located in the Thomson Reuters Indirect Tax namespace
/IDT/
. It's important to note that these transports don't alter any customer-owned objects.
All code and objects delivered by Thomson Reuters are in the
/IDT/
namespace. The transports provided won’t directly update SAP-owned objects, user exits, or similar elements. After successfully importing the transports into your SAP system, you'll need to perform additional manual steps to add coding blocks into SAP objects to call the Thomson Reuters tax interface code.
With this release, the India transports are included with the other transports and are no longer provided separately.
This installation document assumes a fresh installation of the integration. If you received a pre-General Release version, please contact Thomson Reuters Customer Support for assistance.
If you're upgrading your system from a prior
6.X.X.X Integration version
, you need to apply an additional upgrade transport to remove objects no longer used in the new release. It's important to complete this upgrade transport first to prevent errors in the code transport.
Import the provided transports in the following order:

When generating and importing ABAP objects, it may take some time to complete. It's important to ensure that each transport is successfully imported before moving on to the next one in the list.
For a new installation, import the transports in the specified order. You don't need the upgrade transports for a new installation.
