SAP Changes and Impact to ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Integration For SAP (Global Next)

  1. Company code registration numbers
    UK (GB): No impact. Based on your current mapping for registration numbers, you would be able to provide a proper set of registration numbers to Determination to make tax calculation decisions.
    Northern Ireland: If you are going with the SAP recommendation to use table T001Z (utilizing parameter XIVATN) to store the XI VAT registration numbers, you would need to create a User Exit Based Field Mapping to include this field on your XML Request. Refer to the section USER-EXIT IN FIELD MAPPER in the Install guide
  2. Customer/ Vendor registration number
    UK (GB): If you are using the standard delivered field mapping for Registrations (KNA1/LFA1 - STCD1-5), the customer/ vendor registration numbers would be populated on the XML request to Determination
    Northern Ireland: If you are going with the SAP recommendation to use fields KNA1-STCD6 and LFA1-STCD6, create a User Exit Based Field Mapping to include this field on your XML Request. Refer to the section USER-EXIT IN FIELD MAPPER in the Install guide
  3. Tax Codes
    Depending on your ERP_CODE_MAPPINGS setup in Determination, you may be required to create a new set of tax codes to account for BREXIT for assignment of tax codes and tax G/L accounts.
