#COE#DE01 - Updating Customer tax classification and Tax Code description

[aramaisa]

Dear Team

Happy 2022!!

I need confirmation please.

There's a SAP standard customer tax classifications as per below. Is this list just the master data with no backend configuration? or there's a config that will cause and error if for example the SAP customers rename one , 5 - Domestic IC(BE/NL) to A Statement and use it additionally to the usual 0 and 1 tax classification?

And the Tax Codes if there's that hasn't been used can it be renamed and repurposed?

Thank you

To answer your questions,

Is this list just the master data with no backend configuration?

- These values are added in the backend configuration table and to be used as master data in the customer master record.

there's a config that will cause and error if for example the SAP customers rename one , 5 - Domestic IC(BE/NL) to A Statement and use it additionally to the usual 0 and 1 tax classification?

- Normally what SAP provided as a standard, as a good practice, will not be changed. If there is a need for a new description by the business, then a new tax classification code can be added.

And the Tax Codes if there's that hasn't been used can it be renamed and repurposed?

- Technically this can be renamed and repurposed. The system will allow it. But as mentioned before, as a good practice, a new code is created to handle any new requirement.
