Down Payment Chain with Tax jurisdiction code active

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are in the process of reviewing the Credit side Down Payment chain fitment at a client side. Here the client is already on SAP and they have the tax jurisdiction code is active. We had referred note 937037 which says that DPC cannot ne used if the jurisdiction code is active. Would like to understand from the experts that whether there is any way we can use DPC even if we are using tax jurisdiction code.

The debit side and credit side down payment chains are currently only released for Germany and Austria (note 1021741). Therefore the functionality is limited for this purpose. SAP is investigating to release the functionality for further countries on a country by country basis with customers. It  xists the note 1674427 which checks the release restriction. After implementation of the note the user can’t create a down payment chain for a company code which is not linked to the country Germany or Austria. SAP provides the pilot note 1679235 which remove this restriction.

If you are interested to use the down payment chain, please open a OSS message under component FI-AF-DPC. Your company can be added to the pilot note.

If the down payment chain meets your business needs and fulfill the legal requirements, you can use it. In the moment we have a few customers outside of Germany and Austria which are live
with down payment chain (France, USA, Ireland, UK, Nigeria).

The down payment chain with tax jurisdiction code is provided to one customer in the US. When you have a SAP ERP with EhP5 or higher and still interested please sent me a mail (maria.miessen@sap.com). We can discuss the restrictions of this solution. One restiction is that advance payment request and posting of partial invoice as down payment request can't be used (see replay from Dec 4, 2008 10:35 AM).

FI does not allow you to post the down payment request with Tax

Jurisdiction Code.For this please refer to SAP note 97288.

Also read notes 149647 and 113347.

In FI a down payment request is considered to be a noted item on a

customer account and therefore a Down payment document cannot post a

Tax jurisdiction code.

This pertains to countries like U.S and Brazil where they use

jurisdiction code as per Legal law.

This is more of conceptual rather than country specific .
