S_ALR_87012357 - Advance Return for Sales Tax

[Former Member]

Hey SAP Gurus,

Is it possible for me to run the report "S_ALR_87012357" for a particular Business Area - right now, the report runs at the Company Code level.

I also noticed that there is an option for "Business Place" but my country is not in the list of allowed countries to avail this feature.

Any suggestion / solution will be greatly appreciated -

Hi,

Please check whether the Business Ares in Financial Statements is activated or not in OBY6.

Even if it doesnt work, please contact an ABAPER and try using any user exit to incorporate the field in the your required report.

hope this helps..

thankyou for your prompt reply people.

@ Praisty: Business Area financial statements have been activated for our Company Code - however, there is no selection field in the report <S_ALR_87012357> to cater to business area(s). I would really prefer not deviating from SAP standards but would resort to User Exits if no alternate solution is found.

@ smuthyala: That was a one detailed reply but I still can't figure out how to go about implementing your solution. Just to let you know, we have 3 servers - 2 of which have a single business area hence run this report smoothly. The third server however has 3 Business Areas and individual execution of the report is not possible yet.

- How can "tax groups / tax code assignment" help me in this regard ( as suggested by you )

Hi Usman,

Find the below details.

Implement the attached correction instructions.

Moreover, the form for advance returns for tax on sales/purchases 2005 is different from the form in 2004:

The key figures (tax group numbers) 54, 55, 57, and 58 have been deleted.

The key figures 52, 53, 60, 73, 74, 84, 85 have been added.

These key figures are also used in the electronic advance return for tax on sales/purchases. Adapt the assignments of your tax codes to the tax group numbers using the following IMG nodes:

"Group together tax base balances"

"Group together tax balances" and

"Assign external tax group to internal tax group" (texts).

You can obtain the nodes using Transaction SPRO, "SAP Customizing Implementation Guide" --> "Financial Accounting" --> "General Ledger Accounting" --> "Business Transactions" --> "Closing" --> "Reporting" --> "Sales/Purchases Tax Returns". Use the tax group version "EDCL" for the electronic advance return for tax on sales/purchases.
