Hello Friends,

Can you please guide me through the settings i need to make for tax calculation using taxware in SRM 7.0 ECS.

we are moving from classic to ECS . what would be the best practice for the tax calculation? can we directly integrate taxware to SRM or do we have to go through R/3. Please share your valuable suggestions

Thanks

Hello.

The Tax system can only be directly connected with a FI system - hence the ECC system.

You cannot directly connect Taxware/Vertex directly to SRM.

Hi deepusrm7,

We just recently have been doing the same scenario as yourself. We are moving from Classic Scenario to Extended Classic. Our ERP system uses VERTEX for calculating tax and determination of the tax jurisdiction code on the delivery address as well as the vendor address with holds the from tax jurisdiction.

From what I understand so far you have to have at least theVertex system connected to the ERP system so that when you setup the vendor masters, plants and storage addresses that they will get the tax jurisdiction from Vertex.

You need the SRM system connected to Vertex in the case you want to calculate the tax on the shopping cart and local ECS purchase order. I think it may even default the tax jurisdiction on the delivery addresses when you set them up but I haven't tested this just yet.

I hope this information helps. If you need configuration information I have that just let me know.

Hi Paul,

Appreciate your response. Our backend is currently connected to TAXWARE and the customer wants to trigger the tax determination in backend(connected to TAXWARE) from SRM ECS instead of connecting the SRM system directly to TAXWARE.

did you ever come across this kind of scenario? how difficult is to do a setup like this? can you please share the info you have . you can send it to pradeepwsu(gmail)

Thanks in advance

Hi Deepu,

We finally got Vertex working with SRM. You were correct actually, we just used the exisiting connection in the ERP system to vertex. The only change I had to make on the SRM side was to activate a BADI so we could use the tax jurisdiction code coming from the storage location address and not the company code address. Once we fixed the tax jurisdication issue it is now calculating the tax in both the shopping cart and the local srm purchase order. (we are using Extended Classic)

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your response. It's good to hear that you have used the existing setup for tax calculation from backend itself. Can you please share some info like how is the tax code determined in the system and what are the badi's/bapi's that could be used during the tax calculation. do you have any user-exits used in your backend system for tax today?

regards
