Region in the Plant - Any impact?

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

I'm almost certain about this, but I would like to confirm this so that i don't mess up with the system

The "Region" in the plant address was wrongly maintained few years ago as 11 instead of 01. If we change this to 01, will there be any impact on any module side?

From SD point of view, I knew it will have impact on the Tax condition records as this is one of the field in the access. But except this, I do not think there will be any impact on MM, FI and CO reporting side. Am I correct?

Any inputs?

Hi

As you already aware thet Region has very important role in determining the Tax, so changing it will sure create an issue.

However I feel that you can do that but must take some precautions, like :-

1. Close all the transactions which are in process (Like open Order, Open Deliver, Invoice)

2. Discuss withh other module so that they must also do the same for their open transaction.

3. Check with your client, as changing the Region will have an effect on Taxes and Auditor may ask the reason since the transactions which are already posted may have wrong tax and wrong region.

4. Maintain the Tax records with new region.

Thanks and regards,

Other Than SD Tax Condition Records, I don't see any impact of Plant's Regoin change in any modules.

Only thing you need to check is Excise / Sales Tax Reports. If Region of Plant is used somewhere in reports, then there could be some impact.

Rest all Excise Settings are based on Plant code & not on Region of the Plant.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,
