How to add tax condition types to my pricing procedure?

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

We are using standalone CRM 7.0 here...Business Partners, products and pricing procedures are all set up, sales scenario working without tax. Now we want to add tax portion to it. Scenario is, we want all product items that are added to a sales order get automatically 13% Canadian HST tax added to the price. How to do that?

In CRM system, there is a condition type CTX4 that is for HST. Shall we add this condition type to our pricing procedure? Or shall we add 0TTE/1TTE to the pricing procedure?

We maintained tax type, tax rate (country, tax group, tax rate id CTX4 with 13%) in configuration, but when creating a new sales order, the tax condition type does not appear on the condition list of line item. Did we miss anything in configuration?

Another point is that after we set up the user parameter trace tte to 03 and click on the 'TTE' button, system gave error and asked to check external log....does this mean we have missing technical setup? Do we need to add RFC destination for TTE to work?

Your insight is much appreciated!

Hi Leon,

the calculation type of both conditions is different. 0TTE is for net price based tax calculations, whereas the 1TTE is set up with calculation type H = Percentage (in Hundreds). So your price (gross) would already include the tax amount and you would like to deduct the tax from this price including tax.

Hi Leon,

I am not familiar with Canadian taxes, but usually you would use 0TTE or 1TTE for stand-alone CRM. The TTE customizing is in the cross-application section and there are also entries for Canada delivered by SAP.

Not sure whether it makes sense to integrate Vertex with TTE for Canadian taxes (usually this is done for US).

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your feedback. No we don't use Vertex. The Canadian tax is not that critical, all we want to implement is a fixed tax rate that gets automatically added to sales order line item price calculation. From the documentation it seems we need to add 0TTE or 1TTE to our pricing procedure but we don't know the difference between the two. Please advise.

THanks!
