Tax determination in FI & SD systems

[Former Member]

My Client has a strange requirement where they don't want to maintain and tax data in the SD system .

They already have a SAP FI system running independently. Now this SD system is supposed to fetch tax details from the FI system whenever a Order/Invoice is created .

My questions are :-

1- Is is at all possible to get the tax data from FI system (I mean is tax data for material / company / plant / country maintained in a SAP FI system) because according to my knowledge material specific taxes won't be available in FI system.

2- If tax data is available then is there any standard SAP functionality to enable this (RFC, Webservice etc. )

Request your help for this ... Thanks a lot in advance for your time.

Hello Saju,

Thanks a lot for your reply. But I don't think you got my question correctly.

There is not third party system involved for tax calculation. Its just the SAP FI system.

Now my Question is that is the SD Tax data available in SAP FI system.

And if yes then how do i fetch that data from SAP FI system to SAP SD system.

Hi Sachin,

You mean only SAP FI/CO implemented in a separate server.

All I can think is the combination you mentioned is indirectly assigned to a tax code and tax percentage.i.e. for the sales area+ tax classification of cust, material+dest country etc..when you maintain condition records in SD, you also maintain a tax code and %age and for the tax code in FI, in tcode FTXP you need to maintain the %age... right? so just try to define the combination of sales area, cust, material tax classifications etc..to a tax code...and fetch the %age from FI system.

For this ask your ABAP consultant to develop a RFC enabled FM to recieve the tax codes and percentages--however, this requires a development in the SAP FI system as well.

The other possibility is creating an partner profile with INBOUND parameter COND_A message typepe/COND_A02 IDoc ty and the FI system should send you the tax condition records via COND_A outbound interface.

Hi sachin,

Here we are having the same case and you should maintain tax %age with tax code in ftxp.

This will resolve the issue.
