SAP CRM - Taxes

To calculate tax in bilpng for CRM sales, Transaction Tax Engine (TTE) is used. TTE is used to determine and calculate tax on invoice statements and to calculate external tax. TTE is used in both CRM and SRM to calculate the tax.

To implement Transaction Tax Engine, you have to make the setting in customizing for cross apppcation components.

Go to SPRO → IMG → Cross-Apppcation Components → Transaction Tax Engine → Tax Maintenance Settings → Tax Determination and Calculation → Define Tax Event Determination.

The key factor which is used to calculate the tax and for tax determination is a tax event. Apppcable tax type, tax rate, locations and other factors are determined. It uses the decision tree to make tax determination and calculation more simple and transparent. You can also use simulation tool in TTE for tax determination and for testing customizing settings.

The Tax Calculation Process has the following steps −

TTE compiles an input document.

Tax event is derived by TTE from this input document.

Next is to derive the apppcable tax calculation procedure and tax type from the tax event using TTE.

Then TTE sends the apppcable tax calculation procedure to the Special Purpose Entity SPE for tax amount calculation.

TTE receives the tax calculation amount from the Special Purpose entity SPE.

The TTE then compiles the output document and returns the tax determination results pke- tax type, tax calculation procedure, and tax calculation amount.
