Maintain Determination of Value-Added Tax Registration Number

[SAPSupport]

Dear Team,

When creating a sales order, my client wants that the taxe applicated should be the one of the sold-to party and not the ship to party if they are different. 

I updated the activity "Maintain Determination of Value-Added Tax Registration Number" by adding the letter A for the sales organization. I also read the sap note 872449.

I did my test with an italian customer which has a french ship to party. The tax applicated is the one of the french partner and not the italian despite the update of the activity. 

How can I make the tax determination be the one of the sold to party ? 

Regards.

Hello Customer,

As stated in our Public Cloud KBA 0003275376 - TTX1 for export is not determined - S/4HANA Cloud (pretty similar to the note you read from on premise): SAP system will always first check the destination country and then searches for a VAT registration number in this destination country. If there are others VAT registration numbers maintained in the customer master for different countries, system will checked if the tax destination country does not equal the partner country.

So, By default, SAP uses the Ship-To Party’s tax classification in this rule. You might check it here: Session > VAT ID Determination (Customer) > 3308072 - Output tax determination in sales billing - SAP S/4HANA Cloud

I would also might advise to check whether there is a BAdI sd_tax_determination released, if yes, you can write a code to override the logic, for example:

IF is_partner-partner_function = 'AG'. " AG = Sold-To
  es_tax_data-country = is_partner-country.
  es_tax_data-region = is_partner-region.
  ...
ENDIF.
