Customizing Your PDF with the Transparency Information Required by the Argentinean Tax Authority

[JoaoPedroBraunAgnes]

Hello! 
 
If you carry out sales, work placements or provision of services to final consumers in Argentina using print character B, according to resolution 5614, as of January 1st, 2025, you must indicate the final amount that the final consumer must pay in the publication of the prices of the respective goods or services.

According to the tax authority, this information is displayed in a new box containing the following information:  

Title	Description
Régimen de Transparencia Fiscal al Consumidor (Ley 27.743)	Fixed title
IVA Contenido $/USD	Total VAT of the document in document currency (use the symbol $ for local currency or ISO currency code for foreign currencies like USD).   In case you have more than one VAT rate in the document, this line should show the summarization of all IVA amounts.
Otros Impuestos Nacionales Indirectos $/USD	Total of other national taxes (not VAT), for example Internal tax (use the symbol $ for local currency or ISO currency code for foreign currencies like USD). In SAP, we have identified this kind of tax as “internal tax”

Note that Otros Impuestos Nacionales Indirectos are not applied to all companies. For more information, see Transparencia fiscal: ARCA reglamenta el régimen que obliga a discriminar el IVA en las facturas and Resolución General 5614/2024. 

With this blog post, we will guide you with examples on how to comply with this legal change if you use PDF forms in the eDocument Cockpit for Argentina with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.  

Please note that the steps mentioned are suggestions, indications, and examples. You may use your own logic if what is provided does not apply to your needs. 

Prerequisites:

You have Adobe LiveCycle Designer on your computer and know how to design forms with this tool. 

You have assigned the Extensibility (SAP_CORE_BC_EXT) authorization role for your user. 

Procedure:

1. Access the Maintain Form Templates app. 
2. Go to the Predelivered Templates tab and search for the following PDF form: 

   Document Type:	Print Char A, B, E
   Form Template Name:	EDO_AR_PRINT
   Data Source:	EDOC_AR_PRINT_SRV_03

3. Open the form template and select Download. 
4. Extract the downloaded ZIP file and open the .xdp file in the Adobe Livecycle Desginer. 
5. In the Adobe LifeCycle Designer, choose the Master Pages tab.  
6. From the Object Library, insert a Text Field to give the table its title, Régimen de Transparencia Fiscal al Consumidor. 
7. From the Object Library, insert a table to your form by selecting Table. 
8. Create a simple table with 2 columns and 2 rows. 
   
9. Name the rows by double-clicking a cell. Consider the required texts, as follows:
   
   • First row: IVA Contenido 
   • Second row: Otros Impuestos Nacionales Indirectos
     
     
10. To fill in the information for IVA Contenido, perform as follows:  

1. Double-click the respective cell and navigate from Object > Cell and set its type as Text Field.  
2. To bind the data, you have different options, choose the one that best suits your scenario.  
   

• Use Javascript logic to get your specific values.
• Choose the Binding tab and, in the Data Binding field, paste the following:  $.HEADER.VATSet.VAT[0].Amount  
  The [0] index means you are getting the first row of the referenced table. 
  

11. The value for Otros Impuestos Nacionales is already available in the Otros Tributos table. To retrieve the value, perform as follows: 

1. Double-click the respective cell and navigate from Object > Cell and set its type as Text Field.

• Choose the Binding tab and, in the Data Binding field, paste the following: $.HEADER.OTHER_TAXSet.OTHER_TAX[0].Amount  
  
  
• Use Javascript logic to get your specific values, for example:  

var description = this.resolveNode("Page1.other_taxset.item_other_tax[0].description").rawValue; 

  

if(description == 'Impto.interno ventas'){ 
  this.rawValue = this.resolveNode("Page1.other_taxset.item_other_tax[0].amount").rawValue; 
} 

12. Save your changes. 
13. Access the Maintain Form Templates app. 
14. On the Custom Templates tab, choose New. Create a custom template for your form by making the following settings:

15. Save your form template. 
16. In your configuration environment, use the search function to open the Configure Printing Form for eInvoice (103277) configuration activity and assign your custom form template to the relevant eDocument type and branch.  

You can now open the eDocument Cockpit and submit your document. The new PDF form template now contains the Régimen de Transparencia Fiscal al Consumidor (Ley 27.743) box and its information.
