DRC - no data selected by "Switzerland VAT return (CH_VAT_DCL)"

[patrick_rohner]

Dear all,

We are trying to implement DRC (document reporting and compliance) in your S4HANA ON PREMISE (2022) system. From my point of view, we have completed the customizing (SPRO path Switzerland->Statutory Reportring->VAT Return->Setting up your statutory reporting), i.e. we have created a new reporting entity, assigned the report categories & org values etc. Additionally, we have completed the tax code mapping settings.

When starting the DRC dashboard, the report (Generate VAT return) is visible and can be started. The result/Document status for the selected period is "Generated Successfully". Anyhow, the XML has no content. I know that there is data in the selected period, because the standard VAT report (RFUMSV00) returns the expected document.

If I am not mistaken, one of the underlying CDS views is I_STRPTAXITEM which contains data as well.

We would like to know how we can debug the selection criteria to figure out the root cause for the missing data. Ideally, DRC would show more data other than just the company code and the date range... For whatever reason it must have excluded the relevant accounting documents. Ideally there is a report which can be used for analyses.

Any proposals?
Regards,
Patrick

Dear all,

Finally, the problem was, that we did not have the business function FIN_LOC_SRF active.
This OSS note explains the activation: https://me.sap.com/notes/0001641394

At another customer, they did not have activated the country - see view GCOV_ADV_LIC_CTR (maintain with SM31).

Regards,
Patrick

Great.

can you tell if you used the Report Definition: CH_VAT_DCL_2019_V0 standard or did you have to make an extension to use another field for the tax amount?

@dnunolm... don't know how to respond to you here.... We have used the standard report. No modifications made.

Thanks for the feedback Patrick, reviewing the configuration you described, when I double click on the business function and click on the “Display Object List” icon I open the enhancements tree and see that the “%_EI_FIN_LOC_SRF_SWITCH_CHK” attribute is inactive, although the BF is active... can you confirm if your configuration is the same, I sent a private message with a print. Thank you very much for your help!
