Unit 3: SAP Document and Reporting Compliance - Prerequisites & Pre-Work

3. Frontend Server: Activate SAP UI5 Application.

The next step is to activate UI5 Application:
● Go to transaction SICF, enter Hierarchy Type "SERVICE", and execute the search.
● In the result list, search for technical name srf_rep_run_s1, which is the application name
for run statutory reports. The UI5 should be under: /default_host/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/
srf_rep_run_s1.
● Check if the service is active. If not, double-click on the service name and choose the
"Activate" button. Now, the app Run Statutory Report is also active in the frontend system.
● The technical name srf_rep_def_s1, is the service used to activate the application Define
Statutory Report, with similar steps as above.

However, for the users to see the application and work with it, you need to assign users
certain roles which will allow them to access this app from the frontend, and work with data
from the backeend. The configuration for roles and authorizations is covered in a previous
section of the training. More details about authorization topics can also be found in: App
Implementation: Run Compliance Reports.

Tax Reporting Date and Tax Fulfillment Date

Figure 44: Background: Tax Reporting Date Versus Tax Fulfillment Date

This section will explain the definition of Tax Reporting Date and Tax Fulfillment Date, as well
as their implications in statutory reporting.
Definition of Tax Reporting Date and Tax Fulfillment Date
Tax Reporting Date: The date that is used to determine if the items belong to a specific
reporting period.
The Tax Fulfillment Date: The date when the tax (for example, sales and purchases) is due to
the tax authority. When goods reach customer, or when service is rendered.
Tax Reporting Date: The date on which tax on sales and purchases is due, or the date
on which the tax must be reported to the tax authority. In most countries, these two days are
identical. However, there are certain scenarios, for example, in Hungary and Spain, where
those two days could be differently determined. That is where the concept of tax fulfillment
date came in.
The Tax Fulfillment Date: The date on which the tax is due to the tax authorities. It is
determined by when goods are delivered to the customer, or when services are rendered to
