Solution

There have been questions from customers regarding the new 3.0 function for
transporting tax codes between systems. Essentially, the new function is the
creation of tax codes in the target system based on tax codes in the source
system. Note 13528 explains that the tax codes themselves are contained in
transportable tables (T007A and T007S), but that the actual tax rates appear in
condition tables (A003, A053, KONH, KONP) that cannot be transported due to the
number assignment (KONH-KNUMH and KONP-KNUMH are sequential numbers). The
following procedure contains all the details required to successfully transport
the tax codes between systems. Please pay careful attention to each step.

PROCEDURE:

1. Before transporting the tax rates, the tax codes and, if necessary the
jurisdiction codes (eg. USA, Brazil), must be in the target systems. These
are contained in tables T007A and TTXJ (Transaction OBCP), respectively.

2. Since program RFTAXIMP in step 7 below will submit Transaction FTXP

internally in batch input mode, we recommend that you first check that
nobody else is blocking FTXP at the time RFTAXIMP is running. You can check
this using Transaction SM12, table name RSTABLE, enqueue key T007A* or
T007S* or T030K* while RFTAXIMP is running.

3. In your source system, export the tax codes you want to transport to the
target system as follows:

a) Run Transaction FTXP (Maintain Tax Code).

b) Enter the COUNTRY you want to work with -> Press ENTER.
If the country does not have jurisdiction codes, screen 101 will be
displayed with the country entered. Otherwise, screen 102 will be
displayed with the country entered and a validity date. In both cases,
all other fields are blank.

c) Execute Tax code -> Transport -> Export.

d) Create a new transport request and note its number.

e) Select the check box in front of each tax code you want to
transport.

f) Save your entries.

Note that the jurisdiction structures are not copied during the export they are
in table TTXJ and must be copied separately.

4. In your source system, search table T007V for the number of the tranport
request generated in step 3d to ensure that the marked tax codes have been
loaded.
If you don't find the corresponding entries in table T007V, refer to Note
99173.
In some cases, not all selected tax codes are included in table T007V. In
such a case, heed Note 136363.

5. Release the transport request created in step 3d using Transaction SE10

and transport the tax codes and tax rates into your target system using
program r3trans.

6. In your target system, search table T007V for the number of the tranport
request generated in step 3d to ensure that the tax rates have been
transported.
Any value in that table relating to P30 or S11 originated from the Walldorf
development systems and should be disregarded.

7. In your target system, run program RFTAXIMP with the correct transport
number. (To do that, you should use Transaction SE38 if you are using a
release lower than 4.0A. Otherwise, you can also start RFTAXIMP from
Transaction FTXP -> Tax code -> Transport -> Import. For more details, refer
to Note 95088.)
To ensure that the correct transport number is being used, view table T007V
using Transaction SE17. You can also verify that the right country has been
used. The person running RFTAXIMP must have authority to run batch programs.
If you have problem at this step, refer to Notes 38466 and 98483.

8. The success of the transporting process can be verified using Transaction

FTXA or reviewing tables A003 (without jurisdictions), A053 (with
jurisdictions), KONH and KONP using Transaction SE17.

OTHER ISSUES:

• The systems environment must be set usually to changeable (table T000) or

Transaction SCC4 (activate the 'Changes w/o automatic recording' field)
since customizing tables are being transported. To check the status of your
system, use report RDDIT097 which is accessible only by a DDIC user, or use
Transaction SCC4.
If you wish to prevent changes being made to the system, refer to Note
110970. If Note 110970 has not been implemented, and the system status is
"non-modifiable", the tax codes cannot be imported, and the system issues
error message 00347 "Field KONP-KBETR (1)2 is not an input field".

• When the tax codes are imported, the percentage rates are only added or
overwritten in the target system, but not deactivated.
For example Tax code XY, Country DE.

This missing function is provided by Note 126597.

• The user must have authorization that allow update in Transaction FTXP
(SAP_ALL).

• If you want to import the tax codes using the same effective dates as in the
source system, you will need to make the following change in program
LF82VF00. This is also covered in Note 45461. Once installed, the effective
date of the source system will always be passed to the target ystem.
Activate (remove the *) the line which reads:
PERFORM BDC_FIELD USING 'RF82T-DATAM' I-T007V-DATAM.

All of the above steps should enable you to successfully transport tax codes
between systems. If it does not, call Customer Support.
