SAP

Taxes

Every single country and even state has its own tax laws. They are so different that when people operate their online business they may contact their local authority on tax to ensure they are calculating tax properly for their webstore. Therefore, taxes are configured in SAP for each country (Taxes: Tax Categories by Country OVK1).

While managing customer or material master records in SAP, you can determine which are tax liable and which are tax exempted.

One of the common tax scenarios is whether to show prices to the customers including sales tax or excluding.

In the Webstore Customers Overview table (/n/sanaecom/customer), use the checkbox Prices Including Tax to determine whether a customer should see product prices in the webstore including or excluding sales tax. For more information, see "Webstore Customers Overview".

Customers can see whether a product price is shown including or excluding sales tax directly on the product details page. All taxes are also triggered during basket calculation and are shown to a customer in the shopping cart.

More tax settings can be set up in the sales area data of the customer, under the Billing Documents tab. There you can specify tax liability of the customer based on the customer's country to automatically determine country-specific taxes.

It is also possible to set up Tax data under the Sales org. 1 tab in the material master data. There you can specify whether or not taxes should apply to the item upon sale.

Different condition types can be used in SAP for tax calculations. You can also customize and use those condition types which are the most suitable for managing your business. For example, the MWST condition type is used for Output tax configuration. Using this condition type you can configure domestic, export and also departure/destination country taxes.

The condition type which should be used for tax calculations in the Sana webstore must be set up in the /SANAECOM/: Pricing Calculations Sana admin table which can be accessed by calling the transaction /n/sanaecom/a_tables.
