To test the tax model

After you set up the tax registration, you can use the Test Tax Model (tctax8100m000) session to test the outcome in various situations.

You can enter multiple sets of test data, which you can save. You can repeat a specific test after you have adjusted the tax registration setup.

The test data is identified by the combination of:

  • Logon code
  • Generated sequential test number

Your logon code identifies you as the owner of the test data.

Take the following steps to test the tax model :

  1. In the Test Tax Model (tctax8100m000) session, select an order origin, and enter the details based on which you want to test the tax outcome, such as the invoice-from business partner and the buy-from country.

    The selected order origin determines the data you can enter.

    You must select a department, which determines the financial company in which you test the tax model.

    Optionally, you can enter the data on the Miscellaneous tab. You can specify values in the Expected Tax Country, Expected Tax Code, and Expected BP Tax Country fields to identify a particular test, especially if you save the test data for later use.

    You can enter a warehouse or a work center, to test the tax outcome for direct delivery and for triangular invoicing.

  2. Click Save to save the data.

  3. On the appropriate menu, click Determine Tax Data.

  4. On the Tax Outcome tab, you can view the following tax outcome details:

    • Tax Outcome Retrieved From
      This field displays the tax method used to obtain the test result.
    • Tax Country
    • Own Tax Number
    • Tax Code
    • Tax Rate
    • BP Tax Country
    • Business Partner Tax ID

  5. On the appropriate menu of the Test Tax Model (tctax8100m000) session, you can click Tax Outcome to view more details of the test result. The Tax Outcome (tctax8101m000) session starts, which displays the search order of the tax libraries. The first line displays the tax method that resulted in the tax outcome, in all capitals.

    In the Tax Outcome (tctax8101m000) session, you can double-click a tax library line to view the logged information for the tax library, for example, if the test data answered the criteria that resulted in a tax exception.

    LN displays the logged information for the tax libraries in the following sessions:

    • Logging Exception Library (by Country) (tctax8110m000)
    • Logging Exception Library (by Country Set) (tctax8111m000)
    • Logging Standard Library (tctax8120m000)
    • Logging Destination Sales Tax Library (tctax8130m000)

  6. If the tax outcome is incorrect, you can make the necessary changes in the tax registration setup and repeat the test. If you have saved your test data you can restart at Step 3.

  7. After testing the tax model, you can use the Delete Test Data (tctax8200m000) session to clear the entered test data and the logged data from the database.
