To test the tax model

The test data is identified by the combination of:

• The logon code
• The generated sequential test number

You can test the tax model as follows:

1. In the Test Tax Model (tctax8100m000) session, select an order origin and enter the details for 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 which other data you can enter.

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

   You can optionally enter the data on the Miscellaneous tab.

   On the Expected Outcome tab, you can optionally enter values in the Expected Tax Country, the Expected Tax Code, and the Expected BP Tax Country fields to identify a particular test, especially if you save the test data for later use.

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

2. Click Save to save the data.

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

4. On the Expected Outcome tab, you can view the following resulting tax data:

   • Tax Outcome Retrieved From
     This field displays the tax method used to obtain the test result. For details, refer to Search Order Tax Defaults.
   • Tax Country
   • Own Tax Number
   • Tax Code
   • Tax Rate
   • BP Tax Country
   • Business Partners

5. On the appropriate menu of the Test Tax Model (tctax8100m000) session, you can click Tax Outcome to display more details of 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 display 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 sesisons:

   • 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 not correct, 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. If you have finished testing the tax model, you can use the Delete Test Data (tctax8200m000) session to remove the entered test data and the generated logged data from the database.
