DAS 2 reporting

The DAS 2 report serves to report all payments made to third party suppliers during a fiscal year, irrespective of whether the suppliers are domestic or foreign. In some countries, such as in France, you must submit the report to the government annually.

The DAS 2 report must include all normal payments, assignments, and settlements through sales invoices. Unassigned amounts of advance/unallocated payments must also be reported. However, anticipated payments, corrections, and settlements through credit notes must not be included in the report.

The invoices usually consist of cost invoices, because these concern miscellaneous services. However, if you use purchase orders for all purposes, the report can also include purchase order related invoices.

On the report, the types of payment are identified by the expense type. 17 expense types exist, such as Fees, Commissions, Brokerage, and so on. Every purchase invoice must have an expense type.

For cost invoices, the expense type is linked to every invoice line. The default expense type is retrieved from to ledger account to which the cost invoice line is posted. For order-related invoices the expense type is linked to the invoice header. The default expense type is retrieved from the invoice-from business partner. On the invoice, you can change the expense type if necessary. On the report, each expense is represented by an expense code.

The default expense type for advance payments and unallocated payments is retrieved from the invoice-from business partner. In the DAS 2 Information (tfcmg3508m000) session, you can change the expense type and the amount and you can create new report lines. For example, if advance and unallocated payments cover expenses of multiple expense types, you can create separate lines for each expense type and adjust the amounts.
