Aggregate tax

Aggregate tax is existing functionality for which several tax codes can be linked to an aggregate tax code. This results in taxable transactions with tax codes linked to the aggregate tax code. This functionality is available for all countries.

These improvements have been made to the aggregate tax functionality:

• Aggregate tax codes can be used for debit and credit notes
• Indirect tax codes can be linked to an aggregate tax code
• Aggregate tax code with Tax on Separate Invoice is enabled
• Aggregate tax codes can be used in tax handling if extended tax configuration is active

Certified countries

These countries have been added to the list of certified countries in LN CE:

• Botswana
• Honduras
• Malta
• Nicaragua
• Suriname

For these countries, no separate localizations have been added in LN CE, but the flexible Finance package including tax management and central invoicing can be configured or used to accommodate compliance in these countries.

These requirement types are considered:

• Legal requirements
• Business practices
• Cultural requirements

Global classification schemes - Sales

Regulations in many countries require all taxable transactions to be classified during reporting. Commonly used classification schemes are the Harmonized (HS) code and United Nations Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC), but other schemes are also in use.

Classification schemes include taxonomy of goods and services. They enable sellers and buyers to describe goods and services in a common way.

The classification-scheme solution provides a framework for specifying more than one classification scheme and mapping transaction attributes to a classification scheme code. Classification scheme and scheme codes are supported for all outgoing transactions that result in billable lines.

Invoicing improvements

These invoicing improvements have been made for all countries:

XML invoicing - extensibility

For XML invoicing, you can now map and use custom data elements with process extensions. With process extensions, you can specify custom data elements and use these custom data elements when creating the XML invoice.

This functionality supports the extension of the XML invoice with custom- and country-specific data elements.

XML invoicing - language

You can now configure the language in which the XML invoice is created. You can specify the Data Language in the XML Invoice Layouts (cisli1151m000) session. These data-language options are available:

• User Language (default)
• Printed Invoice Language

If the data language is set to Printed Invoice Language, when printing the invoice, the XML invoice is generated in the same data language as the language of the printed invoice. This applies to language-dependent components, such as texts.

Delivery notes

For all source types, delivery notes can now be used as a selection criterion for batch processing in Invoicing. Previously, this selection was available only for billable lines from Sales. Consequently, the Delivery Notes selection has been moved to the Common Selection Criteria group of the Invoicing Batch Templates (cisli1125m000) and Invoicing Batches (cisli2100m000) sessions.

Transaction type defaults

If extended registration management is active, transaction type defaults can now be specified by registration code. To set this up, the use of registration codes must be enabled in the Search Priorities (cisli0130m000) session. Next, you can specify transaction type defaults by registration code in the Transaction Type Defaults (cisli1170m100) session.
