Introduction In the typical apparel and footwear business world it is common to have different tax rates for different size ranges. For example, some countries have reduced tax rate for kid's sizes where as adult sizes are fully taxed. Therefore this functionality has been built in SAP AFS (IS-AFS) to maintain size wise prices as well as size wise tax classifications. As we all know, the tax rate (Eg: 18%, 10%) in the sales order is determined based on the tax condition master record maintained in transaction VK11. This record is maintained for the combination of customer tax classification and material tax classification. Customer tax classification is maintained in the customer master / sales area data / Billing Documents tab. In the standard SAP environment, you maintain the material tax classification in the material master "Sales: Sales Org. Data 1" tab. But in that field you do not have a provision to maintain tax classifications per each size. Therefore SAP has provided a solution to maintain tax classifications at size level based on Grid control data. This is available only in SAP AFS (IS-AFS).
Pre-requisites You need to define the tax condition as AFS size dependent. IMG Path:
AFS Grid determination This functionality is also using the famous condition technique, where you have procedure, condition types, access sequence and condition tables.
Create Grid Condition Tables Always check what is available in SAP standard before creating your own table. IMG Path:
Create your own table between 501 and 999.
Double click on the field from the column section
Once you finish adding, click on the button
to add a specific field to
You need to select the correct development package, if you want the table to be transported to a different client. After successful table generation, you should receive a message as below
Define access sequence IMG Path:
Create your own access sequence using Give a ID and a description
button
Highlight the newly created "Access Sequence" and double click on
Use
Once table are added pleas make sure you select each table and double click on the node
node
button to add tables to the access sequence
. If you don't do this step, your access sequence will not work properly!
Once this is done for all tables, save the access sequence
Define grid control condition type IMG Path:
Create your own condition type using
button
Define Grid Determination Procedure IMG Path:
Create your own grid determination procedure
Attach condition types in the node
Save the procedure
Assign grid determination procedure to article master Like in pricing procedure assignment, there is no assignment for grid determination procedure, under configuration. This is directly assigned to the article master. In SAP AFS, when creating articles, you need to assign the grid determination procedure in to the article master under "AFS Basic Data" tab
Create size level tax classification Transaction: J3AN Easy Access path:
Select your grid control condition type
Select the correct access level you need. Based on the access sequence attached to condition type, this popup will display
Enter relevant data
Highlight the line and click on the
From the below screen select the button option
button
From the popup select the option " Tax classification for Size" an press
For the sizes (Grid values) which has reduced tax, maintain the correct tax classification
Full tax is having the tax classification "1" where as reduced tax (Half) is having tax classification "2"
As per above, size "GRN" and "BLU" has reduced tax classification and the "RED" has full tax classification.
Save your grid control master record
Create tax master record Transaction: VK11 Now you need to make sure you have created VK11 condition master record for correct tax classification combination
Test scenario
Now let's create a sales order with these 3 sizes and see how the tax has been determined
Those 2 sizes with reduced tax classification got the tax percentage 10% where as the other size with full tax classification got 18%. Let's see how the "Condition Analysis" shown this;
Now If I go to each size, I can see how the tax classification has been used; o For size "BLU" & "GRN" -> Tax classification of the material is "2"
For size "RED" -> Tax classification of the material is "1"
