Solution
There have been questions from customers regarding the new 3.0 function for
transporting tax codes between systems. Essentially, the new function is
the creation of tax codes in the target system based on tax codes in the
source system. Note 13528 explains that the tax codes themselves are
contained in transportable tables (T007A and T007S), but that the actual
tax rates appear in condition tables (A003, A053, KONH, KONP) that cannot
be transported due to the number assignment (KONH-KNUMH and KONP-KNUMH are
sequential numbers). The following procedure contains all the details
required to successfully transport the tax codes between systems. Please
pay careful attention to each step.
PROCEDURE:
1.

Before transporting the tax rates, the tax codes and, if necessary the
jurisdiction codes (eg. USA, Brazil), must be in the target systems.
These are contained in tables T007A and TTXJ (Transaction OBCP),
respectively.

2.

Since program RFTAXIMP in step 7 below will submit Transaction FTXP

internally in batch input mode, we recommend that you first check that
nobody else is blocking FTXP at the time RFTAXIMP is running. You can
check this using Transaction SM12, table name RSTABLE, enqueue key
T007A* or T007S* or T030K* while RFTAXIMP is running.

3.

In your source system, export the tax codes you want to transport to
the target system as follows:
a) Run Transaction FTXP (Maintain Tax Code).
b) Enter the COUNTRY you want to work with -> Press ENTER.
If the country does not have jurisdiction codes, screen 101 will be
displayed with the country entered. Otherwise, screen 102 will be
displayed with the country entered and a validity date. In both
cases, all other fields are blank.
c) Execute Tax code -> Transport -> Export.
d) Create a new transport request and note its number.

e) Select the check box in front of each tax code you want to
transport.
f) Save your entries.
Note that the jurisdiction structures are not copied during the export
they are in table TTXJ and must be copied separately.
4.

In your source system, search table T007V for the number of the
tranport request generated in step 3d to ensure that the marked tax
codes have been loaded.
If you don't find the corresponding entries in table T007V, refer to
Note 99173.
In some cases, not all selected tax codes are included in table T007V.
In such a case, heed Note 136363.

5.

Release the transport request created in step 3d using Transaction

SE10 and transport the tax codes and tax rates into your target system
using program r3trans.

6.

In your target system, search table T007V for the number of the
tranport request generated in step 3d to ensure that the tax rates
have been transported.
Any value in that table relating to P30 or S11 originated from the
Walldorf development systems and should be disregarded.

7.

In your target system, run program RFTAXIMP with the correct transport
number. (To do that, you should use Transaction SE38 if you are using
a release lower than 4.0A. Otherwise, you can also start RFTAXIMP from
Transaction FTXP -> Tax code -> Transport -> Import. For more details,
refer to Note 95088.)
To ensure that the correct transport number is being used, view table
T007V using Transaction SE17. You can also verify that the right
country has been used. The person running RFTAXIMP must have authority
to run batch programs. If you have problem at this step, refer to
Notes 38466 and 98483.

8.

The success of the transporting process can be verified using

Transaction FTXA or reviewing tables A003 (without jurisdictions),
A053 (with jurisdictions), KONH and KONP using Transaction SE17.

OTHER ISSUES:
o

The systems environment must be set usually to changeable (table

T000) or Transaction SCC4 (activate the 'Changes w/o automatic
recording' field) since customizing tables are being transported.
To check the status of your system, use report RDDIT097 which is
accessible only by a DDIC user, or use Transaction SCC4.
If you wish to prevent changes being made to the system, refer to
Note 110970. If Note 110970 has not been implemented, and the
system status is "non-modifiable", the tax codes cannot be
imported, and the system issues error message 00347 "Field
KONP-KBETR (1)2 is not an input field".

When the tax codes are imported, the percentage rates are only

This missing function is provided by Note 126597.

o

The user must have authorization that allow update in Transaction

FTXP (SAP_ALL).

If you want to import the tax codes using the same effective dates
as in the source system, you will need to make the following change
in program LF82VF00. This is also covered in Note 45461. Once
installed, the effective date of the source system will always be
passed to the target ystem.
Activate (remove the *) the line which reads:
PERFORM BDC_FIELD USING 'RF82T-DATAM' I-T007V-DATAM.

All of the above steps should enable you to successfully transport tax
codes between systems. If it does not, call Customer Support.
