SAP Note 16242 - EU95: New membrs of the Europ.Union as of 01/01/95

Symptom:

EU95
On 01/01/1995, the following countries will become members of the European Union (EU):
- Austria (AT)
- Sweden (SE)
- Finland (FI)

Questions:
- Which settings in Customizing must be adapted?
- How are the country-specific settings maintained ?
- Are new reports already available for the EC sales lists (FI) or
for INTRASTAT (MM, SD) for the above countries?

Cause and prerequisites

The "EU status" for
- Austria, Sweden and Finland
changes on 01/01/1995, i.e. these countries will become members
of the European Union, which will affect tax processing and
statutory reporting.

Solution

- Which settings in Customizing must be adapted ?

- Case 1

- Company code country is an "old" member of the
European Union, thus not Austria, Sweden, Finland

- Configuration -> Global settings -> Countries -> Country
definition
- Switch on "Member of the EU" identification for Austria,
Sweden and Finland for 01/01/1995.

- Configuration -> Global settings -> Countries -> Country
definition
- maintain ISO code (VAT registration number) and
INTRASTAT code
- numeric INTRASTAT coding for the three new members.
Coding for the new EU members for the INTRASTAT in
Germany remains the same for the time being, i.e.
the coding for these countries formerly common in
the foreign trade statistics remains valid.
A change to the coding for these countries is planned for
the coming year. A precise date could not yet be given
by the German federal office of statistics.

- Austria
- ISO code: AT
INTRASTAT code: 038

- Sweden
- ISO code: SE
INTRASTAT code: 030

- Finland
- ISO code: FI
INTRASTAT code: 032


- Maintain VAT registration numbers of the customers that are
residents of the new EU members.
This maintenance is optional!
- Maintain VAT registration numbers of the vendors that are
residents of the new EU members.
This maintenance is optional !

- For users of SD:

- tax determination
- adapt for deliveries into the new member countries
("Determination" of tax codes that represent an
intra-EU delivery)

- For users of SD or MM
- For goods that are obtained from the new members or that are
delivered to the new members, specifications such as
commodity code, net weight in kilograms etc. in the material
master (necessary for INTRASTAT declaration).


- Tax codes to be used as of 01/01/1995:
- For invoices, use tax on sales/purchases codes that refer to
an intra-EU delivery (tax rate: 0 %) if these invoices are
based on deliveries of goods to the new member countries and
you have a valid customer VAT registration number.
- Post acquisition taxes when acquiring goods you obtain from
the new member countries.


- Case 2
- Company code country is a new member of the European Union,
thus Austria, Sweden or Finland
- Please consider the notes in case 1
- You can find further notes in the documentation on FI
(System Administration Guide, Single European Market and
Tax Processing).
You can find notes on INTRASTAT processing in the
documentation on MM Purchasing or on SD Billing.

- Are new reports already available for the EC sales list (FI
or the INTRASTAT declaration (MM, SD) for the new member countries
of the European Union ?

- Austria
- New reports for the EC sales list (data exchange with
Radio Austria) and the INTRASTAT declaration are now
available. RVEXPAIA.

- Sweden
- The delivery of new reports for the EC sales list
and the INTRASTAT declaration are now available. RVEXPAIV.

- Finland
- Support for a Finnish EC sales list or a Finnish INTRASTAT declaration will be availible from SAP as of Release 3.0D.



- What has to be taken into account for December 1994 ?
- For the reporting month December 1994, the trade in goods with
the new EU members is not yet relevant to reporting.
The reports RMIMST00 and RVEXST00 recognize a transaction as
relevant to reporting when the dispatching country or country
of destination in table T005 is marked as EU-relevant.


- If you are a user of MM or SD and you are using the reports
RMIMST00 or RVEXST00 to create the INTRASTAT declaration,
please consider the following notes if the following also
applies:
- In December 1994, you have obtained goods from or have
delivered goods to Austria or Sweden or Finland.
- If you create the INTRASTAT declaration before converting
table T005 (selection of the new EU member countries as
members of the EU), only deliveries of goods to the other
EU countries or goods acquisitions from the other EU
countries are reported, which is correct.
- If you are creating the INTRASTAT declaration after
converting table T005, table 005 should be reset for the
new member countries (AT, FI and SE) when creating the
INTRASTAT declaration.
After the run, the new status is to be reestablished.


Check algorithm for the VAT registration number

The check algorithm for the VAT registration numbers for the new
EU countries Finland, Austria and Sweden will only be available for
Release 2.2D.

Check algorithms only become known when these countries have become
members of the EU.

Even if the country-specific check algorithms are not yet available,
the check for a valid format of the VAT registration number can still
already be carried out.

For this reason, "FI" for Finland, "AT" for Austria and "SE" for Sweden
must be entered as ISO codes into the country definition. Furthermore,
the following values have to be entered for the length or check rule
of the VAT registration number with the field checks:

Country Length Check rule
Finland 10 3
Austria 11 3
Sweden 14 3
