Sap Sale Module: RE:[sap-log-sd] Tax calculations for freight only orders

Hi Waza,

Thanks for the reply...

Yes freight condition has the value and the base price is 0. After little debugging, noticed that SAP is not allowing to call taxware if the base price is $0. Below are some notes captured which explain where taxware call is being avoided.

1. Method CHECK_IF_TAX_EXEMPT

If base amount is 0, default reason is set to '3' (Lines 12-16)

2. Method GET_INPUT_DATA_FOR_CALCULATION

If DEFAULT_REASON_LAST_ITEM is NOT initial, 1 is added to NR_ITEMS_DEFAULTED (Lines 32-34). Since default reason is set to 3 in step 1 above, NR_ITEMS_DEFAULTED will have value 1.

if NR_ITEMS_DEFAULTED = NR_LINES_INPUT then CH_UPDATE_INFO-TXDEF = 'X' (Lines 41-43)

3. Method GET_INPUT_DATA_AND_CALCULATE

Subsequent calls to taxware are made only if CH_UPDATE_INFO-TXDEF = SPACE, but in this case the field CH_UPDATE_INFO-TXDEF has 'X' from step 2 above, hence taxware call is not made and taxes are not calculated

Can you please elaborate a little bit on FOC pricing procedure? Contacted SAP too for their recommendations.

Subject: Tax calculations for freight only orders

Hi All,

We use taxware for tax calculations, we have an issue where if we create sales orders with freight/shipping amount only (i.e. no gross amount), call to taxware is not being made hence tax is not calculated. I must note that in US there are some states which charge tax on shipping amount also.

Is there any config setting which forces system not to calculate taxes if gross amount is 0 ?

Thanks,
Pradeep
