Business place & Section code in sap

Certain counties (India, Brazil, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan & Thailand) require tax reporting at level below company code.

Let’s take the example of India:

TIN number needed for VAT

VAT (tax on purchase and sales of product within state) reporting is done at state level. Company has to collect & file VAT returns to state tax authority (state tax authority is below central tax authority).

• Whichever person/authority in the company is liable to collect & file VAT returns has to obtain VAT registration number or Tax identification number (TIN) from state tax authority.
• One person/ authority (responsible for filing VAT returns) cannot have more than one TIN number. Hence different person/ authority responsible for collecting & filing VAT returns need to have its own TIN number.
• If same person/authority is responsible for collecting & filing VAT returns for multiple plants then VAT can be applied on transactions done in all those plants under single TIN number. Whenever a VAT applicable transaction is done, VAT amount is applied (calculated & recorded) under the TIN number obtained from state tax authority. (TIN number is assigned by state tax authority to each person/authority responsible for collecting & filing VAT).

Example: You got to restaurant and order food. The bill that you receive has VAT amount applied and a VAT number is also written on the bill. The VAT number (TIN) is basically identification number assigned to restaurant by state tax authority for the purpose of collecting & filing VAT with state government for transactions done within state.

TAN number needed for withholding tax Withholding tax reporting is done at central level. Company has to file withholding tax returns to central tax authority.

• Whenever person/authority makes a payment and if as per income tax act 1961 withholding tax is applicable on the payment then it’s the liability of payer to deduct withholding tax from payment to payee. Person/ authority that is liable for collecting & filling withholding tax has to obtain TAN number from central tax authority.
• One person/ authority (responsible for collecting & filling withholding tax returns) cannot have more than one TAN number. Hence different person/ authority responsible for collecting & filing withholding tax returns need to have its own TAN number.
• If same person/authority is responsible for collecting & filing withholding tax returns for multiple plants then withholding tax can be applied on transactions done in all those plants under single TAN number.

Example: Employer deducts tax (tax at source) from employee’s salary on behalf of central tax authority. Later on employer has to remit the deducted tax and file withholding tax returns with central tax authority under the TAN number.

TAN (Tax Deduction & Collection Account Number) is assigned by central tax authority to the employer.

Now let’s apply above concept and understand why we need Business place and Section code in sap

Different place of business will have different person/ authority responsible for collecting & filling VAT returns with state tax authority. Hence each person/authority has to obtain is own TIN number from state tax authority.

In sap, place of business is represented as business place. Business place captures TIN number.

Plant is assigned to a business place, whenever transaction is posted software picks the business place from plant involved in the transaction and hence fetches the TIN number as well.

For transactions where software is not able to determine business place, business place information is entered manually.

Different place of business will have different person/ authority responsible for collecting & filling withholding tax returns with central tax authority. Hence each person/authority has to obtain is own TAN number from central tax authority.

In sap, each business place is mapped to a section code. Section code captures TAN number.

Plant is assigned to a business place and business place is mapped with section code , whenever transaction is posted software picks the business place from plant involved in the transaction and hence fetches the TAN number as well.

Business Area in SAP – A Detailed Overview & Set of Questions

Published by pradeep on october 22, 2022 october 22, 2022, business area in sap.

The Business Area in SAP is the highest organizational cost structure unit. You can specify it either as per Functional lines, Product lines or as per responsibilities assigned region-wise.

Below are some quick questions that may help you understand this term better. you can also read them to prepare for your SAP FICO job interviews .

A Business Area in SAP corresponds to specific business segments of a company and may cut across different Company Codes (Product Lines). They can further represent various responsibility areas, such as Branch Units, plant engineering, automotive, etc. Also, its configuration is optional (not mandatory).

‘0001- Plant engineering

‘0002- Automotive

Use of Business Area in SAP

Business areas we primarily use to facilitate external segment reporting across company codes , covering the company’s main areas of operation (product lines, subsidiaries).

Assign Balance Sheet Items

You can assign all balance sheet items, such as fixed assets, receivables , payables, material stock, and the entire P/L statement directly to business areas. You should assign banks’ capital and taxes only manually (indirectly) to business areas, not directly for this reason. Although, it is impossible to create legally-required financial statements, tax, and tax reports at the business areas level. Balance sheets and P/L statements at the business area level only are suitable for use in internal reporting.

Create a Balance sheet and P & L

To be able to create a balance sheet and P/L statement, we need to update the data for each business area in the transaction figures in the general ledger. Therefore, we have two different procedures to do this.

Procedure 1

When posting the original document, the system supplies the business area with the proper information.

You create a customer invoice. The system can allocate the sales revenue to exactly one business area. The receivables inherit this business area.

When we make an adjustment posting in the general ledger in a second step, the system changes the business area used in the original posting to the correct value. Particularly when we didn’t enter the initial value. This may sometimes distribute the posting to several business areas.

Procedure 2

You create a customer invoice. The system must allocate the sales revenue to several business areas. We post the receivables without a business area and make a transfer posting for the receivable in a second step.

After splitting

Business area in sap general ledger accounting, automatic/manual assignment.

You cannot directly assign G/L account master data to a business area. You must enter the business area either manually or derive from that entered in the CO account assignment object.

Though we have certain business transactions for which automatic procedures exist. These analyze documents/ transaction figures in the system and use them to create new documents (Foreign Currency valuation). Subsequently, they assign the line items generated to the business areas entered in the documents/transaction figures that were read.

Business Area in SAP Asset Accounting

This section describes the role played by the “business area” organizational unit within Asset Accounting .

Automatic/Manual Account Assignment

The system allocates Assets to a single business area in its master record. Further, it automatically posts every posting to an asset balances sheet account in that business area. Consequently, the business area for an asset is passed on to all line items connected with the asset. Therefore, you do not need to make a manual assignment to a business area at any point.

Asset Dr -UN1- 5000

Vendor Cr- UN1-5000

Depreciation

The asset balance is reduced by the depreciation amount in the value adjustment (accumulated depreciation) account with the business area of the asset. Also, the expense line items receive the business area of that asset.

Asset Retirement (Scrapping)

Here the system clears the asset amount and any existing depreciation with the business area of the asset. It assigns the asset’s business area to the expenses line item.

Business Area in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

This segment describes the role played by the “Business area “organizational unit within the Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable systems.

You cannot allocate customer or vendor master records to a business area. Thus, you usually determine the business area from the business area allocated to the related G/L account posting and do not need to enter it manually.

The business area for G/L account items has to be either manually entered or derived from the SAP CO allocation object that you enter.

How Business Area in SAP works for an invoice?

In an invoice, the customer/vendor item takes the business area of the expenses or revenue postings. If the business area has been entered in the document, it is copied into the line item automatically.

However, if there is more than one business area in the document, the customer/vendor items remain unallocated. Also, a transfer posting is made at a later date to the receivables or payable account.

Furthermore, the system checks that any business area entered in the customer/vendor item is the same as that in the offsetting G/L account item and issues an error message if this is not the case.

In customizing, you can set the status of this message or even suppress it from display entirely.

Noteworthy, the taxes are always posted without a business area. Subsequently, at a later date, the system makes a transfer posting from the tax account to the business areas allocated to the revenue or expenses account.

Business Area in SAP for Payment

For customer/vendor items in payment documents, the procedure is the same as it is for the items in the invoice that they clear. Therefore, these items take the business area from the invoice.

Cash discount and exchange rate difference postings take their business area from the customer/vendor item they originated from. If this item was posted without a business area and then later has one specified via a transfer posting in the general ledger. You must make this allocation yourself retroactively for both the cash discount and exchange rate difference posting.

Bank items are currently posted without a business area (unless one is entered manually). There is also no standard function that allocates the bank items to the business area of the cleared customer/vendor items.

Business Area for Down payment

The system cannot automatically derive the business area of the underlying item with down payments since the invoice that belongs to the down payment is not entered until later.

The business area in the customer/vendor item from the invoice is therefore not entered automatically and has to be entered manually.

The bank item is currently posted without a business area. There is no standard function that allocates the bank item to the business areas of the customer/vendor items.

Business Area in SAP Cost Accounting

Automatic/ manual account assignment.

Account assignment objects in Cost Accounting are allocated to a single business area in the master record. When you post to an account assignment object in Cost Accounting, the system automatically determines the business area. You do not have to assign the posting to the business area manually.

Assessment, Distribution, Activity Allocation

Costs that have initially been allocated to an allocation object in Cost Accounting (default cost center) and therefore also to a default business area are later broken down by certain distribution keys to final recipients (such as cost centers). The allocation object is then relieved of the costs.

Business Area in SAP Material Management

Materials are assigned to a business area based on the combination of division and plant. Every time a material is posted, the relevant material stock account is automatically assigned to the business area belonging to that account.

The business area from the other line items is either (depending on the business transaction in question) derived from the account assignment object posted in Cost Accounting or from the material involved. You do not need to manually assign a business area.

Initial Entry of Stock Balances Goods/Invoices Received

The notable thing about the business transactions being examined here is that they generate a posting record that makes a posting to the material stock account (or the account representing this account) and whose offsetting posting has no business area in it. In this case, the offsetting item takes the business area from the material.

Additional, automatically-generated items that are directly linked to a certain material (price differences, exchange rate differences, freight charges) are also assigned to the same business area as the material.

The payable (vendor) is only allocated to a business area if there is one specified for the material. If more than one is specified in the invoice, the payable is posted without a business area.

Goods Receipt

Invoice receipt

Some Important Questions related to Business Area in SAP

How to draw financial statements in a business area in sap.

We draw Financial statements per business area for internal reporting purposes. It will help if you put a “tick mark in the check box in the configuration against the company for which you want to enable business area financial statements.

When we post transactions in SAP FI we can assign the same to a Business Area so that the system captures the values per business area for internal financial statements.

Can we attach “Business Area” to a Transaction by not assigning the same in a posting?

Yes, you can derive the business area from other account assignments, for example, cost center and Asset Master. We need to define the business area in the master record of Cost Center & Asset Master.

How to post Cross-Company Code Business Area posting?

Using a Cross Company code transaction, one should be able to post to different Business Areas cutting across various Company Codes. Also, any number of Business Area-Company code combinations are possible.

Why do you need to know this?

Though the Business Area in SAP is an optional setting in FICO or S/4HANA Finance , it is essential for a consultant to have good knowledge. This is because a company may demand it in their plant or business to configure. Secondly, it is part of the Cost Structure which is a must-have skill for SAP Functional-consultants. Hence, this is when you must possess relevant skills to work on it.

Additionally, you may have questions on business areas in SAP Finance Interviews . You should have a good configuration knowledge of the business area in SAP in order to perform the task that your client delegated.

SAP SuccessFactors First Half 2024 Release: Make Every Employee a Success Story

Success can take many forms. It’s achieving AI-driven results faster and smarter. It’s unlocking more meaningful and aspirational career development experiences. It’s empowering employees and managers through simple HR-related tasks in the flow of work, freeing up more productive time across the organization.

And for you and your business, you can tell all those success stories – and more – with the SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite and our first half 2024 release.

As your organization and employees begin to embrace AI, HR has the opportunity to drive new levels of employee productivity, engagement, and growth. SAP SuccessFactors HCM can give you everything you need – the global foundation, skills framework, people-first experiences, and purpose-built AI capabilities – to help take HR to the next level. With the SAP SuccessFactors first half 2024 release, we are delivering more than 250 innovative features and enhancements.

SAP Business AI

In 1H 2024, we are thrilled to introduce more than 25 new AI capabilities to enable better employee experiences and new levels of productivity.

Among these capabilities include the ability for applicants to provide skills during the application process. This can enable recruiters to see a skills compatibility for each applicant based on matching the applicant’s skills and the job requisition, helping improve applicant screening and time to hire. Furthermore, personalization in SAP SuccessFactors Opportunity Marketplace is enhanced with new AI-driven recommendation categories, “Ignite Your Role” and “Reach Your Aspirations.” These guided experiences can enable employees to proactively take steps to reach their development goals.

Generative AI continues to be embedded across the SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite, including new capabilities to help employees create ready-made performance and development goals and AI-assisted writing to help improve the quality, clarity, and conciseness of writing across a variety of areas within SAP SuccessFactors solutions.

Further, with this release, insights based on an employee’s compensation and job history are available to help support managers in having effective and well-informed compensation discussions. 

We have also added more than 15 new Joule capabilities in this release to help both managers and employees get work done in a conversational way, such as creating or changing a position, creating spot awards, clocking in and out, and viewing pay statements as well as time capabilities like requesting time off, checking leave balances, and syncing holidays to Outlook calendars while managers can review and approve time off. Further, employees can now clock in and out using Joule, Microsoft Teams, or the SAP SuccessFactors Mobile app.

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

We are excited to unveil two new people profile experiences – the profile preview and the spotlight view. The profile preview can provide a snapshot of key areas of the employee profile, including job, manager, location, and contact details, to quickly view and connect with others. Additionally, the spotlight view can showcase employee skills and competencies, mentoring and target roles, and other relevant personal and organizational information.

We are also introducing a new org chart experience with a refreshed look and feel. Available on desktop and mobile, users can explore their organizational structure with improved expand and collapse capabilities, which helps provide full accessibility to an employee’s profile preview, with an option to open the new spotlight view.

Customers can now automatically process new hires from SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting and SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding into SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central. This capability helps further reduce the time to hire, which is especially important with mass, seasonal, and high-volume hiring.

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Global Benefits

With this release, we are pleased to introduce a new benefits enrollment experience for insurance, savings, and pension benefit types. Available on both desktop and mobile, the guided experience for benefits elections can give employees increased convenience with improved navigation and increased confidence with side-by-side plan comparisons and embedded instructional text. Additionally, employees can update dependent information and manage beneficiaries directly from the benefits enrollment process, which helps further streamline the enrollment experience.  

SAP SuccessFactors Time Tracking

We are thrilled to share the launch of a new time sheet experience that integrates the latest version of My Timesheet in SAP S/4HANA with SAP SuccessFactors. Employees can now record time for payroll, as well as against activities and cost objects, from a single time sheet across applications. This helps organizations leverage real-time connectivity between HR and finance operations to keep track of employee activity and labor costs and to pay employees accurately and on time.

Additionally, a new monthly calendar view for time sheets can give employees and managers a complete picture of recorded time over a month. Users can drill down into specific days and submit or approve time for pay periods beyond a week, such as biweekly or monthly.

For managers, a new time approval center helps simplify approvals with a centralized dashboard highlighting anomalies for swift resolution. Managers can monitor team working hours effectively, helping to ensure accurate and timely payroll processing.

SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding

With enhancements to the onboarding journey experience, new hires can now use the new Your Onboarding Checklist page to reference and complete all tasks – onboarding data collection, compliance tasks, additional onboarding tasks, and exploring the onboarding guide – from one place with a single view. Available for new hires, rehires, internal hires, and employees with global assignments, this improved experience can save time for onboarding participants while helping to ensure productivity from the start.

And that’s only a fraction of all the innovations we’re bringing to customers in 1H 2024. There’s much more in the release, including new and exciting updates in:

• Generative AI and Joule capabilities
• SAP SuccessFactors Opportunity Marketplace
• SAP SuccessFactors Compensation
• SAP SuccessFactors Succession & Development
• SAP SuccessFactors Incentive Management
• SAP SuccessFactors Work Zone

Three in four businesses failing to manage talent mobility effectively, as demand for international work experience soars

• EY survey shows 75% of employers do not have fully developed mobility functions vital for meeting modern business and talent demands. 
• Companies could be neglecting a crucial opportunity to retain key talent – 64% say international assignments would encourage them to consider staying in current job.
• 71% of firms say mobility risks and scope have increased over past two years, but many don’t have policies in place to manage them.

Companies around the world could be at risk of losing out in the race for talent and driving business resilience because they are failing to mobilize their workforce effectively and create opportunities for flexible work experiences, according to the EY 2024 Mobility Reimagined Survey .

The survey canvassed the views of 1,059 mobility professionals across 21 countries on the benefits and challenges organizations can face when developing and building mobility strategies and functions.

It found that only one in four employers surveyed (25%) have a fully developed mobility function, with three-quarters (75%) failing to take advantage of a truly mobile and agile workforce.

Mobility strategy now central to talent attraction and retention

This is despite the fact that almost two-thirds (64%) of employee respondents around the world say they’re more likely to stay with their current employer after a long-term cross-border assignment, while (92%) believe such experiences can be “life-changing” and 89% say international mobility is essential for business continuity and resilience, edging up from 74% last year.

Gerard Osei-Bonsu , EY Global People Advisory Services Tax Leader, says:

“From economic volatility and geopolitical crises to talent shortages and rapidly changing employee demands, companies are having to navigate an unprecedented number of complex challenges.

“If organizations want to survive and thrive in this new working environment, they need to attract and retain top talent. Having an effective international mobility function and program in place is critical to creating a dynamic and empowered workforce.”

Organizations ill-prepared to deal with cross-border risks

Despite the significant benefits that mobility programs bring to companies, many are facing a growing number of risks and challenges when establishing international mobility functions.  Seven in ten respondents (71%) say cross-border mobility risks – including tax/regulatory and data privacy risks – have increased over the last two years, mostly due to the pandemic and ongoing geopolitical and economic challenges, which saw employees move around the world and work in separate jurisdictions, heightening corporate exposure to tax, regulatory issues and diverse employment laws.

Worryingly, many organizations are not fully prepared to manage all the risks they face. For example, while 84% of employer respondents recognize data privacy risks from hybrid mobility arrangements, just 55% have policies in place to mitigate them — a moderate improvement from last year’s 47%. Similarly, although 87% of employer respondents are aware of cybersecurity risks, just 46% have policies to address them – down from 51% last year.

In addition, 46% of companies responding use a centralized mobility operating model, which is often siloed from the rest of the business, creating a raft of communication, collaboration, and technology-related challenges.

Successful organizations accelerate mobility with five key drivers

Nevertheless, many companies are taking action where it is needed. More than eight in 10 employer respondents (82%) have developed a policy or approach for hybrid mobility, up from 76% in 2023.

There is also clear recognition that mobility is growing in importance. Eight in 10 employer respondents (80%) say they plan to increase investment in mobility technology over the next five years, up from 67% in 2023. Two-thirds (66%) of respondents believe the scope of the mobility function will grow over the next three years.  

The survey identifies five key drivers that are crucial to the development of a successful mobility function:

• Strategic alignment: Organizations should align their mobility strategy to broader organizational strategy.
• Talent linkage: An organization’s mobility strategy should be used for talent acquisition and development.
• Digital focus: Organizations should have investment and maturity in the automation and digitization of mobility processes.
• Flexibility: Organizations should be embedding flexibility in the selection of program benefits.
• External expertise: Organizations should be co-sourcing or outsourcing selected mobility processes for greater efficiency.

Maureen Flood , EY Global Mobility Reimagined Leader, says:

“It’s clear that businesses do understand the value of international mobility, not least for the impact it can have on the workforce and wider business resilience. With robust polices in place to address risks, the right level of investment, and by ensuring that the function isn’t siloed, mobility can propel businesses forward and help them face the many challenges that the future surely holds. When organizations adopt an evolved mobility approach, they reap much greater rewards.”
