Auditing 

Use

You can use this business scenario to extract the tax-relevant data from the productive system to SAP Utilities for auditing by the tax authorities according to the German principals for data access and verifiability of digital documentation.

Due to the mass volume of data in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, you cannot keep this data in the productive system for the ten years that you are legally obliged to retain data. Therefore, you can extract the data to files before it is archived. If you created the extract files in AIS format, you can transfer them directly to the auditor for evaluation.

If an evaluation system exists for auditing, you can import the files with the extracted data to that system, where you can manage, display, select the data, and extract it back to the files.
