State Central Bank Reporting 

Use

In France, companies are required to report details (values and dates) of their imports and exports to the authorities. You can use the State Central Bank Report (RFFRCBIC80) to prepare an electronic file containing this information.

Activities

Customizing

Before you can run the report, you have to define the state central bank indicator in Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI) by choosing Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable ® Business Transactions ®Incoming Invoices/Credit Memos ® Define SCB Indicator for Foreign Trade Regulations. The French country code is not a key field in this table, so you have to create a new entry and specify the State Central Banks indicator in the format F01 – F99 (for example, F01 for 103 – Rabais et ristournes sur merchandises), and then enter the official indicator for France (for example, 103) as the Indicator acc. to service specifications.

Day-To-Day Activities

When you enter invoices for customers and vendors located in a different country, you have to enter the state central bank indicator on the invoice.

Reporting

To access the report, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting ® Financial Accounting ®General Ledger ® Reporting ®Foreign Trade Regulations ® France ® State Central Bank Report.

The State Central Bank Report selects sales-related items for which the recipient is in a different country, regardless of whether you have set the State Central Bank indicator. The system then generates a list of the selected invoices, which you can output either on the screen or as a file to send to the authorities.
