In this section, you maintain the tax code determination facility.
Within the framework of the price determination process, it is possible to have the tax code determined automatically via the conditions.
For the purposes of automatic tax code determination, tax indicators derived from the material master record, Customizing, or the purchasing document are used. The system determines the tax code on the basis of the combination of these tax indicators.
To assign a tax code to a combination of tax indicators, you must maintain master conditions in Purchasing (menu options "Master data -> Taxes").
There are tax indicators at the levels "plant", "account assignment category" and "material".
In addition, there are two tax indicators that are derived from the purchasing document:
The assignments "tax indicator -> plant" and "tax indicator -> account assignment category" must be made in Customizing.
Automatic tax code determination can be useful, for example, if different tax rates apply depending on whether a material is placed in stock or is consumed immediately following its procurement.
