The R/3 System provides the business place field in all taxable transaction to assign the tax related documents to the responsible business place. The business place has to be filled on the line item level (included in all tax relevant tables like BSEG, BSET). It is enough just to enter the business place in one posting line on the document. It will be copied to all other line items during the simulation and posting. When configuring the organizational structure of the company, create for each business place in your company a business place master record in the R/3 System. For integration aspects (postings from other R/3 modules), see Master data.

The tax relevant documents contain only one business place. There are only few exceptions. Payment (clearing) documents can have more than one business place if the cleared invoices originated from more than one business place. Keeping these rules the VAT reports in the system are able to select all VAT postings for any business place of your company.
