Plants Abroad 

Use

You can process tax returns for warehouses or sales and distribution centers abroad using domestic company codes.

These tax returns may be:

This procedure simplifies the process of making tax returns for companies with several plants or warehouses abroad. Note that these are not real operation centers abroad; you would have to create separate company codes for these.

You should only use this function if you have several warehouses, distribution centers, or plants abroad.
If however, you only have individual warehouses abroad for example, you should set up a separate company code for each warehouse. Otherwise the functions and scope of the Customizing settings for plants abroad would be too complicated for a single entity abroad.

For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Financial Accounting under Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Tax on Sales/Purchases ® Basic Settings ® Plants Abroad.
