Use

The Tax Manager's Workplace (TMW) is a Customizing tool that enables you to make all required settings relevant to tax calculation in Brazil (nearly 50), from a single screen.

Recommendation

We recommend that you work through the individual IMG activities when you first configure Brazilian taxes in your system, documenting as you need to on a project basis. Then, as you need to make changes (due to a change in tax rate, for instance), you can do so quickly using the TMW.

You can use the TMW regardless of the tax calculation method you employ; it simply brings all tax activities to a single transaction. Only the pull-down menu Condition Setup contains activities that are relevant only to condition-based tax calculation (Migration, Condition Mapping, and Nota-Fiscal Mapping), and these are not visible if you have not activated condition-based tax calculation.

Integration

All TMW options can also be found as separate activities within the Implementation Guide (IMG), with the exception of two:

  1. Option to change to a different country within the TMW
  2. Migration of existing tax rates to condition records, which is necessary if you use condition-based tax calculation (only if you switch tax calculation procedures)

Activities

You access the TMW in Customizing for Financial Accounting, by choosing Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Tax on Sales/Purchases ® Calculation ® Settings for Tax Calculation in Brazil ® Access Tax Manager's Workplace. Refer to the IMG documentation for a complete listing of all activities contained in the TMW.

You can access the documentation of the individual activities in the standard way (by clicking the document icon to the left of the activity in the IMG), or by choosing the blue i icon within each activity.

You can also access the TMW by calling the transaction J1BTAX.
