Functions for Chile
Asset Accounting

You can use the Material Ledger (Chile) report to summarize line items in the Financial Accounting (FI) documents that have identical G/L account assignments but differ in debit/credit value fields.

Function for India
Assigning Tax Code Based on Region

In India, tax rates for the same material can differ in different regions. This solution allows you to assign a tax code for a vendor and the vendor region. When you create the purchase order or scheduling agreement for a material, the system gives you an option to use the tax code that you have assigned to the region from where the vendor supplies the material. This enables the system to calculate the taxes at the tax rate applicable for that region.

Function for Portugal

You can use this new solution for free revaluation of the fixed assets. In Portugal, companies can make a free revaluation to their fixed assets if it suits their business.

This report now generates a new form Mapa 33.30 to report free revaluation.
