Purpose

This country version is designed for use by businesses with operations in Turkey. As well as the generic SAP system functions, it comprises functions designed for laws and business practices particular to Turkey, and a country template to help you customize the system according to local requirements.

Features

Country-Specific Functions

Most of the country-specific functions for Turkey relate to Financials. The main areas are as follows:

·        Inflation

Due to the high inflation rate in Turkey, you adjust your accounts using generic and country-specific functions.

·        Checks and bills of exchange

The functions for checks and bills of exchange are tailored to local business practices – for example, passing on bills receivable as a means of payment – and legal requirements, including the storage of bills in portfolios and keeping written records of transactions involving bills.

·        Closing process

Reports are offered for the year-end closing process in Turkey, which requires you to close all expense accounts, profit and loss accounts, and balance sheet accounts. In addition, there is another report that allows you to adjust monetary items for inflation following local laws.

·        Statutory reporting

There are functions for preparing cost of sales statements according to local legal requirements, including the use of the local chart of accounts whose structure is defined by law. In addition, there are laws stipulating which synthetic accounts you can use for which purposes, which are reflected in the Turkish country version. Finally, the system also allows for special legal requirements regarding the use of document numbers in auditing reports.

Country Template

To allow you to customize your Turkish company codes more quickly, you can use the Turkish country template in the Country Installation Program.

In addition, system administrators can make use of a role and an area menu that cover most of the functions specific to Turkey.
