Consistency Checks
Use
The SAP Easy Access
Checks
folder in the
Excise Duty
component groups together functions for checking whether the basic data for the excise duty has been configured properly (consistency checks).
Features
The system can check the excise duty data in two different ways:
Comprehensive check
Check of individual areas
You can choose a comprehensive check or just to check individual areas. The comprehensive check includes the individual checks for the individual areas.
The system checks the data during document selection, before it is processed. Document selection is terminated immediately if the system detects inconsistent data.
Activities
Comprehensive check
The comprehensive check is a control program that enables you to perform all the consistency checks in sequence. The comprehensive check of the excise duty master data involves the following individual consistency checks:
Material data
Tax warehouse
Movement types
Print parameters
Movement categories and stock ledger groups
Customers
Vendors
System settings
You can restrict the checks to specific excise duty types by making an entry in field
Excise Duty Type.
It makes sense to restrict the type, for example, when you only want to check the data for a single tax type.
We recommend setting the
Report threshold
field to 4. At this value, the system only displays a message if errors occur during the check of the ED master data.
Individual checks
Material data
The system issues a list of all materials in which errors were detected during the consistency check.
Tax warehouse
The system issues a list of all tax warehouses in which errors were detected during the consistency check.
Movement types
The system issues a list of all movement types in which errors were detected during the consistency check.
Print parameters
The system issues a list of all print parameters in which errors were detected during the consistency check.
Movement categories and stock ledger groups
The system issues a list of all movement categories and stock ledger groups for which errors were detected during the consistency check.
Customers
Use this function to check the consistency of the configured special partners and customers with their own tax warehouses in the
Excise Duty
component.
For the system to check a customer, you have to define specific function modules for determining special partners and customers with their own tax warehouses in the input area Checking customers/accounts receivable of the Basic Settings Customizing table.
The system issues a list of all customers in which errors were detected during the consistency check.
Vendors
Use this function to check the consistency of the configured vendors with their own tax warehouses in the
Excise Duty
component.
For the system to check a vendor, you have to define a specific function module for determining vendors with their own tax warehouses in the input area Checking vendors/accounts payable of Customizing Table Basic Settings.
The system issues a list of all vendors in which errors were detected during the consistency check.
System settings
Use this function to check the consistency of the system settings in the
Excise Duty
component.
The system checks the settings that are essential for the use of excise duty. For example, the following settings are checked:
The update of LIS structures S465 and S466
We recommend setting up the LIS structures during the initial installation.
The permissibility of the Customizing entries in the database modification for the ED read operators
Activation of logging of dataset changes (parameter rec/client)
The system issues a list of all system settings in which errors were detected during the consistency check.
