 Business-to-Authority (B2A) Manager

Use

You use the Business-to-Authority (B2A) Manager to check, monitor and control the progress and status of each of the steps within the polling process. Once report RPUEFI_START_POLL has been started, it creates entries into the B2A Manager (transaction PB2A).

The B2A Manager consists of:

  1. Selection and Further Options group boxes where you can limit the number of entries that are displayed in the B2A Manager .
  2. An SAP List Viewer (ALV) display showing the number of processes that have run.

Features

Selection Screen

The Selection and Further Options group boxes contain the following fields and indicators:

  • Area : Area for which the e-Filing is defined (PAYE)
  • Document Class : The category of documents (INCO)
  • Only Display Open Processes : If you set this indicator, the display shows records with status Not Equal To Error or OK
  • Log : Opens the Log Display (only in interactive mode)
  • Simulation : Not used for e-Filing GB
Status of Polling Process

A polling process has five distinct process statuses. These are:

  1. New

The system sets this status, as soon as an entry appears for the first time in the B2A Manager . You still have not performed a process with this entry.

  1. In process

The system sets this status, when you have performed a process with this entry, but the process has not yet been completed.

  1. OK

The process is complete. This status is not set by your SAP system automatically. You must set the status manually to document that a process is completed, for example, if you have received confirmation from the Inland Revenue.

You cannot change the status OK , once it has been assigned.

  1. Incorrect

Process that has a rectifiable error

  1. Error

Process that has a fatal error

Mail Customising

Mails (which can be customised) can also be set up to notify the administrator of any errors that have stopped the process.

For further information on setting up e-mail notifications in e-Filing for Great Britain , see Section 4 of the e-Filing Implementation and User Guide relevant for your SAP release.
