Deferred Tax Toolbox

Use

You use this program for the following purposes:

To check whether the data in the deferred tax transfer program database are consistent with the data of the accounting documents in the standard system. This function is useful for reconciliation before period closing.
To correct the data in the deferred tax transfer program database in case inconsistencies have been detected
To migrate from the old deferred tax transfer program (RFUMSV25) to the new deferred tax transfer program (RFUMSV50)

To access the program, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Financial Accounting General Ledger Reporting Tax Reports General Deferred Tax Deferred Tax Toolbox.

Features

The program reads the FI data relevant for deferred taxes (vendor invoices, customer payments, or G/L documents) in the standard system and checks them against the corresponding records in the deferred tax transfer program database. Based on this, the report can detect the following types of inconsistencies:

The item should be in the deferred tax database, but it is missing
The item should not be in the deferred tax database, but it is there
The item should be in the deferred tax database and is there, but the values of some fields are incorrect.

The program then allows you to check and adjust the inconsistencies as described below.

Note Note

You cannot adjust the same lines of an extract several times. This may lead to errors and database inconsistencies. If you want to check whether the lines adjusted are correct, create a new extract or run the program without an extract.

End of the note.

Selection

On the selection screen of the program, you define the main parameters of the documents you want to be included in the check. In the Further Selections group box, you can further restrict your selection to checking G/L, customer, or vendor documents; here you need to select at least one of the checkboxes, otherwise no documents are analyzed.

You also specify whether you want the report to display all items, or only items with inconsistencies. Depending on your selection, the program can also create, read, or delete extracts.

Output

The program displays an ALV list, which shows either all items checked or only the items where inconsistencies have been detected (based on your selection). The report also shows the reason of the inconsistency.

The program shows the results of the check as follows:

Result	Displayed As	Adjustment
The item in the deferred tax database is inconsistent and can be automatically adjusted by the program	The checkboxes Adjustable and Adjust are selected. The reason of the inconsistency is displayed in the field Error Message .	Adjustment is possible. The item is added, deleted, or modified in the deferred tax database based on the type of inconsistency.
The item in the deferred tax database is inconsistent and cannot be automatically adjusted by the program	The checkboxes Adjustable and Adjust are deselected. The reason of the inconsistency is displayed in the field Error Message .	No adjustment is possible by the program.
The item in the deferred tax database is consistent	The checkboxes Adjustable and Adjust are deselected. The field Error Message is empty.	No adjustment is required.

If the item is marked as adjustable, you can define whether you want the program to adjust the given item by selecting or deselecting the Adjust checkbox. If both checkboxes are selected, you can adjust the item by choosing ( ) with the quick info text Adjust . The program then corrects the corresponding records in the database.

You can also display detailed information about a document by double-clicking the document number.

Migration

When migrating from the old deferred tax transfer program (RFUMSV25) to the new deferred tax transfer program (RFUMSV50), the deferred tax transfer database must be updated with information on all the invoices, payments and tax transfer documents for the given period. The adjustment function of the deferred tax toolbox program makes sure that the database contains the correct data of the invoices and payment documents, while the tax transfer document data can be updated using the program RFUMSV50 directly. This allows an immediate switch between the old (RFUMSV25) and the new (RFUMSV50) program.
