SAP Document and Reporting Compliance

This blog post is a part of the multi part series of blog posts on the Define compliance
Reports application in which we cover the end to end process of creating a report
using SAP Document and Reporting Compliance – Statutory Reporting (Formerly
ACR).

In this blog post, we’ll talk about creating a schema – the structural information of the
report output. In DRC - Statutory Reporting, schemas can be created based on a
technical object or also from a query defined in the report itself. The various technical
object formats which are supported for schema creation include XSD, JSON, XBRL.
Additionally, users can also create schemas using DDIC structures or CDS views or
DRC - Statutory Reporting queries.

Here we talk about how to create a schema using ABAP dictionary structure and using
an DRC - Statutory Reporting query.

Schema created using DDIC structure

https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-sap/blog-series-on-define-compliance-reports-creating-a-schema/ba-p/13502164 1/15

The example schema has the following structure:

Report Header:

Company Name

Country Key

Total Input Tax

Tax Amount in Local Currency

Total Output Tax

Total Tax Payable

Reporting Currency

Item Level (Output tax):

Company Code

Transaction Key

Tax on Sales/Purchases Code

Percentage share of return delivery

Tax Reporting Country/Region

Tax Base Amount in Local Currency

Tax Amount in Local Currency

Total Amount in Local Currency

Currency Key

Item Level (Input tax):

Company Code

Transaction Key

Tax on Sales/Purchases Code

Percentage share of return delivery

Tax Reporting Country/Region

Tax Base Amount in Local Currency

Tax Amount in Local Currency

Total Amount in Local Currency

Currency Key

To create a schema using DDIC structure, first create database structure with the
required fields.

Here is the structure which will be used in this example:

ZDEMO_TT_VAT_OUTTAX is a table type of structure shown below:

ZDEMO_TT_VAT_INTAX is a table type of structure shown below:

Now to create schema in report definition.

In the Report Definition, Document section, specify a schema ID and click on Create.

In the popup, choose ABAP Dictionary and choose the structure (like the one created
above)

Now, click on verify to check if the schema has any errors. If there are no errors, click
on Activate.

And the schema is created.

To see the details of schema created, navigate to Mapping section.

Here the details are available and the corresponding data sources can also be
mapped.

The DDIC structure name is available as 1st element, followed by header details.

Then the item level information (output tax and input tax) is available. For item level
information, since multiple nodes are possible, there is an option to assign loop
query.

Schema created using query

To create a schema using query, first a query needs to be created. For this go to query
section in report definition and create a query [more details about how to create query

https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-sap/blog-series-on-define-compliance-reports-creating-a-schema/ba-p/13502164 7/15

in blog post here]. In this example, we assume that output tax needs to be submitted
to government.

Example query:

Now, this query will be used to create a schema. In the Report Definition, Document
section, select the radio button for “Query”.

https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-sap/blog-series-on-define-compliance-reports-creating-a-schema/ba-p/13502164 8/15
1/13/25, 11:56 AM Blog series on Define Compliance Reports: Creating... - SAP Community

In the pop-up, select the query from which the schema must be created.

Now click on “Select Columns” to select the fields that will be used to create schema.

Next popup displays all the available columns from the CDS view used for creating
query.

The required columns can be selected. It is also possible to order the selected
columns based on the requirements.

In the mapping section, the schema elements can be seen along with mapping.

Hi Jai Shree,

Nice step-by-step article.

However, I was wondering how can we get Schema details in the back-end if we want
to copy a standard schema like GENVAT_SCHEMA1 and add few changes to it.

Kind Regards,

KC
