Plants Abroad
Use
You can process tax returns for warehouses or sales and distribution centers abroad using domestic company codes.
This procedure simplifies the process of making tax returns for companies with several plants or warehouses abroad. Note that these
are not real operation centers abroad; you would have to create separate company codes for these.
Recommendation
You should only use this function if you have several warehouses, distribution centers, or plants abroad.
If however, you only have individual warehouses abroad for example, you should set up a separate company code for each
warehouse. Otherwise the functions and scope of the Customizing settings for plants abroad would be too complicated for a single
entity abroad.

Integration
This function affects the FI, MM, and SD application components. For more information, see the documentation for the SD and MM
application components.
Prerequisites
If you want to introduce plants abroad, note the following in connection with tax codes and tax jurisdiction codes:
Jurisdiction code
Within one client, you can use the function Plants Abroad and the tax calculation with jurisdiction code in different company codes.
Make sure however, that the company code in which you want to use Plants Abroad does not use tax calculation with jurisdiction code,
and that this company code is accordingly not assigned to a country in which the jurisdiction code is used.
Define one tax procedure with a unique tax code for all the countries/company codes that are to be combined under the plants abroad
function.
Example
You want to use plants abroad for your company codes Spain, France, and United Kingdom. However there are different tax on
sales/purchases rates in each of the three countries. For each tax on sales/purchases rate, assign a unique tax code (not A0 in all
company codes):
Tax code AX AY AZ
In addition, you must ensure that each document contains the tax code for one country only.
More than one tax country is allowed for incoming payments with tax adjustment for cash discount amounts, but only for those
cash discount line items created automatically.
Inter-plant transfers between different countries from SD are allowed, since no cash discount adjustment is required here (only
G/L account postings).
Features
This function is only for those transactions for which there are no further reporting requirements in the given country currency, other than
submitting tax returns.
In order to use plants abroad, you use the field Tax Country in the tax code. The Tax Country is the country for which the tax return
has to be created.
You can use the tax country to make settings that differ from the company code country for the following areas:
Currency key
You make and activate the settings for plants abroad in Customizing for Financial Accounting .
When you enter a document, you can enter one tax country; it must be unique in the document. The appropriate returns are then
created for this country. The amounts are translated into the tax currency where this differs from the local or transaction currency.
Any exchange rate differences are created in the local currency of the company code in question, independent of the tax currency.
The tax programs allow you to select by tax country. Sender information is replaced by country-specific sender information where
required.
