Reason and PrerequisitesThrough SAP Note No. 604274,we have migrated from the use of Business Placeto Section Code.However, we still find cases where Section Code is NOTfilled for the tax lines.This changes the way in which the data is gettingfetched and in turn affects the table updates.

SolutionSection code is mandatory for any India Reporting but there is no option tomake it mandatory using field status variant. We advise customer to usevalidation and substitution logic to fill section code value while postingdocument.For example:-In MRIS, there is no option to enter SECCO. So, following logic can be usedfor SECCO updation in substitution.1. Find out the Business place based on the Plant from the table T001W.2. Get the Section Code field based on the business place as you have 1:1 mapping between these two.3. Update the BSEG table with BUPLA and SECCO.

Similarly, above steps can be used for other transaction.

1)Please ensure that the documents are posted with section code and alsothe tax lines are getting filled with section code.

During document posting, section code is entered manually for the vendorline items and the same gets copied to the tax line items.This copying ofsecco to tax lines happens through a Function Module -J_1IEWT_UPDATE_SECCO.For section code to get copied for Vendor Line item to the tax line item,a) Ensure that component "IND" is active in table TRWCA.b) In case where table TRWPR does not have an entry for Function Module J_1IEWT_UPDATE_SECCO, Please apply the SAP Note No. 1273262.

2)Till now, the selection screen of j1inchln and j1incert will have theinput field - Business Place/Section Code.From now on, the above selection field will be changed to "SECTION CODE".

Refer the attachment "change_in_selection_texts.pdf" and make thechanges.Once the changes are done, the selection parameter "businessplace/section code" will be replaced as "section code"

3)In a case where section code is NOT present for the tax lines,thefollowing effects takes place.

a) The document will NOT be fetched during j1inqefile which in turn willlead to a amount mismatch in the quarterly returns output.Hence the validation process will result in an error.

b) For a document without section code for tax lines, the certificatenumber will update the table j_1iewt_certif.If you have applied the SAP Note No. 1145563, the f4 help for the field"Certificate Number" will not return any values since the f4 help fetchesvalue from table j_1iewt_certif_n.

c) For TCS document, if the tax lines does NOT have section code, the samewill NOT get picked up in j1inchlc.

4)SAP does NOT provide a correction program for updating the section codefor tax lines.An abap program needs to be used to update the field BSEG-SECCO for therespective document.In case where new g/l is used, section code needs to befilled in BSIS table also.For a manual FI posting, if secco is not getting filled up, please referthe SAP Note No. 1168636.

5)Section Code and Special G/L.In a case where you are using a Special G/l indicator created by you(not being an SAP delivered special g/l indicator)the section code fieldwill not be available for input during document posting.This can be resolved in the following ways:

1. Refer to note 1554285.

2. In database table T074U, there is a line as follows;

MANDT KOART UMSKZ UMSKS ..... 120 K 0 0 .....

Please change the 'UMSKS' value to 'A'.

3. For transaction FBV1/FB01 consider the following value in the table T020-DYNCL = 'V'.
