This country version is designed for use by businesses with operations in India. As well as the generic SAP R/3 functions, it comprises functions designed for laws and business practices particular to India, and a country template to help you customize the system according to local requirements. This documentation explains how the country-specific functions work and what Customizing settings are made by the country template. It does not cover the generic functions, which are described in the rest of the SAP Library.
Country-Specific Functions Most of the country-specific functions for India relate to Financials and Logistics. The main areas are as follows: Excise duty and the central value-added tax system (CENVAT) Withholding tax (also known as tax deducted at source) Sales tax
Maintenance and printing of statutory excise registers All of the menu paths given in this document are based on the India Localization role, with the exception of functions in withholding tax, whose menu paths are given from the SAP Easy Access menu.
Country Template To allow you to customize your Indian company codes more quickly, you can use the Indian country template in the Country Installation Program.

1. Taxes (FI-AP/AR)
The Taxes component covers the most important laws and business practices specific to India. The following documentation describes these aspects of the component:
Country-Specific Functions: Country Version India uses the standard functions for calculating and collecting withholding taxes. However, both Classic Withholding Tax and Extended Withholding Tax come with additional functions for tax remittance, journal vouchers, creating withholding tax certificates, and preparing annual returns. If you want to handle excise duties, you must post the excisable transactions using the Materials Management (MM) and Sales and Distribution (SD) components. The system calculates the excise duty in these components and creates the appropriate line items in Financial Accounting (FI). However, if you only want to handle withholding taxes, you can use FI on its own. Country Template: The country template for India comes with settings for calculating and posting withholding taxes, and account determination settings for posting excise duty.
Excise Duty:-
SAP R/3 automatically calculates excise duties in Materials Management (MM) and in Sales and Distribution (SD), and posts them in Financial Accounting (FI). The system covers all types of excise duty, all of which need to be calculated and reported separately: Basic excise duty (BED) Special excise duty (SED) Additional excise duty (AED)
Cess The system of excise duties is complex, and differs from the generic functions for taxes on sales and purchases in a number of ways: The rate of duty on a single material can vary according to which chapter ID it is listed under. You cannot offset all excise duty on inputs against outputs. Depots cannot offset any input duties at all. Manufacturing plants can only offset input duties if they can show that the input materials are used to produce output materials. You have to record all excise duty (inputs and outputs) in excise registers. Your company may only be entitled to offset a portion of the duty on inputs against duty on outputs. Companies that qualify as small-scale industries can levy excise duty on outputs at reduced rates, so if you purchase materials from these companies, you must calculate a different rate of excise duty.
Excise Determination In MM, SAP R/3 comes with two ways of determining excise duties (and sales taxes) on input materials: formulabased excise determination and condition-based excise determination. The system calculates excise duties using a tax procedure. SD also supports formula-based and condition-based excise determination, but in SD, the system calculates the taxes using a pricing procedure, not the tax procedure (see Pricing).
Reporting You have to remit the excise duty that you have collected to the central excise authorities. The law requires you to remit excise duty twice monthly: for the first half of any given month (115 inclusive) and from 16 to month-end. In each case, you are allowed five days to remit the excise duty. Country Version India offers a report to help you do just that (see Remittance of Excise Duty Fortnightly). A small number of transactions have to be remitted on the same day (see Other Outward Movements). In addition, the system allows you to prepare printouts of the various excise registers for the tax authorities.
Country India Features in SAP R/3 Enterprise Version Partial CENVAT Credit
In some industries, businesses are only allowed to set off a portion of their input excise duty against output duty. In this case, the remainder of the duty is added to the material value. Customizing If any of your excise registrations are only entitled to claim partial CENVAT credit, set the indicator in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements India Basic Settings Maintain Excise Registrations. Configure separate tax codes that split the excise and post some as tax and add the rest to the material price. Day-to-Day Activities The portion of the excise duty that is added to the material value is displayed in the excise invoice, along with the CENVAT credit. This amount is added to the inventory value when you post the goods receipt.
Features To access the report, on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Indirect Taxes Sales/Outbound Movements Fortnightly Payment. Selection
You now have to specify which accounts can be used to utilize the duty amount. In the Balance Utilization group box, the system proposes how much money should be taken from which accounts. You can overwrite these fields if you want, and choose to refresh the display. For a list of excise invoices that are considered for the CENVAT payment, choose Display excise invoices. You can print the list and use it as an annexure. When you have finished, save your entries. The system then: Creates an accounting document that:
o Credits the CENVAT clearing account to remove the excise duty owed o Debits the accounts from which the excise duty is to be paid
Updates the Updates the Part II register
Sales Tax:-
This is a tax levied on the sale of a product. It is applied on the gross price of goods, inclusive of excise duty. Prerequisites In addition to the standard Implementation Guide (IMG) settings for taxes on sales and purchases, you must also have maintained the tax registration numbers of your vendors, customers, and your own plants. Furthermore, if the state legislation allows you to offset input local sales tax (LST) against output LST, you must also have defined this (see Material Master (Excise Data)). Features There are two types of sales tax. Interstate sales (for example, between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu) are subject to central sales tax (CST). The tax rate is the same throughout the country. Intrastate sales, on the other hand, are subject to local sales tax (LST), which differ from state to state. SAP R/3 handles these using tax jurisdiction codes. A percentage of input LST can be deducted against output LST, depending on what percentage of goods you have purchased in the state in question. The system calculates the sales taxes automatically, when you enter the tax codes. A report is also available that tells you how much sales tax you have paid and collected.
Withholding Tax:-
Country Version India comes ready configured with all the settings you need to track and remit withholding taxes under the following sections of the Income Tax Act, 1961: Payments to contractors and subcontractors (Section 194 C) Insurance commission (Section 194 D) Rent (Section 194 I) Fees for professional or technical services (Section 194 J) Interest other than interest on securities (Section 194 A) (only supported in the Extended Withholding Tax solution)
Features Country Version India offers you two solutions for handling withholding tax (also known as tax deducted at source or TDS). You can either use the Classic Withholding Tax solution or the Extended Withholding Tax solution. If you are installing SAP R/3 for the first time, we recommend that you use the Extended Withholding Tax solution. Before you decide one way or the other, however, you must give careful consideration as to whether Extended Withholding Tax covers your requirements. If you start working with this solution and it transpires that it does not cover your needs, SAP does not offer a strategy for migrating to Withholding Tax. Taxes withheld under each section are treated differently with regard to the time limits for remitting tax to the authorities, providing the taxpayer with a withholding tax certificate, and filing an annual return. In addition, the formats for the withholding tax certificates and the returns also differ. The Income Tax Act requires you to calculate taxes as soon as you enter an invoice. However, if you make a down payment to a vendor before you have received an invoice from it, you withhold tax on the down payment. Then, once the invoice arrives, you clear the down payment against it. When you prepare your annual returns, the act also requires you to make provisions for taxes on services received but not yet invoiced.
Country Version India Country Version India complements the generic Classic Withholding Tax and Extended Withholding Tax solutions with additional functions that meet the needs of the Income Tax Act. These functions allow you to: Ensure that you remit taxes within the due date Track and report withholding tax surcharges separately Adjust withholding taxes when you clear a down payment against an invoice Prepare withholding tax certificates and annual returns Calculate withholding tax on provisions
Country India Features in SAP R/3 Enterprise Version (a) Classic Withholding Tax
Under the terms of the Income Tax Act, you are required to calculate withholding tax (tax deducted at source, or TDS) when you post a vendor invoice. The R/3 System calculates withholding tax at the time of payment. To handle this difference in the calculation of the tax and to incorporate additional requirements, such as withholding tax certificate printing and annual returns, additional functions are provided. Features The withholding tax for an invoice or a down payment is calculated at header level. That is, only one withholding tax code can be used for a down payment or invoice. This implies that an invoice cannot contain items with different withholding tax rates. It can, however, contain one or more items with the same withholding tax rate and one or more items with no withholding tax. This can be handled by specifying the base amount on which withholding tax is to be calculated. On account of calculation at header level, companies have to instruct their suppliers not to include items with different withholding tax rates in a single invoice, but issue separate invoices for different tax rates. The SAP System also allows you to print TDS certificates for vendors, and to reprint or cancel them if necessary. In addition, you can also prepare annual returns for different sections of TDS.
Recipient Type
A system object that you use to classify payment recipients as legal persons or natural persons, for the purposes of withholding tax reporting. Customizing Define the recipient types in Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI), by choosing Financial Accounting Global Settings Withholding Tax Withholding Tax Basic Settings Maintain Types of Recipient. Create two entries as follows: Recipient type CO OT Master Data When you enter the withholding tax types and codes in the vendor master, enter CO or OT in the Recipient Type field, depending on whether the vendor is a legal person or a natural person. Reporting The annual returns separate the information about taxes withheld on legal persons and on natural persons. Text Companies Others
Run Program in Test Mode We recommend that you first run the program in test mode, then once you are satisfied with the results, in update mode.
Process Invoices Only Select this if you want to post TDS for a specific invoice. It speeds up the response time.
TDS Date This is the posting date that the system enters in the TDS document (update mode only).
Output The system displays a list of invoices and specifies whether there are any down payments to be cleared against them. Activities In the output list, you can clear an invoice against a down payment as follows:
1.
2. 3.
Position the cursor on the invoice that you want to clear the down payment against and choose Select the down payment that you want to clear. Save the down payment.
The system:
Creates an accounting document to clear the down payment and reduce the vendor liability Recalculates the withholding tax base amount and the withholding tax amount, based on the amount of the down payment against which the invoice was cleared. You can also clear invoices against down payments by first taking a list of all the invoices listed above by choosing . You can then clear them by choosing Financial Accounting Accounts Payable Document Entry Down Payment Clearing, and then clear each invoice one by one. By clicking on the document numbers, you can display the document of the TDS posting. You will have to make a manual FI posting to transfer the amounts from the respective withholding tax accounts (as defined in the withholding tax line items) to the TDS government payable vendor account. To make the payment to the TDS government payable vendor account, from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Financial Accounting Accounts Payable Document Entry Outgoing Payment Post.
Remittance Challans
When you have remitted the deducted TDS to the government, you are sent a bank challan confirming that payment has been received. The system allows you to record the number of the challan in the invoices from which the TDS had been deducted and paid. You can also use this function to change the challan number or date later on, if necessary. Features
Print Certificates
You use this program to print TDS certificates for your vendors (individually or in batches). It covers the TDS in all the invoices and down payments that you have posted over a specified period. To access the program, from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Financial Accounting Accounts Payable Withholding Tax India Withholding Tax Certificates Print Vendors. There is a separate print program for one-time vendors, which you can access from the SAP Easy Access screen, by choosing Accounting Financial Accounting Accounts Payable Withholding Tax India Withholding Tax Certificates Print One-Time Vendors. Prerequisites You have already remitted the TDS to the government and recorded the challan number in the transactions concerned (see Update of Challans). Only transactions with a challan number can be included in certificates. The certificate printing program uses SAPscript form J_1ITDSCERT. If there are some changes in the certificate format this layout set can be changed accordingly. If the certificates are to be divided by business area, with a unique number range per business area, you must have maintained the sections as a combination of section and business area, so for business area 0001 and section 194C, you could maintain the section as 194C0001, for example. Selection Enter data as required, including:
The dates of the transactions that are to be covered in the certificate Withholding tax section
If you enter the business area in combination with the section, it must also be used in all other transactions involving this certificate, including annual returns. Output If you select the preview option, the system displays a certificate without any certificate number. The number will be assigned only when the certificate is actually printed directly (not from the print preview). A summary of all the certificates is printed at the end, summarized by certificate and challan number.

Cancel Certificates
You use this program to cancel TDS certificates. To access the program, from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Financial Accounting Accounts Payable Withholding Tax India Withholding Tax Certificates Cancel. Selection Enter data as required, including the number of the certificate that you want to cancel. Output The system marks the certificate as canceled. It does not delete it from the database.

Country India Features in SAP R/3 Enterprise Version (b) Extended Withholding Tax
Country Version India contains a number of features that complement the generic Extended Withholding Tax solution. For information about the generic functions, see Extended Withholding Tax. The country-specific features are described in the following documentation.
Features Using the Extended Withholding Tax solution, you can withhold and report tax under all sections of the Income Tax Act listed in Withholding Tax. Since a company may consist of more than one entity responsible for withholding taxes, each of which is identified by a separate TAN, you use a separate SAP organizational unit to represent each entity, the section code.
Customizing For generic information about customizing Extended Withholding Tax, see Settings for Extended Withholding Tax: Overview. Country Version India comes with sample Customizing settings for all of the aforementioned sections of the Income Tax Act. The settings include: Withholding tax types Withholding tax codes Official withholding tax keys, which represent the different sections of the Income Tax Act
Recipient types, which represent the categorization of taxpayers into "companies" and "others," again, as per the Income Tax Act You must also customize your own section codes.
Master Data Enter the required information in the vendor masters and in the customer masters.
Day-to-Day Activities You are required to calculate taxes either when you enter an invoice or when you make any sort of payment, whichever comes first. Since a full payment is seldom made before the invoice arrives, that means in effect that you withhold taxes when you enter an invoice or a down payment. When you enter a vendor invoice or make a down payment that is liable to withholding tax, the system automatically creates line items for the appropriate taxes, including surcharges. Since different taxes need to be remitted on different dates, depending on the section of the Income Tax Act, the system also calculates and records each line item's due date. If you first make a down payment (and withhold tax on it) and then enter the vendor invoice later on, you have to clear the invoice against the down payment so that you do not withhold tax on the same item twice. As far as your receivables are concerned, you also enter withholding tax certificates sent to you by your customers, as proof of tax that they have withheld on payments to you.
Periodic Processing At the end of each period, you make provisions for taxes on services received. The authorities in India require you to remit taxes following a specific procedure. First, you create a remittance challan with a list of the withholding tax items that you are remitting. You then send the challan to the authorities, along with the check. Once the check has been cashed, the bank sends you a bank challan to confirm the payment. You then enter the bank challan in the system. The system automatically tracks each withholding tax item's remittance challan and bank challan. When you have remitted the tax, you can print out withholding tax certificates for all taxes that you have withheld, using functions specific to Country Version India. Before you create your annual returns, you can also check for any customers that have not yet sent you a withholding tax certificate for tax that they have withheld from you. Again, with receivables, if you make interest payments to your customers, you must also withhold tax on them as appropriate.
13
Reporting Country Version India offers a report that you can use to prepare annual returns, and a Withholding Tax Information System for tracking and reporting purposes.
Section Code
A system object that represents the organizational unit responsible for collecting and remitting withholding tax, as identified by a TAN. Each company can have more than one TAN, so in SAP R/3, a company code can also have multiple section codes.
Customizing Define section codes in Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI), by choosing Financial Accounting Global Settings Withholding Tax Extended Withholding Tax Basic Settings India Define Section Codes. Day-to-Day Activities When you post a document with a withholding tax item (for example, a vendor invoice or a credit memo), enter the section code in order to make sure that the tax item is assigned to the correct TAN. For more information, see Entering Vendor Invoices. In order to ensure that you always enter a section code, we recommend that you create a validation for this field.
Periodic Processing When you print withholding tax certificates, each of your section codes can define its own forms, depending on which format is required by the income tax office. The certificate supplied with the standard system also shows the address data from the section code.
Reporting Each TAN holder files its own tax returns. When you create your annual returns, you enter the TAN holders section code on the selection screen. The annual returns then show only the withholding tax items that are assigned to that section code.
14
15
Assign an official withholding tax key to each of your withholding tax codes. Day-to-Day Activities Whenever you post a withholding tax item, assign it a withholding tax code as normal. Since each withholding tax code is also assigned to an official withholding tax key, the system automatically knows which section of the Income Tax Act the tax item is associated with. Reporting When you prepare an annual return for a particular section of the Income Tax Act, the system only selects the withholding tax items that have the appropriate official withholding tax key.
Recipient Type
A system object that you use to classify payment recipients as legal persons or natural persons, for the purposes of withholding tax reporting. Customizing Define the recipient types in Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI), by choosing Financial Accounting Global Settings Withholding Tax Extended Withholding Tax Basic Settings Check Recipient Types. For each withholding tax type, create two entries as follows: Recipient type CO OT Text Companies Others
Country Version India comes with sample settings for the sample withholding tax types provided. Master Data Enter the recipient type in each vendor master and each customer master. Reporting The annual returns separate the information about taxes withheld on legal persons and on natural persons.
17
Surcharges
As well as withholding tax on payments to vendors, in India, you may also be required to withhold a surcharge. Some tax offices require you to track surcharges separately from the basic withholding tax, that is, to create separate line items for the surcharges. Others prefer you to combine the two in a single line item. The system supports both calculation methods. Customizing Set up the surcharge function in Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI), by choosing Financial Accounting Global Settings Withholding Tax Extended Withholding Tax Basic Settings India Surcharges. Create withholding tax types and withholding tax codes for the surcharges. The standard system comes with samples for both. Day-to-Day Activities When you enter a vendor invoice, the system automatically calculates any surcharges that apply. It either creates one withholding tax item or two, depending on how you have customized the system. The following examples assume that the surcharge is 2% of the basic-rate withholding tax: Vendor Invoice with Surcharges Shown Separately
Vendor Invoice with Surcharges Combined with Other Withholding Tax Items
Reporting No matter which of the calculation methods you use, the annual returns show the surcharges separately.
18
In the event of the tax being due on a public holiday, whether the tax office requires you to remit the tax a day earlier or a day later Customizing Set up the due dates in Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI), by choosing Financial Accounting Global Settings Withholding Tax Extended Withholding Tax Basic Settings India Maintain Tax Due Dates. In Customizing for FI, under Financial Accounting Global Settings Withholding Tax Extended Withholding Tax Basic Settings India Assign Factory Calendars to Section Codes, specify whether, in the event of the due date falling on a public holiday, you must remit the tax on the day before or the day after. Day-to-Day Activities When you enter a vendor invoice, SAP R/3 automatically determines the tax due date and enters it in the tax line item. Periodic Processing When you come to create a remittance challan to remit the withholding tax, the system uses the tax due date.
Customizing You have made the settings for interest calculation in Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI), by choosing Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Business Transactions Interest Calculation. Periodic Processing Execute the program as described in the documentation. There are two types of output. The system either creates a batch input session, which you can process, or it displays the details of the interest to be posted, which you can post manually. In both cases, you must ensure that each customer line item contains a section code. The program creates an accounting document as follows:
It copies the section code from the customer line item to the withholding tax item, and calculates the tax due date (see Tax Due Dates).

Procedure 1. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Financial Accounting Accounts Payable Document Entry Down Payment Down Payment. 2. 3. 4. On the Header Data screen, enter the header data as required and choose On the Add Vendor Item screen, enter data as required, including: Bus. Pl. (Business Place): The section code handling the down payment Save the down payment.
Result The system creates an accounting document with the appropriate withholding tax items. It enters the business place in each vendor item and each withholding tax item.
A withholding tax type that is marked as Central Inv. Prop. (Central invoice proportionate) A withholding tax code that uses the posting indicator 1 (Standard posting: bank/vendor/customer line item reduced) If you use either of the other two methods, the adjustment will be made against the offsetting account instead of the vendor account.
Day-to-Day Activities Make sure that the withholding tax codes you use when you enter the down payment and the invoice are assigned to the same official withholding tax key, otherwise the clearing program will not let you clear them. Once you have posted the vendor invoice, clear the down payment against it. To access the function, from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Financial Accounting Accounts Payable Document Entry Down Payment Clearing. Example A vendor provides you with some services, for which it promises to send you an invoice in a few days' time.
42
A week later, the vendor sends you the invoice, for a total of INR 20,000 on which you have to withhold a total of INR 408. You post the invoice as normal, which gives the following accounting document:
You then clear the invoice against the down payment. The system takes into account the INR 204 of tax that you have already withheld, and creates the following accounting document to clear the down payment against the invoice, and clear the withholding tax account:

In the two-step procedure, the excise clerk captures the incoming excise invoice. This means that the clerk enters the data, but the system does not yet create an entry in Part II of the appropriate excise register. Another user (the excise supervisor) checks the excise invoice and posts it. The system then creates a Part II entry. In the one-step procedure, the excise clerk captures and posts the incoming excise invoice simultaneously. The system creates the Part II entry automatically.
Generally speaking, you have one excise invoice for each goods receipt, but see also Multiple Goods Receipts for a Single Excise Invoice. Structure In the R/3 System, the excise invoice consists of header data and line items. The header data comprises:
An internal number The excise invoice number The date of the excise invoice The details of the original vendor who generated the excise invoice, if your vendor purchased the goods from another vendor and was merely selling them on to you
At line item level, the excise invoice lists the materials on the excise invoice, showing the following information:
Chapter ID Quantity of materials Excise duty base amount Rates of excise duty Amount of duty paid

Choose
Enter data as required. In the Tax Code field, enter the dummy tax code that you have defined. Save the condition record.
52
Plant master data You assign each of your plants an excise duty indicator. You can use the same indicator for all the plants with the same excise status from a legal point of view, such as all those that are in an exempt zone. See also the information about manufacturers that are only entitled to deduct a certain portion of the duty (see Partial CENVAT Credit).
Vendor master data For each of your vendors with the same excise status from a legal perspective, you define an excise duty indicator. You must also specify the vendor type for example, whether the vendor is a manufacturer, a depot, or a first-stage dealer. You must also stipulate if the vendor qualifies as a small-scale industry. For each permutation of plant indicator and vendor indicator, you then create a final excise duty indicator.
Customer master data Similarly, you assign the same excise duty indicator to each of your customers that share the same legal excise status. Again, for each permutation of plant indicator and customer indicator, you then create a final excise duty indicator.
Excise tax rate For every chapter ID and final excise duty indicator, you maintain the rate of excise duty.
If your business only qualifies for partial CENVAT credit, you must customize your system accordingly. Let us consider an example to illustrate how the system determines which rate of excise duty to apply to a material. Assume you are posting a sale of ball bearings to a customer. The system automatically determines the rate of excise duty as follows: 1. Looks up the customer master data to see what status you have assigned the customer. Let's assume you've assigned the customer status 3. 2. Looks up the plant master data to see what status you have assigned the plant. Similarly, your plant has status 2.
3.
4.
The system looks up the table under Excise Indicator for Plant and Customer to see what the final excise duty indictor is for customer status 3 and plant status 2: It is 7. The system determines the chapter ID of the ball bearing for the plant.
53
5.
Finally, the system looks up the table under Excise Tax Rate to see what rate of duty applies to chapter ID 1000.01 under status 7.
Chapter ID Whether the material can be sent to subcontractors (see Subcontracting) The material type This denotes, for example, whether the material is a raw material, a capital good this affects the CENVAT process or if it is a finished good on which excise has been paid, to be covered by the Update of RG 1 and Part I Registers.
Whether you accept more than one goods receipt per excise invoice, and if so, whether the excise duty should be credited to the CENVAT account immediately a goods receipt is posted (multiple credit) or not until all the goods receipts have arrived (single credit) (see Multiple Goods Receipts for a Single Excise Invoice)
This information is valid for a given plant. If the information is valid for all of your plants, however, leave the Plant field blank. Material Assessable Value On this screen, you maintain the net dealer price and the assessable value of all materials that you send to subcontractors or for any other issue. These values serve as the excise base value when the materials are issued, and tell the system how much excise duty to reverse from your CENVAT account. CENVAT Determination On this screen, you specify which raw materials are used to produce which finished (or semifinished) goods. The system uses this information to determine whether it you can claim a CENVAT credit for a material.
54
For each rate, specify until which date it applies. You can also maintain the additional excise duty and special excise duty in ad valorem form, should any apply. If you need to give these rates as a fixed sum, use the Quantity Based AED and SED screen. Additional Excise Rate On this screen, maintain any cess applicable. Exceptional Material Excise Rate On this screen, maintain any exceptions that apply to the excise rates that you have defined. Exceptions can apply to a single material from all vendors, of to a single material from one vendor only. If you have an exceptional rate for a customermaterial combination, you can maintain it here as well. Sales Tax Setoff Percentages On this screen, maintain the percentage of local sales tax on inputs that you can deduct against LST on outputs. The setoff amount is deducted from the inventory valuation of the material. Currently very few states, for example, Maharashtra and Gujarat, participate in this scheme.
Excise registration number (and the range, division, and collectorate in which this is located) Central sales tax (CST) number Local sales tax (LST) registration number Permanent account number (PAN)
In order for the system to be able to calculate which rate of excise duty to apply on purchases from the vendor, you must also:

o o
SSI Rates
What its SSI status is (which you must first have defined under SSI rates, see below) Whether or not it is participating in the CENVAT scheme
On this screen, you define the excise rates that apply to purchases from vendors that qualify as SSIs. You define one status for each band (or "slab") of sales volume provided for by the law, and for each SSI status, the rates of excise duty that applies to that slab under the two schemes (see Excise Duty for Small-Scale Industries). Excise Indicator for Plant and Vendor On this screen, you define the final excise duty indicator (for more information about how this works, see Determination of Excise Duty Rates).
Excise registration number (and the range, division, and collectorate in which this is located) Central sales tax (CST) number Local sales tax (LST) registration number Permanent account number (PAN)
In order for the system to be able to calculate which rate of excise duty to apply on sales to the customer, you must also assign it a customer excise duty status (for more information about how this works, see Determination of Excise Duty Rates). Excise Indicator for Plant and Customer On this screen, you define the final excise duty indicator (for more information about how this works, see Determination of Excise Duty Rates).
56
Central sales tax (CST) number Local sales tax (LST) registration number Permanent account number (PAN)
In order for the system to be able to calculate which rate of excise duty to apply on purchases for this plant, you must also assign it a plant excise duty status (for more information about how this works, see Determination of Excise Duty Rates). Excise Indicator for Plant and Vendor On this screen, you define the final excise duty indicator (for more information about how this works, see Determination of Excise Duty Rates). Excise Indicator for Plant and Customer On this screen, you define the final excise duty indicator (for more information about how this works, see Determination of Excise Duty Rates).
o o
Assigned the vendor the SSI status that you have just defined. If the vendor participates in the CENVAT scheme (see below), entered X (Vendor participating in CENVAT scheme).
As far as SSIs are concerned, there are two schemes. Under the first, an SSI can opt out of the CENVAT scheme. In this case, they apply basic excise duty at certain flat rates on all transactions. These rates vary according to their total annual sales.

Process Flow
1. You create a purchase order for the goods you want and send it to the vendor.
After a few days, the vendor sends you the goods together with an excise invoice.
2. When the goods arrive at your company, the warehouseman enters the goods receipt.
The system: o o Creates a material document to record the goods receipt Creates an accounting document to debit the inventory account and credit the GR/IR clearing account:
Note that if you first want to post the goods to blocked stock, for any reason, do so using the standard procedure. The excise clerk then captures the excise invoice as normal.
4. The excise supervisor checks the excise invoice captured by the clerk, makes any changes
necessary, and posts it. The system automatically debits the excise duty to the excise duty accounts and credits the CENVAT clearing account:
It then creates a Part II entry in register RG 23A or 23C to record this posting.
59
standard procedure.
If the excise supervisor has reduced the amount of excise duty that is to be credited to the CENVAT account, the system adds the difference to the material price. The system also creates an accounting document. The document contains debit postings to clear the clearing accounts for goods receipts and CENVAT; and a credit posting to create an open item on the vendor's account:
Alternatives
The above procedure is just one way of using the R/3 System to handle incoming excise invoices. If your business processes differ from the procedure described above, there are a number of alternatives available to you. One-Step Procedure In the procedure described above, the excise clerk captures the excise invoice and the excise supervisor posts it (the two-step procedure). If you want, you can have one person perform both of these activities in a single step, using the transaction under Indirect Taxes Procurement Excise Invoice Incoming Excise Invoice Central Processing Capture/Change/Cancel/Display/Post. Capture Excise Invoice and Goods Receipt Combined Steps 23 involve two different system transactions (goods receipt and excise invoice capture). You can combine these two steps one, if you wish, so that the warehouseman can capture the excise invoice at the same time as he enters the goods receipt (see Goods Receipts and Incoming Excise Invoices Combined). If you want, he can even capture and post the excise invoice at the same time. Capture Excise Invoice Before Goods Receipt In the procedure described above, the goods receipt is entered before the excise invoice. However, your business processes may require you to capture the excise invoice before the goods receipt. When the warehouseman enters the goods receipt, the system adjusts the material value for any changes to the taxes that the clerk has made in the captured excise invoice. An accounting document to debit the inventory account and credit the GR/IR clearing account is created.
Enter a tax code. If you do not, the system will not calculate excise duty or display it on the excise invoice create screen. If you use condition-based excise determination, make sure you enter the tax code that you have defined for this purrpose.
60
Select GR-based IV, to activate goods receipt-based invoice verification. During invoice verification this will enable the system to update the material value to allow for any discrepancies between the taxes in the purchase order and the taxes stated by the vendor in the excise invoice.
The purchase order shows the excise duty and sales tax that you expect to pay. The taxes are calculated in the purchase order according to the vendor, material, and tax code.
You enter the number of the excise invoice, if it is available The system automatically creates an entry in Part I of the excise register RG 23A or RG 23C
This procedure only applies if the warehouseman is not entitled to enter excise invoices himself (see Goods Movements and Excise Documents Combined). Prerequisites You have specified whether you want the system to create a Part I entry when you post goods receipts to blocked stock, for stock transport orders, and to consumption stock. You do so in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements India Basic Settings Maintain Excise Groups. Procedure

2.
The vendor ships the goods to you. When the goods arrive in India, they go through customs. The customs officers issue a bill of entry for the goods, which is in effect an invoice for the CVD on the goods. Once they have inspected the goods, they send them on to you.
3.
The goods arrive at your plant, together with the bill of entry. In order to record the bill of entry in the system:
a.
The excise clerk enters an invoice for the bill of entry In Accounts Payable (FI-AP), the system creates a new vendor item for the CVD at the customs office. The item is offset to the CVD clearing account.

You
create a subcontract order for the goods that you want to subcontract.
You create a transfer posting order for the materials that are to be sent to the vendor. This document is, however, for your own use only. You create a subcontracting challan on the basis of the transfer posting order.
66
5.
6.
The excise department reconciles the goods receipt against the challan, thereby accounting for the return of the materials that you have sent for subcontracting. The challans here include those that have been captured online at the time of goods receipt and those entered manually.
7. 8.
You create a list of the outstanding challans. You complete the challan. If a subcontractor fails to return all the materials within the time allotted, you have to scrap the material by specifying it as such in the bill of material for the parent material then assigning the bill of material to the subcontracting purchase order. If the scrap generated is not returned by the subcontractor, excise duty relevant to the scrap generated has to be paid. If this scrap is returned after the duty has been paid, an excise journal voucher should be created to reverse the excise duty paid.
Alternatives The procedure given in step 5 shows how to enter the goods receipt using the old Goods Movement transaction. If you want to use the new Goods Movement transaction, MIGO, see Entering Goods Receipts and Subcontracting Challans Together.
Subcontracting Challan
A document that you use to issue and track subcontracting work. It allows you to make sure that all the materials you have sent to the subcontractor for processing are returned. The challan is also widely known as the 57F4 challan, after the law under which it was defined up until the 2000 budget. This law has now been superceded by a new one, 57AC. You create challans from transfer orders to accompany any materials that you send to subcontractors under rule 57AC. In this respect, they are an extended form of delivery note, with additional information about the excise duty on each material that you have supplied. Materials that are not liable to excise duty do not have to be included in the challan. As the subcontractors return the finished goods to you, you record the returns in the challan, to make sure that all are returned within the allotted time limit. If the finished goods returned to you by the subcontractor are of substandard quality, you can also create a subcontracting challan from the returns order. The challan consists of a header and line items. The header, in addition to organizational data, allows you to enter: Preprinted number Additional data Identification marks
67
Furthermore, each challan has two numbers, an internal document number and a challan number, which the system assigns to the challan when you save it. From a business perspective, this is the most important number. Each challan also has a status, which shows you what stage in processing it is at. The line items are copied across from the transfer posting when you create the challan. You can also enter additional data for each item.
Change a challan
You can only change challans with the status Posted. Furthermore, you can only change data that relates to the challan printout. If you need to change accounting data, you must delete the challan and create a new one.

If you have accounted for all of the materials in a challan, the system sets its status to Fully Reconciled. In this case, you can complete the challan. If you have accounted for only some of the materials, it sets the status to Assigned. In this case, you must assign the remaining quantity of materials to another goods receipt later on. Scrap generated is assigned to a challan only if the percentage component scrap is specified in the bill of material for the parent material and this bill of material is assigned to the subcontracting purchase order.
Deleting Assignments
You follow this procedure if you have assigned the wrong challan to a goods receipt or other material document (see Reconciling Quantities). Prerequisites You have:

Reversal of CENVAT Credit If the allotted number of days elapses and the subcontractor has not returned some or any of the materials in the challan (status: Posted or Assigned), you must reverse the excise duty that you have credited to your CENVAT account. The scrap has to be returned by the subcontractor. If it is not returned, the excise duty for the scrap has to be reversed. This function sets the status to Reversed. From here, you have two options:
If you do note expect the subcontractor to return the materials, you can complete it. If you do expect the subcontractor to return at least some of the materials, you can leave it as it is for the time being. Then, when the materials arrive, you can recredit the excise duty to the account (see below).
Recredit If a subcontractor returns materials after the return date, you can recredit the excise duty credit that you have reversed.

Reference Documents
When you capture an incoming excise invoice, the first piece of information that you enter is the reference document, in the top line. Immediately you enter the reference document, the system copies all the appropriate header data and line items from it into the excise invoice, so that there is less typing for you to do and less likelihood of making errors. By specifying the reference document, you also ensure that the excise invoice is properly integrated into the SAP document flow. Features There are two scenarios where you might be sent an excise invoice:
External procurement, where a vendor sends you some goods accompanied by an excise invoice Stock transport orders, where another of your businesss plants sends goods to your plant, again, accompanied by an excise invoice
Use in External Procurement In the external procurement process, there are several types of documents that you can use as a reference documents. You specify the document type in the top line. If you have already posted a goods receipt for the deliver, use the goods receipt as the reference document in preference to any other documents related to the delivery.

The R/3 System generates all the necessary entries in the register, and to prepare a copy of the register. Set the material type to Finished Goods in the material masters that you use for finished goods.
Register RG 1 Entries
The R/3 System creates all register RG 1 entries automatically. In most cases, the system does not generate an RG 1 entry at runtime. It generates any missing entries when you execute the Register Update program (see below). It assigns all entries a serial number. Customizing If you want the system to generate entries for goods issues entered using the standard Goods Movement transaction, MIGO, specify in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements India Basic Settings Maintain Excise Groups.
Day-to-Day Activities The system does not automatically generate entries for goods receipts from production orders. You have to generate these yourself (see below). Nor does it generate entries for goods issues, except for goods issues entered using the Goods Movements transaction if you have made the Customizing settings described above. Periodic Processing Generate the missing entries once a day using the Register Update program. Reporting Prepare a copy of the register as described under Creation of Excise Registers.
102
Register RG 23A/23C
A record of receipts and issues of excisable materials, as kept by manufacturing plants. The register consists of two parts:
Part I shows the quantities of the materials. Part II shows the amounts of excise duty on the materials, and how much you have transferred to the CENVAT accounts.
Previously, manufacturers were required to keep two separate registers, RG 23A and RG 23C for raw materials and capital goods respectively. This is no longer the case, but the distinction still remains in the R/3 System. The R/3 System generates all the necessary entries in the register. You can prepare a copy of the register as required.
Part I Entries
The R/3 System creates Part I entries for all excisable goods movements. Day-to-Day Activities When you enter a goods receipt for excisable materials, the system automatically asks you if you want to create the Part I entry in Register RG 23A or RG 23C. If so, the system generates a Part I entry. If not, it does not, but you can generate all missing Part I entries later. The system automatically enters the excise invoice number in the Part I entry. If the excise clerk has already captured the excise invoice when the warehouseman enters the goods receipt, the system enters the excise invoice number in the Part I entry immediately. If the warehouseman enters the goods receipt before the excise clerk enters the excise invoice, the Part I entry does not contain a link to the excise invoice number. However, the system updates the excise invoice number automatically when the excise clerk captures the excise invoice later on. The system does not automatically generate Part I entries for goods issues of excisable materials, with two exceptions:
When you enter a goods issue for vendor returns When you enter a goods issue for stock transport orders for plants, but only when you use the Goods Movements transaction
Periodic Processing Generate the missing entries once a day using the Update of Registers RG 1 and RG 23 (Part I) program. Reporting Prepare a copy of the registers as described under Creation of Excise Registers.
Register RG 23D
A record of receipts and issues of excisable materials, as kept by depots. In procurement, when the warehouseman posts a goods receipt, the system creates a register entry.
103
The RG 23D entry contains a separate line item for each material in the goods receipt, and each line item has its own folio number. Later that day, a second lot of goods is delivered. Again, the warehouseman enters the goods receipt in the system, and the system creates the RG 23D entry automatically.
104
This is the second RG 23D entry, so the serial number is 0002. The folio numbers start at the next available number, in the example, 004. Later on, a sales clerk enters a sales order. When the excise clerk selects the RG 23D entries to go with the goods issue, the system generates the following RG 23D entry:
Serial Numbers
The system automatically numbers all entries in the following registers with a serial number:
Each excise group defines its own number range intervals. Customizing Set up the number ranges in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements India Tools Number Ranges. Day-to-Day Activities

The system determines the excise and other taxes on your sales. You can create outgoing excise invoices, customized to your own requirements, and make the appropriate accounting postings. The system offers functions for domestic and export sales from factories and depots, including exports under excise regulations. All goods movements are recorded in the appropriate excise registers, including register RG 23D. You can remit the excise duty using the delivered functions.
Country Template The country template for India comes with sample pricing procedures, including all taxes, and settings for automatic account determination to the appropriate excise accounts.
120
The excise invoice lists the goods that you have issued and states how much excise duty applies. Your customer uses the excise invoice to claim back the excise that it has paid from the excise authorities. In the R/3 System, there are three different procedures for creating excise invoices
Sales direct from the factory This procedure is for when you sell manufactured goods straight from the factory at which they were produced, in which case you levy excise duty when the goods leave the factory on their way to the customer. If, when you send the goods to the customer, you enclose the commercial invoice, you create the excise invoice with reference to the commercial invoice. If you want to send the commercial invoice after you have dispatched the goods, however, you create the excise invoice with reference to a pro forma commercial invoice. For more information about these procedures, see Sales from Factories. As well as creating excise invoices individually, you can also create them in batches (see Creation of Excise Invoices in Batches).
Sales from depots A depot is a site at which the goods are stored, away from the factory at which they were produced. In this procedure, you have to levy the excise duty when you transfer the goods from the factory to the depot, and then make sure this is passed on to the customer when it makes a purchase. For more information, see Sales from Depots.
Sales (other goods movements) Some other goods movements may also require you to create an excise invoice with reference to other documents. The R/3 System offers separate functions for these purposes (see Other Outward Movements).
Numbering of Excise Invoices Outgoing excise invoices have two numbers: an internal document number, which is assigned immediately you create an excise invoice; and an excise invoice number, which is not assigned until you have verified and posted it. As far as the excise invoice number is concerned, you have to number your outgoing excise invoices in sequential order, starting each year on 1 April. You must notify the excise authority of the jurisdiction of the invoicing location. The serial number must be printed on each page of the excise invoice. Each number range is governed by a series group. You must create at least one series group in order to be able to number the excise invoices. If you need more than one number range, you must create the corresponding number of series groups. You do so in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements India Basic Settings Maintain Series Groups. Number of Line Items Per Excise Invoice Some states allow you to include only a limited number of items for each page of an excise invoice (for example, if the excise invoices are to be printed on prenumbered forms). You can customize the system so that it prints the excise invoice accordingly, in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements India Basic Settings Maintain Excise Registrations.
121
4. Pricing
123
JINFAC (Sales from manufacturing plants) JINEXP (Export sales) JINDEP (Sales from depots) JINSTK (Stock transfers)
These pricing procedures determine the net price (or the assessable value, if there is one) and then calculate all forms of excise duties and sales taxes on the goods. Excise Duties For each form of excise duty, there are three separate condition types as follows: Excise duty Basic Additional Special Cess Ad valorem JEXP JEAP JESP JCEP Specific JEXQ JEAQ JESQ JCEQ Total* JEXT JEAT JEST JCET
* These condition types show, for example, the total basic excise duty on the goods (ad valorem duty plus specific duty). It is the values in these condition types that the system uses in follow-on documents. All of these condition types are discount surcharge conditions and are posted using the accounting key EXD. The excise conditions are determined using the access sequence JEXC. This access sequence contains the following condition tables, so that you can create excise condition records for all of the following combinations: Table 362 357 358 371 369 372 Conditions Country, chapter ID* Country, plant, chapter ID Country, plant, chapter ID, material Country, plant, chapter ID, ship-to party Country, plant, chapter ID, customer tax classification Sales organization, reference document and item
* The chapter ID is stored in the control code field. When you enter a material's chapter ID in the material master, the system copies the chapter ID to the control code field. When you create a condition record, the field name is control code.
124
Along with the delivery In this case, the document flow would be OR (standard sales order type) LF (standard delivery type) F2 (invoice).

The R/3 System can automatically create an outgoing excise invoice for you immediately you post a commercial invoice (or a pro forma invoice) for a customer sale. This function applies to excise invoices for sales from factories only. Customizing Activate the function in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements India Basic Settings Maintain Excise Groups.

Specify which excise group and series group the excise invoices are to be created for, in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements India Business Transactions Outgoing Excise Invoices Maintain Default Series Groups and Excise Groups. Day-to-Day Activities When you post an invoice, the system creates an excise invoice. All the information that it needs to create the excise invoice is provided either by the invoice or by the Customizing settings that you have made. It also determines the excise invoice type automatically.
127
Some customers may be liable to excise duty at reduced rates or exempt from it altogether (for example, customers abroad). Such businesses must provide you with a copy of their exemption forms in order to claim their exemption. Activities If you make a sale to a customer that is in possession of an exemption form, you have to record the form number in the sales order. The system then automatically applies the appropriate rate of excise duty. When you create the sales order, enter the form, using the customer tax classification fields. Based on the customer tax classification status, you can use different excise rates for a sale transaction. If the form has not been submitted by the time you create the pro forma excise invoice, the excise value will be recalculated at the normal rate.
Export-Oriented Units:-
Any sales that you make to export-oriented units (EOUs) require special treatment by the SAP System. Prerequisites You have maintained a zero-rate excise duty indicator for customers that qualify as 100% EOUs. Activities When you come to create the excise invoice, the excise value is zero in the pro forma excise invoice document. No excise duty is debited to the CENVAT account, and so no accounting entries are generated. However, the sale is marked as a deemed export, and the system generates an outgoing excise invoice. Even though the excise duty is zero, when you print the excise invoice, the system calculates the duty for the purposes of printing.
You use this report to create excise invoices for batches of invoices and batches of pro forma excise invoices, instead of creating each one individually (see Sales from Factories). The excise invoices are then created in the background. Features To access the report, from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Indirect Taxes Sales/Outbound Movements Excise Invoice For Sales Order Batch Utilization.

Excise Duty Utilization When you create an excise invoice, the system allows you to display the information about the excise duty, including which CENVAT accounts the excise will be debited to. To access this function, choose . If a company defaults in the fortnightly payment of CENVAT, the excise collectorate can enforce an immediate payment of excise. Alternatively, you may have excess CENVAT credit and want to pay the duty immediately and not wait for a fortnight. This is also the case for some export removals where you claim the refund from DGFTA, in which case you need to pay the duty immediately.
130
Excise details This shows you the excise invoice type, which you can change if necessary by choosing you how much excise duty will be charged on the sale. . It also shows
Balance utilization This shows you which CENVAT accounts the excise duty will be debited to. The system automatically proposes which CENVAT accounts it is to debit the excise duty to. It first takes the RG 23 accounts, and if there is not enough credit to cover it, it debits the remainder to the personal ledger account (PLA). The cess component of excise can only be taken from the PLA.
If immediate utilization is active for a series group, you can change the default utilization proposal. You can decide from which register to pay the amount. When you save the invoice, the system generates Part II entries in the appropriate registers. These excise invoices are not listed further during fortnightly payment of CENVAT. If immediate utilization is off for the series group, the system proposes the excise duty values directly in the RG 23A fields, but the postings are made to intermediate accounts for excise duty. The system does not create any Part II entries. Entries are posted into a dispatch register. When you then run the fortnightly payment program, the system picks up these invoices and allows payment of CENVAT. For information about debiting the excise duty to a different company, see Intercompany Excise Duty Utilization

Set the excise invoice type to Deemed, Bond, or No bond. Choose Calculate Tax. The system recalculates the excise duty according to the excise invoice type (see below). To do so, it translates the assessable value into the local currency as at the excise invoice date. What happens next depends on the excise invoice type:
Exports under bond The system sets the excise duty to zero and generates an outgoing excise invoice. It does not generate any entries for the Part II register. The excise invoice is created with an export excise invoice number.
Deemed exports
131
Nonbonded exports The system applies the tax code defined in Customizing for Logistics General, under Taxes on Goods Movements India Basic Settings Determination of Excise Duty Maintain Excise Defaults, and calculates the excise duty as normal. Again, the excise invoice is created with an export excise invoice number.
Excise on Inter-company Billing Documents The SAP System allows you to create an excise invoice for intercompany billing documents. For example, assume one company code places a sales order, and the goods are delivered to another. The first company has to create an excise invoice, in this scenario, with reference to the intercompany billing document.

If some of the values in an A certificate are incorrect, you can make the values zero so that they do not have an impact on the final excise value. Once an A certificate is used for removals then it cannot be changed. Save additional excise entry. The system creates an entry in register RG 23D. Folio number generation must be active for you to make use of this supplementary invoice functionality at depot.

In addition, you can create an excise invoice without reference to any document at all. Prerequisites You have specified, per excise group, whether you want to create these excise invoices in one or two steps (see below). You do so in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements India Basic Settings Maintain Excise Groups. You have also specified the maximum number of items allowed per excise invoice, in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Taxes on Goods Movements India Basic Settings Maintain Excise Registrations. Features Depending on your Customizing settings, you create excise invoices in a single step or in two steps, as follows:
In the two-step procedure, the excise clerk first creates the excise invoice, but no postings are made. An excise supervisor then verifies that the invoice is correct and, if so, posts it. If the excise clerks are more experienced, you may want to use the one-step procedure, which is quicker, but more prone to error. In this case, when you create an excise invoice, the system automatically posts it in the background.
Note that the functions for creating and canceling these excise invoices are different from those for other excise invoices.

You must create an ARE document for all goods that you export under these schemes. You use the same function to process all ARE documents. For information about how to use the function in general, and which features are common to all ARE documents, see ARE Documents. Under Exports under Excise Regulations, following are worth discussing: Exports Under Bond Exports Under Claim for Rebate Deemed Exports ARE Documents Form Tracking
(a) Exports under Bond:One of the ways of exporting goods without paying basic excise duty is to obtain an excise bond from the excise authorities and then fill out an ARE-1 document to go with every export. Carry out the IMG activities in Customizing for Logistics General, under Tax on Goods Movements India Business Transactions Exports Under Excise Regulations Exports and Printouts of ARE Documents. Enter your excise bonds in the system. In order to qualify for an exemption from excise duty, all exports must be accompanied by the appropriate paperwork, including an ARE-1 document, and you must complete the export within the export period. To process and track ARE-1s, use the ARE Documents functions, following the process described under ARE-1 Processing. You can only issue an ARE-1 under a bond. The system automatically keeps track of the bond balance. There are two ad-hoc reports that you can use for tracking bonds and ARE-1s: Bond Summary Report and Aging Analysis for ARE Documents. There are two statutory reports that you prepare at least once a month, Pro Forma of Running Bond Account and Statement Regarding Export of Excisable Goods.
140
Excise Bond A document that effectively licenses a manufacturing plant to remove goods from its premises without paying basic excise duty, on condition that the goods are then exported. An excise bond covers a fixed amount of excise duty. The excise duty of the goods exported under bond cannot exceed the bond value. In the R/3 System, the term "excise bond" also covers letters of undertaking, and all of the excise bond functions apply equally to letters of undertaking, unless stated otherwise. When you obtain a bond from the excise department, enter it in the system. The system numbers each bond automatically. When you assign an ARE-1 to a bond, the system automatically warns you of any reservations that have already been made against the bond. The system keeps track of the bond balance for you. When you post an ARE-1, the bond balance decreases automatically. In the case of running bonds, the balance increases again when you close the ARE-1. Once an excise bond is no longer of any use to you, for example, if it expires or if you have exhausted a fixed bond, you can close it. This prevents any users from using it afterwards. You can use the SAP System to prepare two statutory reports, the Pro Forma of Running Bond Account and the Statement Regarding Export of Excisable Goods. One further report, the Bond Summary Report, gives you an overview of all of your bonds.
Bond Numbering When you create an excise bond, the system automatically assigns it an internal bond number. Each bond also has an official bond number. Maintain the number range object for the internal bond number in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Tools Number Ranges. When you enter an excise bond, you enter the official bond number manually. When you save the bond, the system automatically assigns it a new internal bond number.
Bond Balance Each excise bond only covers a limited amount of basic excise duty, the bond value. Every time you post an ARE-1, the system reduces the bond balance automatically. Every time you post an ARE-1 under a fixed bond, the system debits the excise duty stated on the ARE-1 to the bond, which reduces the bond balance. When the balance reaches zero, the bond is exhausted. Running bonds, on the other hand, are automatically replenished: Once an export is complete and the excise department sends you confirmation that the ARE-1 is correct, the system automatically credits the excise duty back to the bond (but see also Fast Credit). You can check the bond balance at any time in the bond master or the Bond Summary Report. If you want to check the debits and credits on a running bond, use the Pro Forma of Running Bond Account.
141
Reservations The system records the total amount of excise duty from ARE-1s that you have created (but not yet posted) under a given bond. This reservation amount is for information only. It serves to warn you, when you create an ARE-1, that other clerks have already created other ARE-1s under a bond and that they intend to post them under this bond as well. When you create a new ARE-1 in the R/3 System, you specify which bond the ARE-1 is covered by. When you do so, the system displays the bond's reservation amount. If the reservation amount is already over the bond balance, you might want to use a different bond, if another one is available. But since the reservation amount is for information only, the decision is up to you.

(b) Exports under Claim for Rebate:If you have not obtained an excise bond, you must pay any excise duty liable when removing goods from your premises for export. However, you can claim a rebate for the excise duty once you have completed the export if you fill out an ARE-1 to go with the export. Customizing Carry out the IMG activities in Customizing for Logistics General, under Tax on Goods Movements India Business Transactions Exports Under Excise Regulations Exports and Printouts of ARE-Documents. Day-to-Day Activities In order to qualify for a rebate on the excise duty, all exports must be accompanied by the appropriate paperwork, including an ARE-1 document, and you must complete the export within the export period. To process and track these documents, use the ARE Documents functions, following the process described under ARE-1 Processing. There is an ad-hoc report that you can use for tracking ARE-1s, Aging Analysis for ARE Documents.
ARE-1 Processing This procedure describes how you process ARE-1s for exports under claim for rebate. Prerequisites You have received a sales order from a customer located abroad. In the R/3 System, you have already created the delivery and the outgoing excise invoice. In the excise invoice, you have set the excise invoice type to Export Under Claim for Rebate.
149
Process Flow 1. The excise clerk creates an ARE-1. He then calls the local excise department and asks them to send an excise officer to check the goods. 2. The excise officer comes and checks that the goods match what is on the ARE-1. He fills out Part A of the form (Certification by the Central Excise Office). The clerk then posts the ARE-1 and prints out the requisite number of copies. The excise officer signs the ARE-1s and takes one copy with him. 3. The shipping department sends the goods to be exported, together with the excise invoice and the ARE-1. Before the goods can leave the country, they have to go through the customs office, for example, at the airport or at the port. 4. When the goods arrive at customs, the customs officer checks whether the excise invoice and the ARE-1 match the goods. If he finds that there are fewer goods than stated on the ARE-1, he enters the shortfall in the ARE-1. He then fills out Part B of the ARE-1 (Certification by the Customs Officer) and sends it back to the excise clerk. One of the copies is in a sealed envelope. 5. When the excise clerk receives the ARE-1, he updates the ARE-1 in the R/3 System. He fills out the various certification dates in the ARE-1 (for example, the date when the ARE-1 arrived back at your company). If the customs officer noted a shortfall in the quantity of goods, the excise clerk enters the shortfall as well. Later, when you come to claim the rebate, you will not be able to claim back the excise duty on the shortfall. 6. The clerk sends the ARE-1 in the sealed envelope to the excise department. The excise officer cross-checks this copy of the ARE-1 with his own copy. When he is satisfied that everything is correct, he sends the excise clerk a final confirmation. 7. When the excise clerk receives the confirmation, he closes the ARE-1.
The ARE-1 is now complete and you can apply for the rebate on the excise duty that you have paid.

Master Data Enter your customers' deemed export licenses in the system. Day-to-Day Activities In order to qualify for an exemption from excise duty, all deemed exports must be accompanied by the appropriate paperwork, including an ARE-3 document, and you must complete the deemed export within the rewarehousing period. To process and track ARE-3s, use the ARE Documents functions, following the process described under ARE-3 Processing.
154
Deemed Export License A license issued by the excise authorities under which an exporter can procure goods from a manufacturer without payment of basic excise duty. The license is not a blanket exemption. It only applies to purchases of specific quantity or value of specific goods from a specific vendor, for example, 20 personal computers from Computer World Pvt. Ltd. Master Data When your customers obtain a deemed export license from the excise authorities, they send you a copy. You enter your customers' licenses in the system; the system numbers each license automatically. If, later on, a customer gets an extension on the expiry date of the license from the excise authorities, you can enter it there as well. When a license is exhausted, you close it. Day-to-Day Activities When you sell a customer some goods that are covered by a license, you create an ARE-3 to go with the goods shipment. In the ARE-3, you specify which license the goods are covered by. The system reduces the license balance accordingly. When the license balance is exhausted, you can close it. Reporting You can keep track of your customers' licenses using the Excise Bonding License Summary.
License Numbering When you create a deemed export license, the system automatically assigns it an internal license number. Each license also has an official license number. Customizing Maintain the number range object for the internal license number in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Tools Number Ranges. Master Data When you enter a license, you enter the official license number manually. When you save the license, the system automatically assigns it an internal license number.
License Balances Each deemed export license only covers a limited quantity of goods or goods to a limited value, depending on its quantification method.
155
License Validity Deemed export licenses are only valid for a limited period of time. The system ensures that you can only use licenses if they are valid, and allows you to extend their validity period if required. Master Data When you enter a license, you enter the validity period as stated on the original document. If a license expires and the excise authorities grant your customer an extension on the validity period, enter the extension date in the license master. Note that this field only appears once the license expires. Otherwise, you close the license. Day-to-Day Activities The system will not allow you to assign an invalid license to an ARE-3.

ARE-3 Processing This procedure describes how you process ARE-3s for deemed exports. Prerequisites Your customer has supplied you with a copy of its deemed export license and you have entered the license in the system. You have received a sales order from the customer for goods covered by this license. In the R/3 System, you have already created the delivery and the outgoing excise invoice. In the excise invoice, you have set the excise invoice type to Deemed Exports. Process Flow 1. The export clerk creates an ARE-3 and, when he is ready, posts it. He also prints out the ARE-3 and encloses a copy with the delivery. 2. 3. The shipping department sends the goods to the customer, together with the excise invoice and the ARE-3. When the customer's warehouseman receives the goods, he checks whether the excise invoice and the ARE-3 match the goods. If he finds that there are fewer goods than stated on the ARE-3, he enters the shortfall in the ARE-3. He then fills out Part 2 of the ARE-3 (Certificate of Warehousing by the Consignee) and sends it back to the excise clerk. 4. When the excise clerk receives the ARE-3, he updates the ARE-3 in the R/3 System. He fills out the various certification dates in the ARE-3 (for example, the date when the ARE-3 arrived back at your company). If the warehouseman noted a shortfall in the quantity of goods, the excise clerk enters the shortfall as well. Since the whereabouts of the missing goods cannot be accounted for, they no longer qualify for exemption from basic excise duty. You must therefore pay the excise duty on the shortfall, plus interest, backdated to the date when you removed the goods from your premises. The clerk specifies which excise registers to pay the excise duty from. The process is now complete.

(d) ARE Documents:This function is for use by excise clerks and excise supervisors, so that they can create and process ARE-1s and ARE-3s used to execute exports and deemed exports. The following documentation describes the functions common to all types of exports under excise regulations. For information about the individual procedures involved, see Exports Under Bond, Exports Under Claim for Rebate, and Deemed Exports. To access the ARE Documents function, from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Indirect Taxes Sales/Outbound Movements Exports Under Excise Regulations . There are several different transactions under this menu path. For more information about the different transactions available, see Transaction Configuration. Integration This function allows you to create ARE documents using outgoing excise invoices as a reference document, which in turn you create on the basis of deliveries. As such it is integrated with Sales and Distribution (SD) and Materials Management (MM). Any entries that the system makes in relation to an ARE document, in Part II of the excise registers RG 23 A and C, are also shown in the transaction. It is thus integrated with Financial Accounting (FI).
162
Top Line This is where you specify what document you want to process. When you create an ARE document, you specify the reference document in this area. When you process an ARE document that you have already created, you enter the ARE document number. Header Data This area consists of four tabs, each with information that relates to the whole of the excise document. Tab Document Details Total Duties Use Basic header data, such as the internal and official ARE numbers and the document status.

Transaction Configuration
You can execute the ARE Documents function using different transaction codes. Each transaction code controls how users can process ARE documents and which reference documents they can use.
164
The central processing transactions allow users to carry out all functions on the ARE document and are suited to a system administrator, for example. The individual processing transactions restrict the users to specific processing modes only (for example, creating and displaying ARE documents, or updating and displaying ARE documents). You can assign these transactions to excise clerks or supervisors.
Customizing If the delivered settings do not meet your requirements, you can change them in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Business Transactions Exports Under Excise Regulations Transaction Configuration.
ARE Document Numbering In the R/3 System, each ARE document has two numbers: an internal number, which is the number that the system uses to identify the ARE document, and an official number, which corresponds to the serial numbers assigned to you by the excise department for the ARE document forms. Customizing To activate internal numbering, maintain the number range object J_1IINTNUM in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Tools Number Ranges. To activate official numbering, maintain the number range object J_1IARE1 for ARE-1s, and J_1IARE3 for ARE-3s. Create a separate number range for each series group. Day-to-Day Activities When you create an ARE document, the system automatically assigns it an internal document number. The system only assigns the ARE document an official number when you post it. Both numbers are displayed on the Doc. Details tab. You cannot change either of the numbers manually.
Automatic Address Determination When you print ARE documents, they must show the address of your local excise department and the customs department that will be handling the export. Customizing Enter the name and address of every excise department and customs department that you have dealings with in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Master Data Maintain Postal Addresses. Define a default local excise department address for each series group, in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Master Data Maintain Series Groups. Day-to-Day Activities
165
Long Texts The forms that ARE-1s and ARE-3s are printed on contain spaces for various pieces of information, for example, the mode of transport or the export seal number. When you create an ARE document, you can enter this information using the long text function and it will be printed at the appropriate positions. Customizing Country Version India comes with long texts already customized to go with the ARE-1 and ARE-3 forms. However, if you need to, you can define other long texts in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Tools Long Texts. Day-to-Day Activities When you create an ARE document and you want to enter a long text for it, on the Additional Data tab, choose Long Text. In the dialog box, double-click the sort of long text that you want to enter, and type the text in the field next to it. When you print out the document, the texts appear at the appropriate positions.
Printouts of ARE Documents You can print out ARE-1s or ARE-3s on blank A4 paper. The system prints out the entire form with the details filled in from the ARE that you have created. Since multiple copies are required of each ARE document, the system automatically prints out the number of copies needed. Country Version India comes with all the settings you need to print out ARE-1s and ARE-3s in the appropriate format. Two SAPscript forms are provided, one for ARE-1s and one for ARE-3s. These forms use the same printing program and output type. The output type is J1IB. Customizing Check the output type settings provided in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Business Transactions Excise Bonding Exports Under Excise Regulations Printouts of ARE Documents. Assign the output type to the ARE-1s and ARE-3s, in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Business Transactions Excise Bonding Exports Under Excise Regulations Make Settings for ARE-1 Procedure and Deemed Exports Make Settings for ARE-3 Procedure.

166
When you post an ARE, select Print ARE Document on the Document Details tab. Then, when you save the ARE, the system prints out the number of copies that you have specified.
Export Periods and Re-warehousing Periods Exports under bond must be completed within the export period defined by the excise authorities, otherwise you no longer qualify for the exemption on the basic excise duty. Exports under claim for rebate must also be completed within this time or you will not be able to reclaim the duty. Similarly, deemed exports must also be completed within the allotted rewarehousing period. The system keeps track of these periods for you automatically. Customizing Enter the export period in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Business Transactions Exports Under Excise Regulations Exports. Enter the rewarehousing period in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Business Transactions Exports Under Excise Regulations Deemed Exports. Day-to-Day Activities If an ARE-1 or ARE-3 reaches the end of the period without being closed, you can apply to the excise department for an extension.
If the extension is granted, enter the extension date in the ARE document (see Extending Export Periods and Rewarehousing Periods). If not, you must repay the excise duty that you posted to the CENVAT account for the goods. To do so, reverse the ARE-1 or reverse the ARE-3.
You can track which AREs are coming to the end of their export or rewarehousing periods using the Aging Analysis for ARE Documents.
Extending Export Periods and Re-warehousing Periods If you have not closed an ARE document within the prescribed export period or rewarehousing period and you have obtained an extension from the excise department, you can enter the new date in the document. Procedure

Interest Calculation Whenever you have to pay the excise duty originally exempted by an ARE document, you also have to pay interest on that amount, backdated to the date on which you removed the goods from your premises. The system calculates the amount of interest due automatically. Interest is due whenever you reverse an ARE document (for example, when an ARE-1 exceeds the export period and the excise authorities do not grant you an extension). It is also due when a customs officer updates the quantity of goods on the ARE-1, or a customer updates the quantity of goods on an ARE-3. The applicable interest rates are announced by the excise authorities. Customizing Maintain the interest rates in Customizing for Logistics General, by choosing Tax on Goods Movements India Business Transactions Exports Under Excise Regulations Exports Make Settings for ARE-1 Procedure and Deemed Exports Make Settings for ARE-3 Procedure. Day-to-Day Activities The system automatically calculates interest when:
