View the status of documents sent to Tax Determination from SAP

The Display Documents for External Tax System tool checks the status or tax data of the documents that were sent from SAP to Tax Determination.

This is a standard tool in SAP that can be accessed from Transaction SE38 by executing the program RFYTXDISPLAY, but there's also a shortcut to this tool in the Cockpit. For more information, visit the SAP Help Portal.

Check document status and taxes

Go to the Cockpit (Transaction /n/SOVOSD/COCKPIT).
Go to Cockpit - Main > External Tax Queue Programs, then click the Execute button next to Display Documents for External Tax System.
Enter the reporting dates of the documents.
You can enter one date, a range, or multiple specific dates. The date format is DD.MM.YYYY.
Select on of the following options in the List type section.
- If you want to check the document status, select Display document status.
- If you want to check the document taxes, select Display document taxes.
Optional: Enter information in the other fields to narrow down the list of documents.
Click Execute.
When the program has finished, you'll see a list of documents that were sent to Tax Determination and their statuses or taxes, depending on which option you selected in Step 4.

Check the queue for force and update calls

When you've completed the steps in Check document status, you'll see a list of documents and their statuses. If all the documents have a green status, there's no issue with the queue. If a document has a yellow or red status, something went wrong and the document was not sent to Tax Determination. To view the queue and manually send the document to Tax Determination, follow these steps.

If a document has a yellow or red status, click the document number (Ref.Doc.No), then click TRFC Queue.
On the qRFC Monitor screen, double-click the queue name.
Click Unlock to process the documents that were not sent to the external tax system.
Click Continue on the Unlock Queue pop-up.
The document will now have a green status, indicating that it was sent to Tax Determination.
