About Smart Tax Adjustments

The Smart Tax Adjustments tool automates tax adjustments for your Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable documents in SAP.

With the Smart Tax Adjustments tool, instead of manually posting adjustments and reviewing tax reports, you can correct tax amounts directly in SAP while keeping Tax Determination synchronized.

How it works

The tool identifies which documents you can adjust, posts the adjustment documents automatically, and updates Tax Determination, reducing manual work and preventing inconsistencies.

When you may need adjustments
  • Exemption certificates are shared after invoicing

  • Transaction data contains errors

  • Tax rules change
