In this blog, we'd like to introduce you to one of the things that are new or have been changed in the August 2016 version of SAP Business ByDesign.

Of course you can find more information in the What's New in SAP Business ByDesign documentation, which is available online.

Today, we are going to talk about tax trace for sales order and customer invoice documents.

You can now activate tax trace for customer invoice and sales order documents, which will display trace of the tax decision tree which is used for tax calculation for items within the document. This feature helps you to understand the tax determination method used to calculate tax for items.

You can activate the tax trace in the Pricing tab of customer invoice document, by selecting Activate Tax Trace in Update Pricing menu button under Total Pricing. For sales order document, you can do the same in Pricing and Invoicing tab.
