The United Kingdom will leave the European Union on January 1st 2021. New terms of trade will then apply with all EU member states and a special agreement will be in place with regards to Northern Ireland (The Northern Ireland Protocol). This regulation introduces some new administrative processes for traders in Northern Ireland, the UK and the rest of the Europe. To support the new legal requirements, a new logic is introduced to fill the 'Tax indicator for import' (KOMP-TAXIL) when the departure country or destination country is Northern Ireland. This indicator can be used to determine the default tax code from condition records in a Purchase Order.
Note: The contents of the 'Tax indicator: Import' field is determined internally, it is not maintained manually when creating a Purchase Order. The field is visible in the APP 'Change Price Conditions' (MEK2) and can be used for the determination of condition records. This condition record master data, is the priority source for the default tax code in a Purchase Order item (if maintained) see SAP note 501054 for further information. The user can check the value of the 'Tax indicator: Import' field in the pricing analysis of the purchase order item.
As per the note, another common and important source of a default tax code in a Purchase Order is the Purchasing Info Record. Consider your existing Info Record master data in the context of the Northern Ireland Protocol
