3006880 - Brexit: Information about the new TTX2 Access sequence and the new tax-determination cases

Symptom

This KBA shares information about the new TTX2 Access sequence logic and the new tax-determination cases.

Environment

S/4 HANA Cloud

Cause

The new access sequence TTX2 is affecting and appearing because of the so called “ Northern Ireland Protocol”.  That means that as of end of transition period on 31.12.2020.

  • Great Britain becomes a 3rd country. Therefore Trade between Great Britain will be classified as import/export, and not as Intracommunity business anymore
  • North Ireland is part of Great Britain, but will continue to trade with European Country as if it is a EU Member state, e.g. Intra community supply requirements will apply

 

That means that business transactions, involving goods movements having Great Britain as Departure or Destination  country and a departure plant or a ship-to-party in a Northern Ireland district need to have different tax determination.

Using the new access sequence you can apply and reflect the new logic, based on the Northern Ireland specifics. North Ireland is identified using a region code.
