3774416 - BOP reports F01DGS and F02CMS shows no previous-year transactional data and the XML output only has header - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The Belgium Balance of Payments (BOP) reports F01DGS and F02CMS do not display previous year transactional data and the generated XML contains only the header with no transactional lines.

Summarized figures expected under VAT tax boxes 44, 47, 87, and 88 are not shown.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Run the Belgium BOP reports F01DGS and F02CMS for the reporting year.
2. Compare the report output against the source documents referenced for the previous year that post to VAT boxes 44, 47, 87, and 88.
3. Observe that no transactional data appears in the report output and the XML contains only the header.

The BOP F01DGS/F02CMS reports select only transactions with non-resident business partners (counterparties outside Belgium).

If the source documents have Reporting Country/Region = BE (domestic), they are excluded by design, resulting in an empty XML.

1. Verify eligibility: Confirm that previous-year postings relevant for boxes 44, 47, 87, and 88 involve non-resident counterparties (outside Belgium). Domestic (BE↔BE) transactions are excluded by design.
2. Review items: In the Manage Tax Items for Legal Reporting app, check that the prior-year items expected in BOP have Reporting Country/Region not equal to BE. Items with BE are domestic and correctly excluded.
3. Validate master data: For transactions that should be cross-border, verify the business partner’s country/region in master data. Correct any wrong country/region assignments if identified.
4. Check tax reporting field: On the tax line items, verify the Tax Country for Reporting field (BSET-LSTML). If incorrectly set to BE for cross-border transactions, adjust via correct tax determination and reposting according to business controls.
5. Regenerate reports: Rerun F01DGS and F02CMS and confirm the XML includes the expected transactional lines.
6. Accept by design: If all previous-year transactions are domestic, the empty BOP reports are expected system behavior—no further action required.
