3.Implementation Overview
3.1 Setup Flow

Navigation:

(N) Oracle Financials for India Tax Configuration Define Tax Conversion

A new setup UI Interface Data Mapping will be introduced for tax code mapping. Tax code mapping is
provided to user to map external system tax definition with Oracle EBS tax code definition.

Business rules for the UI:

Operating Unit field is mandatory; LOV will list all available values base on MOAC (Multiple Org
Access Control) architecture
Taxable Event field is mandatory; Value is External or Standard
a) If it is selected as External then Tax recalculation will not happen. Users need to enter the
tax amount explicitly.
b) If it is Standard then taxes can be recomputed and accounting can be done
Use EBS Tax Code: Check box, when it is chosen, Tax Code Mapping region will gray, reject
entry.
System will pick the GST taxes defined in the application itself
Imported Tax Code: user could predefine tax code of imported tax in this region. Imported Tax
Code is unique for one Operating Unit with Taxable Event combination value.
OFI Tax Code: When user selects Tax code from the LOV, and no modification will be allowed.
They will be retrieved from Existing Tax code definition form.
Inclusive Flag: Read only.

3.3 Implementation Tips

Verify external systems tax code mapping to EBS systems OFI tax code in Interface Data
Mapping UI.
Upload unique key of original transaction to OFI interface table and EBS transaction interface
table. It will ensure the OFI tax data can be matched to correct transaction line.
a) For AR Transaction : Unique Key of Original transaction for AR will be
BATCH_SOURCE_NAME,LINE_GDF_ATTRIBUTE19, LINE_GDF_ATTRIBUTE20 in
RA_INTERFACE_LINES_ALL
b) For AP Transaction : Unique Key of Original transaction for AP will be
REFERENCE_KEY1,REFERENCE_KEY2 and REFERENCE_KEY3 in
AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE
