This document provides instructions for configuring tax collected at source (TCS) in SAP. It outlines 9 steps to define TCS keys and types, create access sequences and condition types, assign GL accounts, and add TCS conditions to pricing procedures in order to calculate, report, and post TCS for sales documents. The configuration ensures TCS is handled correctly in both sales and distribution (SD) and financial accounting (FI).

1. Configuration of TCS By: Rajeev Kumar
What is TCS?
Answer: The seller has to collect tax from the payer who has purchased the following items:
Alcoholic liquor for human consumption
Tendu leaves
Timber obtained under a forest lease
Timber obtained by any mode other than under a forest lease
Any other forest produce not being timber or Tendu leaves
Scrap
Parking lot
Toll plaza
Mining and quarrying
Required Configuration:
Define Withholding Tax key (206C)
Define Withholding Tax type
Create the access sequence for withholding for TCS in SD. (Copy the existing access
sequence J1AW and create the new access sequence)
Create condition types corresponding to Tax collected at Source in SD
Assign withholding tax types to SD condition types
Define withholding tax codes
Assign GL accounts for withholding tax types
Add TCS conditions in pricing procedure. (Assign TCS conditions in pricing procedure
as a statistical conditions)
We will need to define a new condition type and add this to the pricing procedure to post
to the FI. This condition type will be manual and can be manually filled at the time of
creation of sales order. This can also be copied from the statistical TCS condition types in
the pricing procedure
To calculate and report tax collected at source, make the following settings (all under country
key IN):

Since posting of TCS happens on both SD and FI
documents, ensure that you assign the same G/L account
for each combination of withholding tax type and
withholding tax code.
