Business Transactions
5 Business Transactions
5.1 Procurement
In normal procurement scenario based on the Goods Supplier (GS) partner and receiving plant that you select in
the Purchase Order, system identifies transaction as intrastate or interstate, and calculates the taxes accordingly.
Goods supplier partner selected flows in the Goods Receipt document, which will then be passed on to invoice
verification to identify their GS Region and receiving plant region, and then taxes are calculated accordingly.
At the time of Invoice creation, if the captured goods supplier partner differs from the Purchase Order goods
supplier, the user can change the goods supplier in the relevant invoice verification (MIRO) transaction. To do so,
we plan to introduce a new editable field (called GST Partner) in the header data under the Basic Data tab. This
new field will default the goods supplier partner vendor that you select in the purchase order. If the user wants to
change this, the user will have the provision to search for the correct vendor code in the field help search.
Note
This design may change depending on the technical feasibility.
In the case of service purchase orders, we also expect a requirement to change the receiving plant region. That is,
if the service offered region is different to that of the receiving plant region maintained in the service order, the
user will be provided with a new editable field (called Actual Place of Supply) in the header data to select service
provided region in the field help search.
Note
This design may change depending on the technical feasibility and more clarity on the law in this area.
The business transactions are classified as intrastate or interstate, and based on the region of the selected GST
partner and the receiving plant, the taxes are calculated in the relevant invoice verification transaction,

5.2 Sales

In GST regime major process change expected in Stock Transfer process. The STO would require a Tax Invoice if
stock transfers are happening between two GST Registration numbers.

We recommend STO to be handled through SD route only.
STO via SD

with the Goods issue document.
