For this purpose, information relevant to reporting (LZB indicators) must be recorded in the financial accounting documents in the SAP ERP system. Therefore, our solution enables automated derivation of report-relevant information at the document level in SAP.

Fulfilment of Reporting Obligations Made Easy

In foreign trade transactions, reporting and recording of the LZB indicator is obligatory. To fulfil the reporting obligation, the LZB indicator must be entered in all relevant documents when posting or changing documents. The solution offers comprehensive reporting facilitation for deriving the LZB indicator from master data for the customer, vendor, material and G/L account. This eliminates the need for manual changes to the financial documents after invoicing or posting of the invoice verification and manual entries for FI postings can be significantly reduced.
