Recap of Contract Accounting Enablement for VAT Return Reports

SAP Document and Reporting Compliance reports enable users to create documents from both financial accounting (FI) data and contract accounting (FI-CA) data in the output. If you work with both application components, the Analyze data allows you to view the detailed contract accounting information.

VAT Return report output can contain a combination of data directly from financial accounting documents or financial accounting documents posted from contract accounting. In the report output, the document number field contains both types of documents. However, with the Reference Document Type and Reconciliation key field, you can distinguish the document types:

• Reference Document Type: FKKSU – financial accounting documents posted from contract accounting.
• Reconciliation Key field: the key stands for financial accounting documents posted from contract accounting.
