1 Introduction
This how-to guide will help you to work with Good and Service Tax (GST) in the India localization of SAP Business
One.
GST is a new way of handling indirect taxation in India. GST replaces some existing tax regimes providing benefits
such as:
• Reduced tax complexity
• A simplified taxation system with fewer variables
• Greater tax transparency
• A reduced administrative burden
• Unified taxation for the country and individual states
• Economic and employment benefits
GST is a change to existing functionality that affects SAP Business One Customers in India. SAP Business One
provides solutions to customers through patch deployment to meet the requirements of GST, the relevant
versions and or patches will be needed to take advantage of GST functionality. The GST solutions provided in SAP
Business One are described and explained in this g u i d e .

2 Settings
Settings in SAP Business One enable GST functionality to operate and conform to the legal and reporting
requirements of the tax authorities in India.
2.1 States
As GST requirements are different depending on which states of India are involved, the states need to be clearly
defined in SAP Business One. The state codes are specifically required for the reporting of Place of Supply in
various GST reports.
You must ensure that the required GST State Codes are entered into SAP Business One in order for GST and
related reporting to function properly. GST State Codes are represented by a two digit numeric value.
The States - Setup screen can be accessed by following the path Main Menu → Modules tab → Administration →
Setup → General → States in SAP Business One.
The GST State Codes used for states are different to the eCodes used for states in the eTDS process.

GST SOLUTION SAP BUSINESS ONE
2.2 Locations
Locations contain key information related to GST which needs to be defined in SAP Business One. Without the
correct location information, GST functionality will not function properly. Locations can be applied, for example, to
Warehouses. The required fields on the Locations - Setup screen GST tab are as follows:
o GST Location – checkbox that enables the fields mentioned below and makes the location GST relevant.
o GSTIN – a unique GST identification number applicable to a particular Location and provided by the GST
Authorities for a company during the registration process. Consists of 15 characters.
o GST Type – a GST categorization as specified by the GST authorities.
o GSTIN TDS – a unique GST identification number applicable to a particular Location in case an entity or
company is registered for TDS (Tax Deducted at Source).
o GSTIN ISD – a unique GST identification number applicable to a particular Location in case an entity or
company is registered for ISD (Internal Supply Distribution).
You must manually enter the required correct Location GST information into SAP Business One for GST to
function properly.
The Locations - Setup screen can be accessed by following the path Main Menu → Modules tab → Administration
→ Setup → Inventory → Locations → Accounting Data tab → GST tab in SAP Business One.
2.3 Business Partner Master Data
Different Business Partners (BPs) are dealt with differently under GST depending on their GST settings. One BP
may have several ship to addresses that will each need different GST information. A BP may not have any GST
information at all, depending on their classification.
The following fields on the Addresses tab of the Business Partner Master Data screen are important when GST is
being considered:
o State – as GST is based on state location, this is key to determining the correct GST treatment.
o GSTIN – a unique GST identification number applicable to a Ship to Address and provided by the GST
authorities. Consists of 15 characters.
o GST Type – a GST categorization as specified by the GST authorities.
o Merchant ID – to generate a BP identifier for E-Commerce selling purposes.
You must manually enter the required GST information into SAP Business One for GST and related reporting to
function properly.
In SAP Business One, the Business Partner Master Data screen can be accessed by following the path Main Menu
→ Modules tab → Business Partners → Business Partner Master Data. Both the Addresses tab and Accounting tab
→ Tax tab are found on the Business Partner Master Data screen.
The following field on the Accounting tab → Tax tab of the Business Partner Master Data screen is important when
GST and withholding tax are being considered:
o Subject to GST Withholding Tax – checkbox

GST SOLUTION SAP BUSINESS ONE
2.4 Item Master Data
Different Items are dealt with differently under GST depending on their GST settings. An item has to be marked as
GST relevant to consider it for GST treatment. An item can be classified differently under Material Type and Tax
Category leading to different GST treatment. The following fields on the Item Master Data screen General tab are
important when GST is being considered:
o GST – checkbox
o Material Type – options are Raw Material or Capital Goods.
o HSN – Harmonized System of Nomenclature, a unique product coding system. Very similar in nature to
Chapter ID that is used for Excise tax.
o Tax Category – options are Regular, Nil Rated or Exempt depending on how the tax authorities regard the
item, this selection drives GST treatment logic.
o Capital Goods On Hold Percentage
o Capital Goods On Hold Amount Limit
o Assessable Value
o SAC – (Service Accounting Code) only applicable to Service type items.
You must manually enter the required GST information into SAP Business One for GST and related reporting to
function properly.
In SAP Business One, the Item Master Data screen can be accessed by following the path Main Menu → Modules
Tab → Inventory → Item Master Data.

2.5 Warehouses
If a Warehouse is set to be external, then it can be used in subcontracting scenarios. The following field on the
Warehouses - Setup screen General tab is important when GST is being considered:
o External – checkbox
The Warehouses - Setup screen can be accessed by following the path Main Menu → Modules tab →
Administration → Setup → Inventory → Warehouses → General tab in SAP Business One.
2.6 Tax Types
Specific Tax Types are available to handle GST. The following tax types on the Tax Types - Setup screen
specifically relate to GST:
o CGST
o IGST
o SGST
o CessGST
o SINCessGST

GST SOLUTION SAP BUSINESS ONE
By selecting the Attribute Values option for a particular Tax Type you can enter a value into the Reverse Charge %
field to determine how reverse charging is handled, especially in relation to A/P marketing document journal
entries.
In SAP Business One, the Tax Types - Setup screen can be accessed by following the path Main Menu → Modules
Tab → Administration → Setup → Financials → Tax → Tax Types.
The background formulas for calculating the different tax types are set as default values. These background
formulas can be changed through the Tax Formula - Setup screen.
12
To access the Tax Formula - Setup screen follow the path Main Menu → Modules tab → Administration → Setup →
Financials → Tax → Tax Engine Configuration → Tax Formula).
2.7 Tax Code Determination
To manage GST, four Key Fields are available in the Tax Code Determination - Setup screen. Additional GST
related Key Field options are available for selection:

The Tax Code Determination - Setup screen can be accessed by following the path Main Menu → Modules tab →
Administration → Setup → Financials → Tax → Tax Code Determination.
2.8 Withholding Tax
This section represents withholding tax changes relevant for TDS (Tax deducted at source).
New dedicated withholding tax fields relevant for GST are planned for SAP Business One 9.2 PL08. Patch
deployment and delivery is subject to change.
14
2.9 Document Numbering
For the purposes of GST, new subdocument types have been introduced for invoices and credit memos. For these
new subdocument types there is a different numbering series. The Document Numbering - Setup screen can be
used to view and amend these settings.
The document type Bill of Supply is unaffected by GST changes and remains in place for invoicing under
the previous tax regimes and Excise purposes.
The Document Numbering - Setup screen can be accessed by following the path Main Menu → Modules tab →
Administration → System Initialization → Document Numbering.
Sequence also reflects these GST attributes. The Sequence - Setup screen can be accessed by following the path
Main Menu → Modules tab → Administration → Setup → Financials → Tax → Sequence.

3 Marketing Documents
To handle GST, there are options available in the marketing documents available in SAP Business One. These
options have been introduced as enhancements so as to comply with the requirements of GST.
3.1 A/R Invoices
A/R Invoices (follow path Main Menu → Modules tab → Sales - A/R → A/R Invoice) have various fields and options
to help specify the correct details for GST.
The field Transaction Type in the header section of an A/R Invoice has three different options to determine how
the A/R Invoice you are creating relates to GST:
o Bill of Supply – for invoices that are not affected by GST.
o GST Tax Invoice – for invoices affected by GST.
o GST Debit Memo – for adjusting GST Tax Invoices already created.
The field Place of Supply in the header section of an A/R Invoice has the states of India as options. Place of Supply
Determines which state the A/R Invoice contents are being shipped to and therefore how GST will be dealt with.
17
GST SOLUTION SAP BUSINESS ONE
The Tax tab of an A/R Invoice has several options to determine how the A/R Invoice you are creating relates to
GST:
o E-Commerce Operator – to choose a Business Partner when selling through an E-Commerce Portal.
o E-Commerce GSTN – to choose a GSTIN associated with an E-Commerce Operator.
o Revision – checkbox option stating that the A/R Invoice is a revision, reveals the following:
o Original Ref. No. – Reference number of the document that is being revised.

o Export – checkbox option determining that the A/R Invoice is for exports outside India.
o Bill of Export No. – provided by the authorities as an official document with standalone
numbering/identification.
o Bill of Export Date. – Date of document provided.
If a Transaction Type of GST Debit Memo is chosen for the A/R Invoice then an additional two fields will become
available when the Revision checkbox is selected:
o Original Debit No. – to enable the reporting of reference numbers of credited documents
o Original Debit Date
18
The Contents tab of an A/R Invoice has a SAC field option for GST when the Item/Service Type is selected as
Service for a GST Tax Invoice. The SAC field value must be manually entered as unlike in Service Type Documents
the SAC information is not determined by Master Data.
3.2 A/R Credit Memos
A/R Credit Memos (follow path Main Menu → Modules tab → Sales - A/R → A/R Credit Memos) have fields and
options to help specify the correct details for GST, much like in A/R Invoices, but with important differences.

4 GST Scenarios
The introduction of GST will have an effect on common, everyday business processes. Most of the process for
raising marketing documents or performing business transactions will remain the same but there will be
important changes resulting from GST. Different processes and marketing documents that are impacted by GST
are described in this section.
4.1 Sales Scenario for Goods/Services (Nil Rated & Regular)
The standard sales process involving Sales Quotation, Sales Order and Delivery remains the same as it was before
the introduction of GST. However, after the introduction of GST, there are important new mandatory steps at the
A/R Invoice stage of the sales process.
In order to generate an A/R Invoice (follow path Main Menu → Modules tab → Sales - A/R → A/R Invoice) for Nil
Rated and Regular items the standard operating procedure as before applies, but with some important
differences, following the introduction of GST.
• In the Transaction Type field of the A/R Invoice header you must choose GST Tax Invoice.

Down Payment Request), the standard operating procedure as before applies, but with some important
differences.
• Where relevant, GST will be applied to the document produced first in the process, either the A/R Down
Payment or the A/R Invoice.
• A Transaction ID is required on the A/R Down Payment Request.
There are two different options, define which applies in the Duty Status field on the Tax tab
4.5 Sales Scenario for Goods/Services (Reverse Charge)

23
GST SOLUTION SAP BUSINESS ONE
4.6 Sales Scenario for Debit Memos
Generate an A/R Invoice (follow path Main Menu → Modules tab → Sales - A/R → A/R Invoice) to create a debit
memo. Debit memos can correct a previously created A/R Invoice with a transaction type of GST Tax Invoice.

First cancel the original A/R Invoice (follow path Main Menu → Modules tab → Sales - A/R → A/R Invoice) that was
created with a transaction type of GST Tax Invoice. Then create a new A/R Invoice with the correct revised
attribute and reference to the original invoice.
• You must flag the new A/R Invoice as a revision
• This process should only be used when the GST Tax Invoice being corrected belongs to a previous period and
has been reported. Otherwise you can just cancel the invoice and create a new one.
• Enter the original GST Tax Invoice reference number and date of the invoice being revised
24
4.9 Inventory Scenario for Self-Supplies (Incl. Consignment)
For inventory transfers made in the same state (intrastate) there is no GST impact so no change to the existing
process.
For inventory transfers made between two different states (interstate) an Inventory Transfer is needed first
(follow path Main Menu → Modules tab → Inventory → Inventory Transactions → Inventory Transfer) followed by
an A/R Invoice where the warehouse is the issuing party. The A/R Invoice can be created by selecting Copy To on
the relevant Inventory Transfer. Where the warehouse is the receiving party, an A/P Invoice can be created by
selecting Copy To on the relevant Inventory T r a n s f e r .
• Once the A/R Invoice has been copied to, you need to ensure it is a GST Tax Invoice
• A Business Partner for each interstate warehouse will be needed
4.10 Inventory Scenario for Job Work
In an inventory scenario for job work is where inventory is sent to another location for processing before being
returned to its original location.
Where the job work is taking place in the same state then an Inventory Transfer (follow path Main Menu →
Modules tab → Inventory → Inventory Transactions → Inventory Transfer) is made in the same state (intrastate). If
the raw material inventory is not returned within one year or three years for capital goods inventory, then an A/R
Invoice with a transaction type of GST Tax Invoice will be required.
Where the job work is taking place in a different state (interstate) then an Inventory Transfer (follow path Main
Menu → Modules tab → Inventory → Inventory Transactions → Inventory Transfer) is made between different
states. An A/R Invoice with a transaction type of GST Tax Invoice will be then be required. For the inventory
received back an A/P Invoice is then required.
4.11 Purchasing Scenario for Goods/Services (Invoice First - Normal Tax)
The standard purchasing process involving Purchase Request, Purchase Order, Goods Receipt Purchase Order
and Outgoing Payment remains the same as it was before the introduction of GST. However, after the introduction
of GST, there are important new mandatory steps at the A/P Invoice stage of the purchasing process.
In order to generate an A/P Invoice (follow path Main Menu → Modules tab → Purchasing - A/P → A/P Invoice), for
invoice first - normal tax scenarios, the standard operating procedure as before applies, but with some important
differences following the introduction of GST.
25
GST SOLUTION SAP BUSINESS ONE
• In the Transaction Type field of the A/P Invoice header you must choose GST Tax Invoice
• In the Item No. or Item Description field you must choose a GST relevant item
• In the Tax Code field you must choose a GST relevant Tax Code, this makes sure the correct GST account is
credited
4.12 Purchasing Scenario for Goods/Services (Outgoing Payment First – Normal Tax)
In a purchasing scenario for goods and services where there is an outgoing payment first under normal tax there
will then need to be an A/P Invoice.
• When there is an A/P Down Payment, input tax credit cannot be accepted until the related goods or services
are received as well as the counter party tax invoice
• An A/P Down Payment cannot be used for making advance payments to customers (for goods and services)
as GST inputs will be posted on the A/P Down Payment Invoice or outgoing payment
4.13 Purchasing Scenario for Goods (Invoice First – Reverse Charge)
In a purchasing scenario for goods where there is an invoice first followed by a reverse charge, the reverse charge
can be for all or part of the original A/P Invoice.
• Reverse Charge has to be stated in the tax code of the A/P Invoice
• Time of supply is the earlier of payment or 30 days from the issue of A/P Invoice
4.14 Purchasing Scenario for Service (Invoice First – Reverse Charge
In a purchasing scenario where there is an invoice for services first followed by a reverse charge, there will first be
an A/P Invoice with an exempt tax code. If an outgoing payment is not completed within 60 days then there will be
an A/P Invoice for tax only - reverse charge followed by an Outgoing Payment.
• Tax liability is at the time of payment or 60 days from the issue of A/P Invoice
26
4.15 Purchasing Scenario for Goods/Services (Outgoing Payment First – Reverse Charge)
In a purchasing scenario where there is an A/P Down Payment request followed by an A/P Invoice a reverse
charge can be for all or part of the original amount.
4.16 Purchasing Scenario for Goods/Services (Credit Note) and Return
There are two possible options for a purchasing scenario where there is a credit note and return.
1. When the Tax Code selected in the A/P Credit Memo is a Normal Tax Code
2. When the Tax Code selected in the A/P Credit Memo is a Reverse Charge, the GST will be determined
based on the percentage of the reverse charge
4.17 Purchasing Scenario for Goods/Services (Debit Note) and Supplementary Invoices
In a purchasing scenario where there is a debit note for goods or services and a supplementary invoices an A/P
Invoice will be required with the relevant GST amount.
4.18 Purchasing Scenario for Goods/Services (Revised Invoice, DR and CR Memo)
In a purchasing scenario where there is a canceled A/P Invoice or A/P Credit Memo, the revised A/P Invoice or
revised A/P Credit Memo must have the revised field selected and the original document reference number and
date provided.
• This scenario is only to be used when canceling a document for a period that was already r e p o r t e d .
• For a revision in the same reporting period, a simple cancellation and new invoice should be p r o c e s s e d .
• Canceled invoices within the same period are not reported.
4.19 Purchasing Scenario for the Import of Goods
In purchasing scenarios, the import of goods is supported through A/P Invoices with tax only or reverse charges.
27
GST SOLUTION SAP BUSINESS ONE
• The A/P Invoice will have a the BP as a Goods Vendor that is tax exempt
• An A/P Invoice for collecting and forwarding agent for only BCD and service will depend on the agent to pay
any BCD and GST
• An A/P Invoice for an item with IGST tax code, tax only can be created for GST input posted with C&F invoice.
The import checkbox on the A/P Invoice should only be selected for a GST input credit posting.
4.20 Purchasing Scenario for the Import of Services
In purchasing scenarios, the import of services is supported through A/P Invoices as tax only, reverse charge.
4.21 Purchasing Scenario for Withholding Tax (WHT) for TDS GST (A/P Invoice and DP)
In purchasing scenarios, direct or indirect Withholding Tax is supported for TDS GST on A/P Invoices and A/P
Down Payment Invoices.
• For A/P Invoices, TDS / TCS GST will only be applicable when a government department or notified company
is making a payment in excess of 100,000 INR, or an Ecommerce Operator is making a payment to a supplier
• A PO will be mandatory for TDS GST number
