Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ

 

1) Which are the options for transition from TaxFactory 10.0 to TaxFactory 11.0?


  • In transaction SU3, define the user parameter BSI_TF_VERSION with value 11.

  • In transaction PE03, configure the BSI Tax Factory Version (10BSI) feature with value 11.

  • In transaction SM30, open table view Customer values for configuration options (V_T5F99K2) and set the value of constant BSI TAX FACTORY: CUSTOMIZING SWITCH (BSITF) to 11.Once your company switches to TaxFactory 11.0, you may no longer use TaxFactory 10.0, nor may you switch back to it later.


2) Which is the start date to be used in table V_T5F99K2 and constant BSITF?

The start date should be 01.01.1800, once you decide to upgrade the system to TaxFactory 11.0, as the system should use the version 11.0 for all the tax calculation, even in retroactive scenarios, where TaxFactory 10.0 were used.

 

3) When there is a negative value the system is not calculating taxes after the upgrade to TaxFactory 11.0, what is the cause?

Check if the Reverse Tax Engine is turned ON in your system, table V_T5F99K2, constant ADTMD, further information can be found on the KBA 2984562 - Reverse Tax Engine TaxFactory 11.0

4) Filing status/Marital status is missing or not updated in T5UTK. What should I do?

As T5UTK has delivery class C, you can update this table manually. To find the filling status that should be update in T5UTK you can go to MYBSI Portal (https://mybsiconnect.force.com/CustomLogin) with your credentials:

· Select Product Maintenance > TaxFactory ->  11.0
· Under Maintenance select Cyclic Bulletins -> BSI TaxFactory 11.0 Cyclic Bulletin
-> Bulletin Data nformation

 

5) There is a syntax error in LPBSUD01 after implementing SAP note 2915653, what is the cause and what are the steps fix it?

This is because SAP note 2844646 is not implemented in your system, or was applied after note 2915653.

To solve this SAP note 2844646 must be applied.

Detailed steps:

1) Perform the de-implementation of SAP note 2915653
2) Apply note 2844646
3) Retrieve the version of objects LPBSUD01 -> To do it go to transaction SE38 select LPBSUD01 -> Utilitiles -> version -> version management -> select version prior the note implementation
4) Re-apply note 2915653

 

6) Is it possible to extend the validity date of TaxFactory 10.0?

There is no extension to TaxFactory 10.0. Support for BSI TaxFactory 10.0 will be decommissioned on April 30, 2021.

7) How Local Reciprocity is working in BSI Tax Factory 11.0?
Detailed information is available on the KBA 2973907 BSI TaxFactory Local Reciprocity Process (Basic Local Reciprocity and Advanced Local Reciprocity)

 

😎 I don´t see the WF parameter in BSI script, why?


The parameter WF: 0,0 is not being sent in all scenarios in the BSI script, as BSI considers it as WF: 0,0 if there isn´t this parameter in the BSI script. Parameter WF: 1,1 or 1,2 is always being sent in case the employee has an IT0210 record that follows the new W-4 Form Model for year 2020.

For further information, please check the KBA:
2985123 - The Parameter WF on the BSI Interface


9) Parameter WF is not in the correct line in BSI interface in TaxFactory 11.0?



There is a change in TaxFactory 11.0 cyclic B the parameter WF should be placed in other line in BSI script. This change has been delivered in the W-4 notes for States, after you apply the notes this parameter will be send in the line BSI expects to do the calculation for FED taxes.

The change in the parameter has been delivered in SAP notes:
2895426 – Prerequisite objects for SAP Note 2878657
2878657 – 2020 State Withholding Tax Calculation – Based on the State (or State-equivalent) Withholding Certificate (SAP_HR) – Phase I

For further information, please check the KBA:
2985123 - The Parameter WF on the BSI Interface

10) After the Support Package the system is calculating higher taxes when employee has IT0161, why?

After SAP notes 2888094 TAX: Lock-in letters override for W-4 exempt and 2880846 TAX: Lock-in letters not overriding New W-4 is now considering the values of IT0161 and now the system is calculating more tax, which is expected.

Refer to KBA for further details 2984188- Tax calculation for an employee with both IT0161 and IT0210.

We are in the process of upgrading to BSI 11.  It was my understanding that when we applied BSI 11 that we would be at the latest level and would not need to apply any TUBS.  When I ran my first test payroll today I see BSI Level is 11.0.b TUB 28, but the SAP client specific and cross client levels were not updated.  Should those have been updated when we applied the upgrade?

Hello,

 

I am in process of implementing BSI version 11 and After applying note 2934419 and setting TXL01 as 0/1 . I am still facing problem with BSI Locator, IT207 and IT208 is popping Locator but does not show any enter on the screen. Also, I have noticed this has happened after Sync program was processed in system. System is not able to read any authorities from the table and while Sync program I got warning as " mapping for authority needed to be fixed". I am not sure, IF I missed any step while implementing.

We applied the BSI TF 11.0 upgrade and delimited V_T5F99K2 for V10.0 as of 7/1/20 and created a new entry for 7/1/20 - 12/31/9999 for V11.0.  We ran a payroll simulation for pay period 7/1 - 7/15/20 and received the following redline error:

Error while connecting to BSI TaxFactory:

Program error in remote function call of RFC_HRUS_TF_VERSION_10.

We reconnected BSI 10 and the error is cleared.  In SM59 the BSI Connection Test is successful for both 10.0 and 11.0.  In the past, we have always disconnected the prior version of BSI.  It appears SAP/BSI are still using TF 10.0 and not 11.0.  Have we missed a step?

Hello Kathryn,

Refer to the Frequently Asked Question 1.

You should use just TF 11.0 in this table. So the start date should be 01.01.1800.

Hi Graziela,

I changed the configuration of  V_T5F99K2 to 01/01/1800 - 12/31/9999 for V11.0.  My Basis person disconnected BSI 10.0 and I'm receiving the following error:

Hi Graziela,

 

We are getting significantly higher taxes calculated for FED withholding in TF10 vs TF11, similar to the first part of Jaikishan’s post.

  1. Is the constant ADTMD in V_T5F99K2 also expected to resolve the message 1008; or is there a second part of the solution that you could please advise?
  2. In this blog as well as the 2020 W-4 blog I noticed that people were saying they got higher FED taxes. In the W-4 blog, someone said to update the BSI server file. Q: Is this a valid statement to pursue?

We’ve applied not 2878657 but the issue persists. You and Marcelo recently very kindly helped us with incident 483501 / 2020, so I can confirm we have filing status “04” on the system ?

 

Is there a known fix for this in the works or a config setting that will resolve the issue?

Message: 1008
YOUR REQUEST TO USE 4 MARITAL STATUS FOR THE FEDERAL WITHHOLDING TAX IS NOT ALL
OWED. THIS TAX HAS BEEN CALCULATED USING THE 1 MARITAL STATUS.

Many thanks,

Vicky Boshoff

Hello Team,

I have followed steps in mentioned in Note 2919064 - BSI: Tax Factory 11.0 - Tax Types mappings as listed below and was able to set up BSI 11 in our Quality system and testing is in progress.

We use one dataset for production and Quality. I wanted to check if once we run sync program after BSI cloud Monthly TUB application in production. It will throw any error.

None of Configuration does not exist in production for BSI 11.

  1. Log on BSI Tax Factory portal and select the dataset desired.

  2. System Tools -> Custom Backup/Restore -> Backup. For safety reasons, it is recommended to perform a backup of the dataset before moving to step 3.

  3. System Tools -> Custom Backup/Restore -> Restore.

  4. A file upload will be requested. For this step, the file in attachment to this KBA should be used.

  5. A screen like the one below should be loaded in which you will need to decide which option to use:
    1.jpg

    1. A new data set: In this option, will be required that you set the data set ID information and as a result the BSI will create a dataset with the same ID mentioned.

    2. Existing data set: In this option, will be required to inform which dataset you want to import the mappings. Please note that, even though this functionality can restore the entire dataset, the XML file provided in this note only contains the tax type mappings information. No other information from the dataset will be updated during the process.



  6. Click in Process.

  7. After the execution in the drop down, select Mapping tools.

  8. Under Tax Types, click on Map Tax Types and check if the entries are listed.

Steve,

Have you heard anything more on the issue Experience Rates? We have a slightly different issue where we completed the upgrade, confirmed all of the Notes but we are self funded and do not have a Experience Rate in the BTXRATE Table in TF10 and now TF11. Payroll is failing with a "An exception was raised" error in UTXCE.

Our Developer is telling us in appears to be related to [In the class CL_HRPAYUS_EXPERIENCE_RATES and specifically the method call LOAD_FROM_DATABASE, it doesn't appear to get back any rates. Then in CL_HRPAYUS_BTXRATE method READ_SINGLE, there is nothing in the mt_table]

Again, this is different from your issue but may involve the same tables and processing type issue.

Has anyone applied all of the TF11.0 Notes (per Blog list at top) and then experienced an issue running payroll?  We have applied all of the Notes and upgraded our Test Client to 11.0b Bulletin 124.  RPUBTCU0 runs fine but RPCALC fails with an Exception Raised in UTXCE Processing.

We are on HRSP 608-73 and concerned as to the order the Notes should be applied in.  Can anyone who can successfully run Payroll please share the order you applied the Notes in?

We also have applied Note 2854888 - BSI: TaxFactory 11.0 - Configuration Option that was released in HRSP 608-74 and not sure why it is not included in the list of Notes in this Blog.

Any assistance is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Hi Graziela,

We have upgrade to BSI 11.0 B version. When we are trying to run the report RPUBTCU0 we are getting below error:

Machine generated alternative text:<br />

Sorry, connection to BSI TaxFactory version 11.0 is not working

 

When we are trying to run the report with BSI 10 then it is working fine:

Congratulations, connection to BSI TaxFactory version 10.0 is working

We have performed below steps:

 

  1.  SPRO setting for Customizing switch for TF11

  2.  Feature for BSI 11 has been activated

  3. User profile is updated with BSI 11 parameter


Please suggest if anything is missing here?

Greetings,

Has anyone found a solution for this issue?  We too are experiencing higher federal tax withholdings in our TF11 testing compared to our TF10 test.  However, it only appears to occur for records with the new W4 form.  For records with prior 2020 allowances method are calculating correctly in both TF10 and TF11.  Only those on the new form are incorrectly calculating at a higher rate.

 
Hi Team,

We have upgraded our BSI to Tax Factory 11 – Cyclic version B and Regulatory bulletin 28.

Post this activity during the testing it is noticed that system is refunding the Employer UnEmployment tax for almost all employees.Wage types  (/410, /5U1, /701) are refunding for all the employees

 

Can you please advise the note that helps to fix the same

chandramouly.veeramony2 - We do not see any refund of unemployment tax in payroll executed after TF11 upgrade. We have updated with cyclic B and TUB level 29. We even processed payroll for an employee in NH. I'm not sure if there is a specific scenario causing this issue. We have maintained rates for NH in BTXRATE and BSI TF. You can check if the data maintained in SAP and BSI TF is the same.

Recent TUB changes for NH has increased the rate, so that should not be an issue to cause a refund.

Thanks,

Hello Graziela,

I am experiencing the same issue that others have posted – Federal withholding taxes are calculating much higher with our TF11 tests compared to our TF10 tests but only for records with IT0210 W4 created post 1/1/2020. Infotype 0210 records created pre 1/1/2020 are calculating correctly. We are running BSI TF11 Regulatory 027 and are a local government agency in the state of TX. Therefore, State tax is not applicable. None the less, we have applied all the notes related to W-4 State Withholding Tax Calculation 2020 – Based on the State (or State-equivalent) Withholding Certificate in an effort to resolve the issue as others with similar issue have applied with favorable results. Upon applying all the following notes, the issue continues to persist:

2916238 - 2020 State Withholding Tax Calculation - Based on the State (or State-equivalent) Withholding Certificate (SAP_HR) - Phase II

2888094 - TAX Lock-in letters override for W-4 exempt.pdf

2878657 - 2020 State Withholding Tax Calculation - Based on the State (or State-equivalent) Withholding Certificate (SAP_HR) - Phase I

2895426 - Prerequisite objects for SAP Note 2878657

Upon further review of TF11 Blog we also applied the following as suggested in posts with similar issue yet the issue has yet to be resolved

2844646 - Ignore the local class definition, implementation, definition deffered, definition load , definition local friends changes

2915653 - BSI Unemployment Override not Being Considered on TaxFactory 11.0

Lastly, I have added entries ADTMD for value On and TXL01 for value 0 in table V_T5F99K2 yet the issue continues. I have tried various combinations of dates and values for ADTMD and TXL01 to no avail. Any suggestions on what is missing or how to resolve the issue resulting in higher Federal taxes would be appreciated.

 
Hi Chandra,

Below notes fixed our issue:

2915653 – BSI: Unemployment Override not Being Considered on TaxFactory

Important:

Before applying SAP note 2915653, you must apply note 2844646 – Ignore the local class definition, implementation, definition deffered, definition load , definition local friends changes this notes contains a fix to SNOTE transaction and without this you will get an error.

2919499 – TAX: Experience Rates Calculated Incorrectly in Tax Result Log

Hello Graziela,

I am getting the following error after applying all the pre-req notes mentioned in main note 2760305. I believe someone else on this forum has already mentioned this error and I am not sure if the error was ever resolved. We are currently on 608-72 (ECC on-premise).

In include "RPC_PAYUS_BSI_BLR_CLIENT_CHECK ", in line 27 of program
"RPCALCU0 ", the following syntax errors
have occurred:
Type "LCL_BAS_LOC_RECIP_VERS_CHECKER" is unknown.

Now I have only applied notes mentioned in 2760305.

I am going to apply notes 2852878, 2864644, 2855926, 2876817, 2853869, 2878074, 2915653, 2919499, 2920181 and 2944465.

You mentioned above that I have to apply note 2844646 before applying note 2915653 which I will do. Someone followed this step and still got an error. Then you mentioned backing out and de-implementing 2844516.

 

So what is the correct steps to follow to correct this error. Should I de-implement 2844516 first before applying 2844646 and 2915653? Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi Team,

We just upgraded to BSI 11.0, when we run payroll in quality i get an message that "Basis local reciprocity is activated in tax factory client" & i see /TR1 wage type in RT with a value 1.00. Screenshot from SAP quality is attached below for references.


Now we moved our transport to PROD. when i run payroll i dont see ""Basis local reciprocity is activated in tax factory client" & /TR1 wage type is not there in RT anymore. Will this cause issue with reciprocity between states "Incorrect state calculation" when we have maintained custom nexus indicator in BSI 11.0. Screenshot from PROD is attached below for references.

Hi TEam,

 

During my BSI 11.0 testing i kept FEATURE 10BSI to 10.0 and through user profile (SU3 TCODE) i maintained  "BSI_TF_VERSION" as 10.0/11.0 and i was doing my testing and comparing taxes between both BSI 10.0/11.0.... in both instance ie in both BSI 10.0 and BSI 11.0, system bought /TR1 wage type with a value 1.00 in employee RT.

Once when we go live with BSI 11.0 in PROD. i changed the value of FEATURE "10BSI" to 11.0.

now when i was doing some simulation payroll in production client which is connected to BSI 11.0... system stopped creating wage type /TR1 with a value 1.00 for all employees in RT.

 

Is this a issue? because i have maintained custom nexus indicator for states in BSI for some particular company code???? will this cause incorrect payroll tax calculation.... need your input.

Hi Jill

 

Look at the employee infotype 0001 and identy the company code, personnle and personnel sub area.. go to payroll and see whats the employee tax company..

 

Then go to BSI, look for "custom nexus data", take the tax company code and enter both the states there...example, resident in PA local and working in VA then enter both PA and VA.

 

Now run payroll and see if this resolve this issue. this is how i got this issue resolved by maintaining in BSI 11.0

 

Hope this helps

Hello Thomas,

I believe you already opened an incident, correct?
Refer to the KBA:

2917271 - Error while implemeting note 2844516

It´s important to retrieve all the objects from note 2844516, before trying to apply it again to the version before the attempt to apply this note. Otherwise you will keep receiving errors.

Kind regards,
Graziela

Hello Prabu,

If you already have the notes in your system you don´t need to apply it using SNOTE transaction.
However, they are some manual steps that you need to following to switch to BSI TaxFactory 11.0.

Hello Ashish,

Do you see this information in the script? These errors are returned by the BSI.
Is the mapping done in BSI tax factory?

Hi Graziela,

 

Yes it related to my last question and thanks a ton for releasing a KBA with all information.

My question is with BSI 11.0, I don't see /TR1 wage type in RT, will this impact payroll taxes when we run payroll??? do we have any significance to this wage type? will my reciprocity between taxes wont work according to custom nexus data configured in BSI 11.0????

 

Need your input.

Hi Vineeta,

I am not sure if I understood your comment related to one dataset for both Quality and Production.

Please notice that this is not recommended as:

  • In a on-premise installation SAP system will look for a dataset with the same name of your client.
  • In a cloud environment each environment has its own BSI linked.

This is the supported scenario which also avoid to face issues due to changes in the dataset for testing purposes.

Hello Hemanth,

Wage type /TR1 is to identify the employees that were affected by the Basic Local Reciprocity.
The Basic Local Reciprocity should not be used anymore.

This note also contains some information that can help you:

Hi Graziela,

SAP note 2917910 (We implemented this as part of BSI 11.0) has bought new wage types "/3K0 to /3K4" and "/3KA till /3KI", "/4K0 to /4K4" and "/4KA till /4KI", "/6K0 to /6K4" and "/6KA till /6KI" , "/7K0 to /7K4" and "/7KA till /7KI".

Now when we run payroll recon report for current year with wage type application "TURK". i get error message "You must include the corresponding /4XX wage type" and recon report stops executing. After debugging i found that /4K0 and /4K1 wage type processing class 72 (employee or employer tax wage type) is missing a value as currently its blank in our development and quality. Screenshot of /4K0 is given below.


 

Now when i maintain processing class 72 as "2" employer wage type, report run fine without any issues.

QUESTION:

Is it ok to maintain /4K0 wage type value as 2 for processing class 72... Please confirm as other wage type like /4K1, /4K2...etc has processing class 72 maintained and they dont error out.

Need your input.

Hello Suryasai,

Did you switch to BSI TaxFactory 11?

1) Which are the options for transition from TaxFactory 10.0 to TaxFactory 11.0?


  • In transaction SU3, define the user parameter BSI_TF_VERSION with value 11.

  • In transaction PE03, configure the BSI Tax Factory Version (10BSI) feature with value 11.

  • In transaction SM30, open table view Customer values for configuration options (V_T5F99K2) and set the value of constant BSI TAX FACTORY: CUSTOMIZING SWITCH (BSITF) to 11.Once your company switches to TaxFactory 11.0, you may no longer use TaxFactory 10.0, nor may you switch back to it later.


KInd regards,
Graziela
