Challenges for the tax department
Different legal requirements and company-specific processes make the correct reflection of VAT in the SAP system a challenging task that requires comprehensive expertise and technical know-how. In addition, VAT processes in SAP affect different modules, as tax requirements run through several business areas.
We support you
kallman's technical focus is on the integration of tax requirements in the areas of purchasing, sales and financial accounting. For example, kallman can support you with the following topics:
- Implementation of tax determination using condition technique (automated tax calculation in purchasing and sales)
- Rule-compliant VAT reports in SAP FI and reconciliation of the EC Sales List and Intrastat
- Development and system-side implementation of a tax code concept
- Optimisation of VAT processes as part of SAP S/4HANA migrations
With a comprehensive understanding of VAT and SAP technical requirements, we support you in optimally integrating tax processes into your system environment!
Are you ready yet?
More and more companies are recognising the potential of automation to make their VAT processes in the SAP system more efficient, secure and future-proof. However, before concrete solutions are implemented, it is crucial to check and optimise the existing requirements.
A foundation for automated processes
The kallman team supports you in creating the basis for successful digitalisation and automation of VAT processes in the SAP system. With our readiness check, we identify potential weaknesses and optimisation opportunities in your master data, processes and organisational workflows.
- Analysis and optimisation of master data quality (e.g. business partner and material classifications as well as tax codes)
- Analysing existing business processes with regard to triggering VAT-related facts.
- Identification of gaps or weaknesses in the reflection of tax requirements in the SAP system.
Our team of consultants will provide you with clear recommendations for action so that you are well prepared to take the next steps in the digitalisation of your VAT processes.
Full flexibility
An SAP system offers extensive customisation options and allows companies to design individual business processes. As a rule, customisation entails adapting the VAT processes to ensure that all legal requirements are mapped correctly and efficiently. In addition to adapting the configuration (customising), development activities in the SAP system are often required to implement the project.
The processes you need
The experts at kallman support you in professionally designing adjustments to VAT processes and implementing them with technical precision. Our team of developers specialises in the implementation of solutions in a VAT context and has many years of experience in this field.
- Customised integration of third-party solutions
- Realisation of individual concepts
- Development of analysis reports (based on ABAP or CDS views)
Understanding and utilising data
In an increasingly data-driven world, the information in your SAP system is invaluable. On the one hand, the data in your SAP system provides valuable information that enables you to gain insights into VAT-related issues, and on the other hand, correct data forms the basis for the VAT-compliant execution of all transactions.
We bring light into the darkness
The kallman team supports you in making this crucial information visible, analysing it and using it optimally for your tax processes. We help you with the following tasks, among others
- Identifying business processes based on the data situation (deriving a transaction matrix)
- Performing plausibility checks and compliance checks (e.g. with the help of SAP Tax Compliance or SAP Risk and Assurance Management)
- Validation of VAT reports
With kallman, you create a solid foundation for your tax and compliance management and realise the full potential of the data in your SAP system.
From theory to SAP practice: Increasing efficiency, minimizing risks
The requirements for tax departments are rising while resources often remain scarce. Artificial intelligence (AI) is not an end in itself here, but a powerful tool to raise your compliance processes to a new level. The kallman team will show you how to integrate AI technologies into your VAT processes in a secure and value-adding manner.
Strategic goals of AI usage
- Preventive risk minimization: We consistently shift tax control to the beginning of the value chain. Through AI-supported validation, we identify potential compliance conflicts at the very moment the data is created – long before they become relevant for reporting or burden the system.
- Efficiency increase: We automate complex decision-making processes and routine tasks. In this way, we relieve the scarce resources in your tax department and create space for processing highly complex individual cases and providing strategic advice to the business.
Practical application areas across the entire tax cycle
We support you in the implementation of AI solutions in all relevant phases:
- Transactional level: Intelligent support for tax determination in complex purchasing and sales processes.
- Reporting & filing: Automated plausibility checks of the VAT return and EC Sales List to accelerate closing processes.
- Intelligent monitoring: Use of AI-supported analyses directly in the ERP system to recognize patterns in mass data that would remain invisible manually.
- Change management & strategy: Automatic analysis of the tax consequences in the event of changes to your business model (for example, new supply chains or foreign registrations).
- Horizon scanning: Automated monitoring of legal changes worldwide, filtered according to the relevance for your specific company profile.
AI power directly in the ERP system and in projects
Use AI where your data is located:
- Master data optimization: AI-supported cleaning and preparation of master data (for example, materials, customers, and vendors).
- Intelligent mapping: Efficient derivation of tax indicators directly from material descriptions or unstructured texts.
- Migration turbo: Use of AI in S/4HANA migration projects for automated data validation and mapping support.
AI is not a replacement for tax expertise – it is the lever that makes your specialist knowledge scalable.
