VAT Reporting mit SAP Document Reporting Compliance – Statutory Reporting

SAP Document and Reporting Compliance (DRC) offers comprehensive coverage of statutory reports worldwide and is fully integrated into SAP financial processes. The content is regularly updated to reflect changes in legislation. SAP DRC thus provides a uniform and automated solution for creating, validating, and submitting tax reports (statutory reporting, or DRC SRF) and electronic documents (DRC eDocuments).

Our VAT offering for SAP

With our VAT offering for SAP, we combine WTS's specialist VAT expertise with the standard functionalities of SAP Document and Reporting Compliance (DRC). We set up DRC Statutory Reporting so that your VAT reports are generated and transmitted from SAP in the shortest possible time in an audit-proof, automated and verifiable manner. In addition, we optimise tax determination, data quality and pre-processes (e.g. e-invoicing) in SAP – for less manual effort, greater transparency and future-proof VAT compliance in line with ‘VAT in the Digital Age’.

Our scope of services

We distinguish between must-have solutions as a minimum approach and value-add solutions on top for even better data quality. You can choose a modular approach that suits your company and your strategy.

Must-have compliance - our basic services:

Implementation of reports in one day & at a fixed price

With the discontinuation of SAP support for the classic reports RFUMVS00 and RFUMVS0010 and their local variants, DRC SRF offers a modern, rule-based, and audit-proof reporting framework in SAP Fiori.

In a joint workshop day, we close technical gaps and work together to configure DRC SRF so that VAT reports are generated reliably and efficiently – without lengthy projects or complex rollouts.

Thanks to our experience from global rollouts with over 40 implemented reports and numerous successfully supported DAX and SME customers, we are able to offer the project at an attractive and reliable fixed price.

VAT Reporting & Data Quality in SAP

The degree of automation of the report is primarily determined by the quality and granularity of tax determination on the input and output side using tax codes. If no add-on or tax engine is used, validations can be performed with SAP RAM and seamlessly integrated into DRC as an activity.

In addition, creditor and debtor pre-processes, including e-invoicing and their master data, should also be aligned with reporting. The following logics can therefore serve as levers for the degree of automation and data quality.

- Tax reporting date (BADI VATDATE_RULES)

- Foreign currency valuations (BADI TAX_EXCHANGE_RATE)

These function modules directly influence the quality of DRC reports and determine how automatically and reliably the advance VAT return can be created.

FAQs about DRC SRF

Which countries and reports are covered by SAP DRC within the scope of statutory reporting requirements?

Depending on the SAP version and release, DRC supports over 55 countries with more than 400 regulatory scenarios relating to e-invoicing and statutory reporting. Around 350 of these scenarios relate to the Statutory Reporting Framework (DRC SRF), although some of them do not exclusively cover tax-related content. Most European countries are covered in the SRF context.

Can a shared service center (SSC) or local tax advisor also collaborate as a service provider on DRC SRF?

Role-based access, integrated dual control workflow, and direct access to all tax-related documents enable external or central service units to be efficiently integrated into the reporting process. SAP DRC thus enables a standardized, transparent, and audit-proof process—regardless of whether the work is performed internally, in the SSC, or by a local tax advisor.

What advantages does SAP DRC SRF offer over other tools?

In addition to its extensive country coverage (see above) in local formats, SAP DRC as a standard product does not require an interface to your SAP S/4HANA system on the input side.
On the output side, DRC SRF also offers interfaces to various national tax authorities, including in Steps, improves the traceability and transparency of reports, and supports compliance with legal requirements across multiple countries. DRC enables audit-proof reporting and reduces the risk of errors and penalties by systematically mapping and monitoring tax-relevant processes.
However, a detailed supplier selection should also take your system landscape and processes into account. Please feel free to contact us.

What types of verification and control can SAP DRC SRF map?

Some of the country reports have already implemented validations to check schema conformity. We provide our clients with a practical how-to catalog for additional plausibility and consistency checks, such as sales tax verification, data completeness, and period allocation.
DRC is not suitable for automatic data-based validations, such as tax determination, but SAP RAM can be seamlessly integrated into DRC for this purpose.
