5 Business Transactions
5.1 Procurement
Actual Goods supplier will be captured in the Goods Receipt document, which will then be passed on to invoice
verification to identify the actual place of supply and for calculation of taxes accordingly.
To store the Goods suppliers region, we intend to introduce a non-editable field on header details (Basic data tab)
for the relevant IV transactions. This design may change depending on technical feasibility.
Based on the region of the Goods supplier and the receiving plant, the business transaction will be classified into
intra or interstate and the taxes will be determined.

As per the standard SAP partner determination technique, the sales order line items will be assigned an
appropriate Ship-to party, which will be used for creating individual delivery documents. These deliveries/orders
can then be used for billing per region.
