India GST EAP : Architecture Changes

HI

Applicable to IL customers having accessed GST patch through Early Access Program

With GST, Oracle India Localization has introduced new architecture that largely based on solution. Tax rules are also introduced to a limited scope (not as complex/comprehensive as EBT). Thankfully , tax category concept is retained. Regime to rate concept is introduced.  This set up works classically as accounting is now driven by tax types (not tax rates). Again this is on similar lines to EBT.

Now while defining tax rates, Operating unit is kept mandatory. By keeping this field, they've effectively rendered previous set up useless. This would mean that one will have to define same taxes for all operating units. There's no positive benefit as tax rates don't drive anything else but rates with effective dates.
