5. Process step explanation of VAT regime validation
When the BUs inform CTC about the implementation of a new flow, the analyze is done to determine if it is a new complex flow or not.
- If not a new complex flow (similar flow already existing in the ERP)
CTC analyses the flow gives advises from a VAT compliance point of view
The customization of the flow in the ERP is done by CSPS by creating freshdesk tickets to IS team.
- If new complex flow (no similar flow existing)
- CTC analyses the flow and gives advises from a VAT compliance point of view
- RtR checks the VAT treatment provided by CTC
- RtR creates a new VAT code if needed
- RtR manages a new VAT registration request if needed
- The customization of the flow in the ERP is done by CSPS by creating freshdesk tickets to IS team
- CSPS proceeds with tests with IS team
