The development of the GST patch is under process and the same will be released once the Indian GST law is published.
GST Implementation Services
SAP’s GST patch will not fully address all GST compliance requirements in the current system and would need GST implementation and migration services from SAP partners.
Application of GST patch is just one aspect of an elaborate and intricate procedure to become a GST- Ready organization. Therefore, services of a recognized SAP partner would be required for successful GST implementation/migration. The GST implementation process includes:
• Deployment of SAP’s GST patch
• Modifications to the chart of accounts and account determination
• Reassessment of stock and available tax credits conforming to the GST law
• Restructuring of tax and pricing configurations conforming to the GST requirements
• Interface with GSTN (GST Network) for filing returns
• Changes to custom developments, reports, interfaces and forms
• Changes to the master data, primarily vendors, materials, pricing and customers
• Fine tuning of business processes including indirect taxes
