If you have further questions/comments, please feel free to contact me. Regards, Janet Issues: Brazil and Argentina Tax Code - Counterparty tax code for these countries are required in SAP but not in GCP. Bank Partner Type Changes - Partner bank type changes for counterparties -- triggered by master data changes in GCP -- while bank data remains the same, resulting in invoices being paid to the incorrect bank and/or bank account. Ownership - who owns what? Action Taken: Brazil and Argentina Tax Code Meeting took place. Agreed upon plan is for mid office user to provide tax requirements and/or codes to Bill. SAP is waiting for tax requirements and/or codes to determine whether user exits should be disable (these are custom user exits SAP has implemented to accommodate the Brazil and Argentina tax requirements back from 1/01/00 go-live) Bank Partner Type Our understanding is GCP has agreed to modify the GCP program to keep bank partner type static. GCP technical team is developing this solution. Ownership Mid Office Users own data GCP maintains counterparty master data GCP and SAP ensure that solution in place to move master data from GCP to SAP satisfy invoicing and cash processing business requirements. Summary: Many meetings have taken place. Major progress has been made. Now we need to evaluate GCP reengineering initiative to see whether it affects scope and requirements regarding current solution in place for this 3-way interface. Proposed Resolution: SWAT team representing both Houston and London to be formed and meet in London week of Sep. 11- 15th to: Address all issues evolving around this interface. Develop solutions to issues, workplan, ownership, and timeline.
