Challenge
During the implementation of our e-invoicing solution for Egypt, a multinational client faced a critical obstacle: their SAP rounding rules did not align with Egyptian tax regulations. The Egyptian Tax Authority requires rounding up to five decimal places, while the client’s SAP system was configured for only two decimal places. Resolving this issue was initially estimated to take up to four months - a delay that would have jeopardized the client’s mandatory go-live date.
KGT’s Solution
Thanks to the flexible design of KGT’s SAP add-on, our team was able to engineer a workaround quickly:
- Developed an operational solution that recalculates rounding to meet Egyptian tax rules within an SAP table.
- Delivered a dashboard displaying both the standard SAP values and the adjusted figures required by the ETA.
- Built in an option to deactivate the adjustment once the authorities approve the decimal tolerance.
Results
- Fast: Delivered in just a few days instead of several months.
- Compliant: Ensured complete alignment with Egyptian tax regulations.
- Flexible: The solution can be activated or deactivated as needed, depending on future regulatory approvals.
Impact
The client successfully went live with Egypt e-invoicing on time, avoiding compliance risks and costly delays. This success story highlights KGT’s ability to act quickly, adapt solutions, and ensure client compliance under tight deadlines.
