SAP Localization
We align your SAP system to achieve 100% compliance with the statutory regulations, tax mandates, and reporting standards of each country within your multinational operations.
SAP Localization and Compliance Services
SAP localization involves adapting a global SAP template to meet local tax laws, e-transformation mandates, accounting standards, and business norms. Through its 'country-specific functions,' SAP provides tailored solutions for critical areas like VAT, e-Ledger, legal reporting, and payroll.
At Finpro, we view localization as more than just a technical 'package activation.' We treat it as a strategic compliance initiative that integrates local regulations, business models, and corporate standards. With our globally experienced consultants and local partners, we help companies build a sound and sustainable SAP localization architecture in Turkey and worldwide.
SAP Türkiye Localization
For SAP localization projects in Turkey, Finpro provides end-to-end services covering the following areas:
-
Turkey Country Package: Activation and fundamental customization of the standard localization package.
-
Tax Engine Design: Configuring SAP for complex scenarios including VAT, withholding tax, exemptions, and tax refunds.
-
Financial Compliance: aligning the Chart of Accounts and accounting workflows with VUK, IFRS, and mandatory legal reporting standards.
-
E-Transformation Architecture: Designing a fully integrated landscape for e-Invoice, e-Ledger, e-Waybill, and e-Declarations, utilizing frameworks like SAP Document and Reporting Compliance (DRC).
-
Local Integrations: Managing integration points with banks, payroll systems, and government authorities (SSI).
We design this structure acknowledging global benchmarks that classify Turkey as one of the most challenging environments for SAP compliance.
Multi-Country and Global Localization Projects
Finpro provides localization consultancy not only for Turkey but also for SAP projects spanning multiple countries:
-
The distinction between the global template and local adaptations is defined through a clear governance and change management model.
-
SAP country versions (country kits) and local regulatory requirements are addressed in collaboration with consultants and local partners specific to each region.
-
Financial consolidation, transfer pricing, group reporting, and IFRS compliance are treated as integral parts of the localization design.
Localization Optimization and Updates for Existing Systems
In countries with rapidly changing regulations and e-transformation mandates, previously implemented SAP systems often develop compliance risks over time.
To update and optimize localization in live systems, Finpro executes a comprehensive improvement program covering the following steps:
-
Conducting a localization health check to assess the current setup against local regulations and SAP best practices.
-
Remediating missing or incorrect configurations and deploying additional functions to ensure compliance with new legal requirements.
-
Planning the migration to SAP Document and Reporting Compliance (DRC) and eDocument solutions.
-
Providing testing, user training, and go-live support.
