• Key Concepts: 
  Excise duty balancing is a process used in the IS-OIL-DS-TDP Tariffs, Duties and Permits component of SAP. It is used to ensure that the amount of excise duty paid on goods is equal to the amount of excise duty due on those goods. This process helps to ensure that companies are compliant with local tax regulations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use excise duty balancing, companies must first set up the relevant tax codes in SAP. This includes setting up the tax rate, the tax type, and any other relevant information. Once this is done, companies can then enter the details of their goods into SAP and the system will automatically calculate the amount of excise duty due on those goods. The company can then compare this amount to the amount of excise duty paid and make any necessary adjustments. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all relevant information is entered into SAP correctly in order for excise duty balancing to work properly. This includes entering accurate details about the goods being sold, such as their quantity, value, and any applicable discounts or exemptions. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes in local tax regulations as these may affect the amount of excise duty due on goods.
