Documentation on localization

[EtienneJacquet]

Hello,

I am looking for documentation regarding the localization in S/4HANA Cloud. Not documentation related to roadmap or already available localization, which can be found easily, but document with details for each localization with:
 - the tax management
 - impact on YCOA chart of account
 - specific reports availables
 - any other specificities provided with the localization

Do you know if such documentation exists for each available localizations?

Kind regards,

Etienne

Hello Etienne,

With every release the SAP help portal for S/4HANA Cloud devotes a section for country/region specifics whereby specific information is provided per localization and categorized by module ex: finance, sales etc.

In addition, under the scope item of advanced compliance reporting, documentation is provided with regards to configuration options for country-specific reports:
