It is necessary to create a new Excise Version when changes occur in tariffs or in calculation. In the Tariff Group Versions only predefined versions can be chosen. The version consists of a code, description, country code, currency code, status (Under Development, Certified and Closed) and a comment block where the content of the version can be described.

You can create a new Excise Version and Excise Calculation using the following steps:

  1. Select the Search icon , enter Excise versions, and then choose the related link.
    The Excise versions page opens.
  2. Choose New.
  3. Enter the Code, Description, and Comment in the respective fields.
  4. Select the Starting Date and the Ending Date.
  5. Enter the Country/Region Code where the Excise Version is valid.
  6. Enter the Currency Code.


    When you use a currency code, it means that the tariffs in that excise version are in that currency. This makes it possible to define the country/region specific rates.

  7. Select the Status from the dropdown.


    You can choose the status as Under Development, Certified and Closed for the created Excise Version.

  8. On the action bar, go to Actions > Show Versions. The Tariff Group Versions page opens.
  9. Choose New.
  10. Select the Tariff Group Code from the dropdown.
  11. Choose Excise Calculation.
    The Excise Calculations page opens. You can view a table with Calculation Order, Calculation Code, Tariff Code, Factor and Tariff.


    The addition of new Tariff Groups to the Excise Version is only possible when the status is Under Development.

  12. On the action bar, go to Manage > Edit.
    The Excise Calculation page opens.
  13. Enter Calculation Order.
  14. Select the Calculation Code and the Tariff Code from the dropdown.
  15. Enter the Factor and the Tariff.


    You can update the tariff group versions directly from the Tariff Group Version page. On this page, it's necessary to select a Version Code with the status as Under Development.

  16. Enable or disable the Default Calculation toggle as required. You can only enable one excise calculation line as Default Calculation.


    When creating the Excise Line or the Excise Duty Ledger Entry and no line is enabled as the Default Calculation, then the first Excise Calculation line is used for Customs Quantity, Customs Volume or Customs Quantity 100%.
