Taking SAP DRC Beyond standard country coverage: Achieving Global Compliance with a truly scalable SAP native application

Extending SAP Document and Reporting Compliance (DRC) into countries without standard SAP country solutions presents a unique set of challenges, from navigating complex local e-invoicing regulations to managing country-specific data requirements and XML schemas. In this session, discover how local SAP DRC country versions were developed across multiple African and Latin American jurisdictions to support diverse business scenarios. Learn how SAP DRC development expertise, framework architecture and local tax knowledge came together to create a sustainable, repeatable approach to localisation, while balancing reusable components with country-specific requirements. The session will explore the importance of detailed design documentation, comprehensive mapping and testing, accurate master data and clear process ownership in minimising ongoing maintenance and ensuring smooth operations. Attendees will leave with practical lessons for extending SAP DRC beyond standard country coverage, maintaining compliance as regulations evolve, and achieving greater control and end-to-end traceability across electronic transactions.
