The strength of SAP Business ByDesign lies in the 120 countries for which specific localizations have been implemented. Hereby the following subdivision of countries:
1- Standard Country Version
2-Pre-Localized Country Version
3-Tax-basic Country version

Standard Country Version
This country localization scope is mainly focused on delivering country specific compliance functionality.

Pre-Localized Country version
A pre-located land version offers a series of specific features that go beyond the basic tax content. This makes it possible for customers/partners to build customer/partner-specific functionalities. The content provided varies from country to country, but it mainly concerns taxes, customer-oriented forms (such as invoices, orders, delivery notes; not in the local language) or financial accounting. Any deviations must be taken over by the customer/partner. Various independent functions are available within SAP Business ByDesign, e.g. in the area of SEPA migration tools, flexible taxation configuration, flexibility in document numbering, hiring of employees; the options available vary from country to country.

Tax Basic Country Version
The base-country tax versions contain a minimum of support related to tax matters. The generic tax return has been used for the tax base countries. A tax base country also includes some very basic scenarios such as domestic sales and purchases, exports and imports, and relocation.

Subsidiaries
SAP Business ByDesign can perfectly be used for subsidiaries, which are active in several countries. Using SAP Business ByDesign, the subsidiaries can set up their own processes, workflows, reports and KPIs, without dependence on the head office. Integration with the head office with SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA is a possibility. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
