FAQ

How can I access globalDoc Solution®?

Since the TP Tool is web-based, access for all authorised users is provided via an Internet browser.

How do users get an overview of how the TP tool works?

As part of the globalDoc Solution® implementation, the PwC-globalDoc team offers various workshops that also include user training in which all globalDoc Solution® functionalities are explained. In our experience, these workshops are sufficient to cover all necessary processes for our transfer pricing software. Additional training is available at any time.
Furthermore, numerous how-to videos as well as detailed manuals for different user groups are available for everyday use in German and English.
There is also a user hotline (telephone + e-mail).

Is there a possibility for interested parties to get demo access to the transfer pricing software?

Yes, although a prior tool presentation by PwC is recommended due to the large functional scope of the transfer pricing software.

How flexible is the transfer pricing management software? Can local requirements and individual characteristics also be taken into account when creating documentation reports?

Due to the modular structure of the transfer pricing software, the documentation content can be adapted to local requirements and individual characteristics. For example, it is possible to differentiate between (i) global (relevant for all reporting companies), (ii) divisional (relevant for several reporting companies, e.g. with regard to region, function, business unit) and (iii) local information (relevant for only one individual reporting company).
This differentiation into global, divisional and local text blocks efficiently ensures consistency of the reported content, and at the same time, individual requirements can be taken into account through local modules at any point in the transfer pricing documentation.
Flexibility is also provided by the possibility of individually adapting the outline structure to country-specific documentation requirements or with language selection for transfer pricing documentation in the national language.

Is it possible to create a new documentation structure based on existing reports?

Yes, reports can be imported into the TP tool. Based on the headlines in the document, globalDoc Solution® creates titles and modules. These can then be edited in the tool.
globalDoc Solution® is published in a standard version. Within this standard version of the transfer pricing advisory, administrators and other users can configure numerous settings to adapt it to the specific needs of the reporting company. In addition, upon customer request, the visual layout of the user interface can be customised as part of the IT installation of the TP tool. The layout of documentation reports generated with the transfer pricing software can be customised to customer-specific templates by users with "administrator" rights themselves.

In which languages is globalDoc Solution® available?

The language of the globalDoc Solution® user interface can be selected from 8 options by the respective user. German, English, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Czech and Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal) are offered by default, additional languages are optional. Regardless of the selected language setting, documentation content can be entered into the TP Tool in any language.

Where is the data stored?

The globalDoc Solution® software can be hosted according to your requirements either internally on your servers, at a hosting service provider or at PwC.
