The collection of all relevant information on all constituent entities (CEs) is among the most time-consuming aspects of tax reporting and requires a high degree of coordination. However, in complex data collection processes, maintaining an overview of the current status is crucial for ensuring accuracy and compliance. Therefore, in the Pillar 2 module, every CE has its own milestone that helps tracking progress and coordinating efforts. These milestones provide a quick and easy way to assess the current state of data entries and ensure both accuracy in individual entries and consistency across all CEs.

The Status Monitoring workspace can be found at Pillar 2 | Cockpit. The workspace is displayed as follows, for example:

The 'Status Monitoring' workspace is displayed.

For reporting purposes, milestones cannot be imported automatically. To adjust a milestone:

1

Navigate to Pillar 2 | Cockpit | Status Monitoring.

2

Select the combination of period and the jurisdiction(s) for which you want to adjust the milestone status.

3

Do one of the following: Activate the checkbox(es) for an individual CE, all CEs that you can see based on your role, or any subset thereof.

4

Adjust the status of the respective milestones by clicking bulk change.

Note: Even to adjust a single milestone, you need to use the bulk change functionality.

Milestones can be set to the following statuses:

StatusDescription
Not startedWork on this CE has not yet been started
In processIndicates CEs that are currently worked on
ClosedWork on this CE has been concluded and its data cannot be changed
CheckedData on this CE has passed a final review

Milestones are also crucial from a tax compliance perspective. Hence, when a user changes a milestone, the Pillar 2 module logs the user name and the time when the change was made. Additionally, you can modify user roles to make sure that a user who closes a milestone cannot also set its status to checked. Thereby, the Pillar 2 module ensures compliance with the four-eye principle.
