The Seller's tax number, tax number type and tax country are a split criteria for your customer invoice

1. Go to the Customer Invoicing work center.
2. Go to the Invoice Request view.
3. Select Invoice A_XYZ.
4. Select Invoice.
5. Go to View All

You can see the information for the Tax Number, Tax Type and Tax Country.

Execute the same steps for invoice B_XYZ.
You can see that for at least one field the Tax Number, Tax Type or Tax Country is different than for A_XYZ.

In order to have only one invoice for invoice request A_XYZ and B_XYZ, you would need to update the Seller's tax information in the master data for the Sales Order ABC.

You want to create one and only one invoice with the following data :

• Tax Country : CTY_XYZ
• Tax Number Type : Typ_XYZ
• Tax Number : TNum_XYZ

You would need to follow the steps below :

1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
2. Go to the Tax Authorities view.
3. Edit the tax authorities for country CTY_XYZ (in case there is no tax authorities maintain for this tax country, you would need to create a new one)
4. Go to the Tax Company Arrangement tab.
5. Maintain the Tax Number Type as Typ_XYZ.
6. Maintain the Tax Number as TNum_XYZ.
7. Save and Activate the Change.
8. Go back to the Sales Order ABC.
9. Go to View All.
10. Go to the Pricing tab.
11. In the Total Pricing section, select update pricing > Keep manual change (this will trigger the manual tax recalculation).
12. Save the sales order to update the invoice request.

You should now be able to create one invoice for this sales order.

If the save does not update the invoice request, then we would need to trigger a reconcile on the sales order to send the message to invoice request.

You can check if the tax information are maintained in the backend by checking the following nodes :

 

Select Both Sales Order - Item

> Go to PRICE_AND_TAX_ITEM
> Go to ITEMS_TAXATION_TERMS

 

Select Both Invoice Request go to

> PRICE_AND_TAX_ITEM
