Symptom
You create a purchase order for free-text items with a product category assigned. You want to make that product category exempt of taxes. However you cannot find a way to configure it in the system and you have to change the tax code manually for all items.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
- Choose the activity New Purchase Order.
- Enter a free-text item with desired Product Category ID.
- Change the Tax Code field to the desired value manually.
Cause
Only if you order products with a master data (Material ID or Service ID), the tax code is determined based on the definition maintained there.
Resolution
In the case of free-text items, we suggest to maintain a tax exemption per country and product category.
- Go to the Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
- Choose the activity Set Tax Classifications.
- Select the relevant Product Category, Tax Rate Type, Tax Exemption Reason and Country.
- Choose Save and Activate.
