2013756 - VAT Tax Return Run Error: No configuration for tax VAT, event XYZ, and rate ABC

Symptom

  • You execute the VAT Return Run for a specific Tax Authority for Country DEF.
  • In the application log of the run,  you get the error message: No configuration for tax VAT, event XYZ, and rate ABC. (XYZ represents the Tax event ID; ABC represents the Tax Rate, for example Standard, Reduced, Zero; DEF represents the Country version).

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
  2. Go to the Periodic Tasks View.
  3. Go to the VAT Return Runs subview.
  4. Select the Run ID.
  5. Click on the Application Log ID.
  6. Go to the Results tab.

The message 'No configuration for tax VAT, event Exempt Domestic Sales of Goods and Service, and rate ABC' is displayed.

Cause

In the Tax Returns for Goods and Services Fine Tune activity for Country DEF the Summary Layout settings are missing the combination of VAT Tax Return Type, Tax Event XYZ and Tax Rate ABC.

Or tax rate used in for business transactions such as expense reports is inconsistent from the rates maintained in Tax Returns for Goods and Services Fine Tune activity.

Resolution

Maintain the relevant Tax Event - Tax Rate combination:

  1. Go to the Business Configuration work center and access the Tax Returns for Goods and Services - DEF activity, either via Overview or from the Activity list of the Implementation Project. 
  2. In the activity, select Product Tax Return DEF.
  3. Choose Tax Return Type 1 - VAT Return.
  4. Go to the Tax Event sub-tab.
  5. Choose Tax Event XYZ.
  6. In the Summary Layout table press Add Row and maintain a row with Tax Rate Type ABC. 

If you found the combo of tax event and tax rate is already maintained per the steps above, the error is then caused by the 2nd root cause.

You can check and amend it with following steps:

  1. Go to the Business Configuration work center and access the Tax Returns for Goods and Services - DEF activity, either via Overview or from the Activity list of the Implementation Project. 
  2. In the activity, select Product Tax Return DEF.
  3. Choose Tax Return Type 1 - VAT Return.
  4. Go to the Tax Event sub-tab.
  5. Choose Tax Event XYZ.
  6. In the Summary Layout table, you have maintained Tax Percentage, e.g, 5%.

Then, check the tax rate of VAT and Tax Rate Type ABC with following steps.

  1. Go to the Business Configuration work center and access Tax on Goods and Services, either via Overview or from the Activity list of the Implementation Project. 
  2. Go to Define Tax Rate Schedules,
  3. You will see the tax rate of VAT and Tax Rate Type ABC is not 5%.
  4. You need to either update the two tax rate to be the same or keep the tax rate in Tax Returns for Goods and Services - DEF activity as empty.

After that, execute the VAT Return Run again. This time no error will be reported.
