An error message appears when trying to add a tax number type for country Japan in Business Partner Data under Tax Data.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Business Partner Data work center.
- Go to the Accounts view.
- Select your Account ID ABC (ABD means the Account ID).
- Select Edit -> Financial Data.
- Go to the Tax Data and select Add Row.
- Add Country as Japan.
- Now select Tax Number Type: No data is shown under Tax Number Type.
- Error Messages appear: 'Enter tax number type; Enter tax number'.
Or
- Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
- Go to the Common Tasks view.
- Click New Invoice Without Purchase Order button.
- Enter all the mandatory invoice data.
- A warning message appears when posting the invoice: 'Company 1 not registered in country Japan, define Taxnumber as Type 2'.
Cause
For Japan there's no special tax number type, which is used for reporting or calculation.
Resolution
Since there is no tax number provided for Japan, it cannot be maintained. Therefore the warning message appears when posting a supplier invoice informing about the missing tax information, but the posting can still be processed.
