1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
2. Go to the Tax Returns view of the respective tax return type, for example: VAT Returns.
3. Select the respective Tax Return and click Release.
4. Errors are displayed.

When the Tax Return has status In Preparation, if some additional tax relevant documents are posted which are valid for the reporting period, the errors will be raised since the Applicable Tax Amount and Total Tax Amount do not match.

Open the report Open VAT / Sales Tax Items, fill the selection and execute it: the Applicable Tax Amount calculated in this report and the Total Tax Amount shown for tax return PQR do not match.

1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
2. Go to the Tax Returns view of the respective tax return type, for example, VAT Returns.
3. Select the Tax Return PQR and click Delete.
4. Navigate back to VAT Return Run XYZ and reschedule the run.

Now the total Total Tax Amount shown in the new VAT Return and the Applicable Tax Amount shown in the Open VAT / Sales Tax Items report match.

In case the errors still occur and tax-effective documents for the relevant time-frame in both reports Reported VAT / Sales Tax Items AND Open VAT / Sales Tax Items are found, please report a case to SAP Support.
