Symptom
The system crashes when you release the VAT Return.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Tax Management work center.
- Switch to the VAT Returns view.
- Show Tax Returns in Preparation, find XXX (where XXX represents the Tax Return in Preparation) and press Go.
- Click Release.
After a certain period the system crashes (runs into a backend error).
Cause
- This issue might occur because the amount of data in the VAT Return is too much.
- You can reduce the amount of data by releasing the VAT Return monthly.
Resolution
- Go to the Tax Management work center.
- Go to the Periodic Tasks view.
- Switch to the VAT Return Runs sub-view.
- Press New -> Tax Return Run.
- Enter a Run Description.
- Choose a Tax Return Arrangement ID.
- Select From and To dates: DD.MM.YYYY so that they fall within a month.
- Press Set to Active.
- Press Save and Close.
The previous error message is not raised when releasing the VAT Return since the data amount has been reduced.
