Symptom
When attempting to post a Tax Payment, the following error message is displayed:
“Posting date must not be before posting date XX/XX/XXXX of tax return Z for [Country].”
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
-
Go to Tax Management work center.
- Click on New Tax Payment view.
- Enter the details.
- Click on Check.
- Error: “Posting date must not be before posting date XX/XX/XXXX of tax return Z for United States.”
NOTE: The error occurs for all countries. Here, the country name = United States is just an example.
Cause
Tax Payments can be posted on or after the End Date of the related Tax Return.
Example:
If a Tax Return is created for the period DD.MM.YYYY to DD.MM.YYYY, the posting date of the Tax Payment must be DD.MM.YYYY or later.
If a posting date earlier than the End Date is entered (e.g., DD.MM.YYYY), the system will treat the transaction as a Tax Prepayment, and the Tax Payment Type must be updated to Tax Prepayment accordingly.
Resolution
This is a standard system behavior.
