Cause

The validity of the bank account maintained for the tax authority starts on a later date than the tax payment's date that you are trying to approve. Therefore, the system could not find any valid bank details for the date on which you are trying to make the payment.

Resolution

To post the tax payment, you need to change the validity period of the bank account.

  1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
  2. Go to the Company Tax Arrangements view.
  3. Search respective Tax Authority Id: 1234.
  4. Click on Edit -> Financial Data tab.
  5. Go to the Bank Data sub-tab.
  6. Check the Valid From and the Valid To columns and adjust the validity period of the bank account details so that it is valid on the Tax Payment date.

Note that the Valid From column is hidden per default. It can be displayed through the Personalize menu, at the top of the screen (The personalization is user specific, if you wish to display the column to all users, use the adaptation mode).
