Symptom

Warning: 'Check tax codes; chain transaction taxation may apply'.

Environment

 SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center

  2. Select the Invoices and Credit Memo view

  3. Search and open the particular Supplier Invoice X (X refers to invoice id)

  4. Click the View All button

  5. Select the Check button

  6. Warning displayed: 'Check tax codes; chain transaction taxation may apply'

  7. Open another Supplier Invoice Y with similar data but different supplier but it does not trigger the warning message.

Cause

For the affected invoice document, under Items tab, select the "Parties and Locations" sub-tab, there you can see in the "Ship-From" address, the data in the field C/O is different from the data maintained in the same field C/O in "Parties and Locations" tab under the "General" tab. So, the system displays the warning because the field has different values.

Resolution

Please maintain matching and correct data in similar fields in the business documents to avoid such messages.
