3214356 - G/L account not available for selection in New Manual Tax Entry

Symptom

You notice that certain G/L accounts are not available for selection when creating a New Manual Tax Entry.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Tax Management Work Center.
  2. Select VAT Entries.
  3. Click New Tax Entry


Result: In the drop-down G/L account, you notice that the G/L account XXX(XXX represents the G/L account ID) is not available for selection.

Cause

The G/L accounts available to choose in the drop-down are not G/L accounts, they are in fact G/L account Groups. These are defined in Business Configuration Activity Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination->Edit Account Determination Groups. Only the groups defined under General Ledger can be used if they have the indicator Available in Other Transactions checked.

Resolution

Per your business needs, make available the G/L account group required by marking them as Available in Other Transactions.
