Symptom
You want to add Tax Number Type in the Supplier/Customer master data for Country - Kosovo. But, you cannot find the Standard Tax Number Type.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Payables work center.
- Click on Suppliers View.
- Select the Supplier and Edit - Financial Data.
- Go to Tax Data tab.
- Click Add Row under Tax Numbers.
- Enter Country - XK - Kosovo.
- In the Tax Number Type field, you cannot find any record.
Note - Above steps apply to Customer master data also.
Cause
Unfortunately, the standard Tax Number Type is not provided for the Country - XK – Kosovo, due to:
- It is not a recognized by ISO 3166. Basically, it is a region of the country Serbia.
- Technically, it is not possible because there is a dependence on the pre-requisite scoping question 'Do you want to add countries/regions with preliminary ISO codes?'. Follow the below steps to find this question:
- Business Configuration work center.
- Click on Implementation Projects view.
- Filter with All Current Projects.
- Select First Implementation (that should be in Started status).
- Click on Edit Project Scope and then Next repeatedly until we come to step 4 Questions.
- Scoping Element Built-in Services and Support Business Environment.
- Drill down to Units, Rates and Cross-Application Data.
- Click on Business Option Countries/Regions with preliminary ISO codes (1)
- Question 'Do you want to add countries/regions with preliminary ISO codes?'.
- Select the checkbox under column 'In Scope' (this is a pre-requisite for the tax number functionality to be delivered, which may not be the case with all customers)
If this question is NOT checked, then the country code for Kosovo won't be available in the system and as a result, the Tax Number Type functionality will result in foreign key errors that would arise due to the missing Kosovo country code.
Resolution
This is a current system behaviour.
