Tax Percent. Rate with zero value incorrectly entered in Tax Code or other unwanted conditions. 

Cause

Defining Tax Codes for Time-Dependent Taxes

See restrictions in section: Undoing Changes Made During Testing

Resolution

  • Account keys which are not part of Tax Code must be left blank in Tax Code. 
  • Do not create enter value of 0,00 (Zero Value) for account keys which are not part of Tax Code.
  • Do not fill unneeded conditions.

  • Example of correct Tax customizing:
    For this specific tax code the account keys MWS with value 19,000- and VST with value of 19,000 are part of tax code. 
    All other Acct keys are not relevant for tax code.  The tax percent. rate is blank i.e. no value is placed in for the acct keys which are not part of the tax code.  It is incorrect to enter value of zero i.e. 0,00 in these lines as they cannot be removed. 



  • Recommendation: When creating new tax codes in Configuration Activity Define Tax Codes for Sales and Purchases review standard Tax codes provided by SAP Best Practices as guide.

  • If there is a tax code with multiple tax rates set and there is the need to deactivate line(s) and if the following conditions exist:
    The tax code was not transported in P already
    There are no postings with tax code concerned, if there are postings on the test/quality system they need to be reversed first. 
    Create an incident under component FI-GL-GL-F referring to this kba stating what lines need to be deactivated with consent of SAP to do so. 

  • If these conditions are not met, then a new tax code must be created with correct lines set.
