3423718 - Down payment request error "Tax code with non-deductible, distributable amount not permitted"

Symptom

It is not possible to create down payment request via App 'Manage Supplier Down Payment Requests' due to error: "Tax code with non-deductible, distributable amount not permitted".

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Enter App Manage Supplier Down Payment Requests.
  2. Select Supplier, Special G/L indicator and enter Amount.
  3. Add 'Tax Code' and 'Tax Amount' under More Details Tab.
  4. Simulate.
  5. Error: "Tax code with non-deductible, distributable amount not permitted".

Cause

Incorrect tax code used.  Tax codes with non-deductible portion (NVV), which is to be distributed, must not be used for down payments.

With the down payment request with such a tax code, the non-deductible portion is not calculated from the tax amount.
Then this causes a document balance when posting the down payment, since no line, to which this portion could be assigned, is found for the non-deductible portion. 

Resolution

Create/use a tax code with the same percentage rates, but for which a separate line item is created for the non-deductible portion(account key 'NAV' instead of 'NVV'). As a result, a separate item, which is cancelled again with the down payment clearing, is generated during the down payment posting for the non-deductible portion of the input tax. Posting of the final settlement is then made with the normal tax code; and this is where the required distribution of the non-deductible portion to the expense line items is carried out.
