Symptom
You are encountering an error message 'Direct postings to tax accounts (**) are not permitted' while using the migration object FI - G/L account balance and open/line item in the Migrate Your Data app.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Migrate Your Data app.
- Navigate to the corresponding migration project.
- Select the migration object 'FI - G/L account balance and open/line item'.
- Try to migrate open tax items / VAT line items and you encounter the error message 'Direct postings to tax accounts (**) are not permitted'.
Resolution
-
Open tax must be settled before data migration
- Tax code isn’t needed for the initial load of G/L account balance and open/line item using the migration cockpit and is therefore not supported
-
Exception: Deferred tax can be migrated with the migration activities for Open items payable and Open items receivable
