Symptom
In a scenario where Ship-to country is different from the Account's country, you would like to know how the Ship-To party affects the determination of the Customer's Tax Registration Number in the Sales Order.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Sales Orders workcenter
- Open the Sales Order ABC (where ABC represents the relevant Sales Order ID).
- Click on the View All button.
- Navigate to the Items tab.
- Go to the Taxes sub tab.
The Customer's Tax Registration Number is not the expected one.
- Go to Account Management Work Center
- Open Corporate Account EFG (where EFG stands for the Account ID).
- Click on the View All button.
- Navigate to the Financial Data tab.
- Go to the Tax Data Sub tab.
There are multiple Tax Numbers maintained for the account, however the one picked for Sales Order ABC was not the expected.
Cause
When the Ship-to Country is different than the Account's Country and the Tax Number is maintained for the Ship-To Country in the Customer Account's Master data, then the Tax number maintained for the Ship-To Country will be determined in the Sales Order for Customer's Tax Registration, taking priority over any other Tax Number maintained in the account's financial data.
Resolution
This is the expected system behavior.
Note: The tax number might not be expected one when the Ship-to country is US or India if the state is maintained in the Ship-To Address. In this case the system will only determine the tax number for the Ship-to country if the State is removed from the Ship-to Address.
