    Cause

    Invoice split occurred  because of the Seller Tax Number. In the sales order, the tax date for item XX  is before the Valid From date in the Company Tax Arrangements. The system did not determine the seller tax number for this line item. For remaining items in the Sales Order , the tax dates are after the Valid From Date in Company Tax Arrangements and the relevant seller tax number was determined. Thus leading to invoice split.(XX refers to line item number).

    You can check the Valid From date in Company Tax Arrangements by following the Below steps:

    1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
    2. Go to the Tax Authorities view.
    3. Edit the tax authorities relevant for the Country and the Company.
    4. Go to the Tax Company Arrangement tab.
    5. You can see the Valid From for the Company along with Tax numbers.

    Resolution

    In order to resolve the invoice split, you need change the tax date of the Line Item which does not have the Seller Tax Number determined to date which is later than the valid from date in the Company Tax Arrangements by following the below steps:

    1. Go to the Sales Orders work center and select the Sales Orders view.
