3512730 - Cancel Tax Return with Completed Status

Symptom

An error is discovered in a VAT Return that has a status of Completed. This VAT Return needs to be canceled.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Tax Management work center.
  2. Go to the VAT Returns view.
  3. Select the Tax Return ID 123 (123 refers to the Tax Return ID).
  4. The Tax Return Status is 'Completed'.
  5. Due to an error in the tax return, cancellation of the tax return is necessary.

Cause

A VAT return with the status Completed, for which an externally-initiated tax payment has already been triggered, can only be canceled if the payment allocation in the Payment Management work center is removed. However, a VAT return cannot be canceled if payment clearing has already been completed.

Resolution

This is the expected system behavior.
