Symptom
Error "RITA cannot be activated for country/region" is displayed during RITA (Registration for Indirect Taxation Abroad) activation for country France.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
In France, companies must submit their full accounting for the G/L account in a FEC file to the tax authorities. In case if RITA is activated, a FEC file is not delivered by SAP and foreign companies without a permanent establishment in France will need to develop their own FEC file.
For this reason, the "RITA cannot be activated for country/region"reason is selected to prevent the RITA activation for France by default.
Resolution
This default setting can be changed in the Configuration Activity "Manage Prevention of RITA Activation" (ID 105121).
