Symptom
Error "TIN/UIN Number is missing" occurs when importing a supplier invoice for a foreign vendor, particularly when the applicable tax rate is below 20%.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
- For a foreign vendor, a valid TIN/UIN is mandatory when the applicable tax rate is less than 20%.
- If the foreign vendor does not have a TIN/UIN, the system expects a tax rate of 20% or higher. This is the current standard system behavior
Resolution
- For a foreign vendor, if the applicable withholding tax rate is less than 20%, the following details need to be maintained in the Business Partner:
- Address
- Telephone/Cellphone Number
- Email ID
- UIN/Tax Number
- If the foreign vendor does not have a TIN/UIN, the current standard system behavior requires the applicable withholding tax rate to be 20% or higher.
Note: If tax category IN5 is not available in the Business Partner, maintain it using SSCUI 102415 – Maintain Tax Number Categories.
