3609800 - Error 'TIN/UIN Number is missing'

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.
