Symptom
- In the SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, certain tax codes should no longer be included in the Romania Sales & Purchase Journal output.
- When attempting to delete the relevant tax codes in Configuration Activity 103011 (Define Enhanced Tax Box Structure), the system triggers the following validation error:
- "Deletion is not allowed. Tax Group is used in the mapping."
Environment
- SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud 2502, Romanian Localization
- SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud 2508, Romanian Localization

- Select the corresponding Tax Box Structure Type of the Romania Sales & Purchase Journal:
- PJDT (Romania Deferred)
