3722613 - Billing Document Cannot Be Released to Accounting After RITA Activation (Cannot determine tax country)

Symptom

After activating RITA for Italy, billing documents cannot be released to Accounting for the Domestic scenario. 

During the release to accounting, the following exception is triggered: FOT_TXA012 - Document xxxxxxxxxxx: Cannot determine tax country/region for document (Company Code/Document Number). 

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2508 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Activate RITA functionality for Italy. 

  2. Create a Domestic Billing Document. 

  3. Release billing document to account posting. 

  4. An exception occurs during release to accounting (FOT_TXA012-Cannot determine tax country/region for document.). 

 
 
 

Cause

With activation of RITA, the Tax Departure Country becomes mandatory for tax determination. If the Tax Departure Country is not maintained in the condition records of the tax condition types triggered in the billing document (for example, LCIT, MWBO, etc.), the system is unable to determine or update the tax country during posting. As a result, the release to accounting fails with the exception: 

FOT_TXA012 - Cannot determine tax country/region for document.

Resolution

With activation of RITA, Tax Departure country needs to be maintained in the tax condition records for all the tax condition types triggered in the billing document
