3723654 - 'Posting failed - Tax jurisdiction code could not be determined' (CTE)

Symptom

The following error happens during post of Concur expense reports:

Posting failed. Tax jurisdiction code could not be determined.
Message no. CTE_FIN_POSTING008

Diagnosis
Tax jurisdiction code could not be determined. For certain countries/regions, a tax jurisdiction code is required in addition to the SAP tax code.

Environment

  • SAP S/4HANA
  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition
  • SAP S/4HANA integration with SAP Concur solutions
  • SAP ERP integration with SAP Concur solutions
  • SAP ERP
  • Concur Expense

Cause

By standard the SAP Integration with S/4HANA Public Cloud can only handle Jurisdiction Codes for Canada, all other countries such as USA, India and Brazil are not supported.

Resolution

Either deactivate tax calculation in SAP Concur to prevent US reports from carrying tax information.

Or implement custom logic in BADI_CTE_FP_CB_CHG_TAX_CODE to change the tax from domestic to non-domestic with below parameters:

      nondomesticcode = 'I0'.
      isnondomestictax = 'X'.
