Symptom
While creating a supplier invoice linked to a purchase order, posting fails.
Error FF848 appears: "Entry of tax for &1 &2 is not possible because of tax base 0".
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Create Supplier Invoice app.
- Enter all the required fields and set the amount.
- Attempt to post the invoice and observe error FF848: "Entry of tax for &1 &2 is not possible because of tax base 0".
Cause
The G/L account assigned for input tax clearing is configured with the tax category "input tax account", which is unsuitable for a tax clearing account.
-
Tax Category '>' - 'Output tax account' should be set only in output tax G/L accounts.
-
Tax Category '<' - 'Input tax account' should be set only in input tax G/L accounts.
Resolution
- Identify the G/L account used as the input tax clearing account in the supplier invoice line item.
- Review the tax category configured for that G/L account in the activity 'Edit G/L Account Centrally'.
- If the tax category is set to "input tax account" (<) or "output tax account" (>), change it to a clearing category (for example, "*", "-", "+") appropriate for clearing accounts.
- Save the G/L account changes and retry posting the supplier invoice.
