3743968 - Requirement to Maintain Tax Code at Line Item Level in RFQ Quotation in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

In the RFQ quotation, there is no field available to capture or maintain the tax code.

Environment

 SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go To the Manage RFQ.
  2. Go to the items.
  3. Found that there is no tax field available.

Cause

Standard system design.

Resolution

Tax codes cannot be directly entered or maintained in RFQ headers or items in the standard system.
This is standard system behavior and not a configuration gap .

  • RFQs are designed to capture supplier pricing and delivery terms, not tax information.
  • Tax determination occurs downstream in the procurement-to-pay process (PO creation, invoice verification).
  • Tax codes in RFQs serve as reference data for subsequent documents but are not maintained directly.

As a workaround 

  1. Maintain tax codes at the Purchase Order stage, not at the RFQ stage.
  2. Add tax code information as a note or attachment in the RFQ document.
  3. Communicate tax requirements to suppliers via RFQ text fields.
  4. Reference this information during PO creation or invoice verification .
