3757131 - Whether it is possible to deactivate a tax code line with multiple periods and existing posting SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, in SSCUI 101016 Define Tax Codes for Sales and Purchases, there is a tax code that has multiple periods and existing posting in production system.

Question is raised on whether it is possible to deactivate the tax line within the tax code in order to deactivate/delete the tax code or fix wrong postings.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

It is not possible to deactivate a tax code line with multiple periods and existing posting in production system.

This is because there are already posted documents using this tax code in the production system. Additionally, the deactivation of a tax rate is only possible for tax codes with a single period. The deactivation of the periods is also not possible due to existing postings.

The only viable solution is to create a new tax code, cancel the incorrect documents, and then repost them using the new tax code.
