3807174 - Recurring supplier invoices fail with "G/L account requires a valid tax code" for G/L accounts with fixed tax category in Manage Recurring Supplier Invoices, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

• Creating a recurring supplier invoice against a G/L account with a fixed/mandatory tax category shows no tax code field in the template and the document cannot be created or corrected.
• Periodic run for the recurring entry stops with the error: "G/L account requires a valid tax code."
• In Manage Recurring Supplier Invoices, the tax code is not automatically derived from the G/L account master data.
• In Manage Supplier Invoices (single invoice), the correct tax code is proposed automatically from the G/L account and posts without error.
• Existing recurring entries created before the tax category restriction continue to work because the tax code was already set on the recurring entry.

• Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
• Fiori UI for Invoice Verification (Public Cloud)
• Apps: Manage Recurring Supplier Invoices; Manage Supplier Invoices

1. In G/L account master data, set a G/L account’s tax category to a fixed/mandatory tax code (for example, V0).
2. Open the Manage Recurring Supplier Invoices app.
3. Create a new recurring supplier invoice using that restricted G/L account.
4. Observe that no tax code field is available on the template and the document cannot be created or corrected.
5. Run the periodic posting for the recurring entry.
6. Observe the error: "G/L account requires a valid tax code."
7. Compare by posting a single supplier invoice for the same account in Manage Supplier Invoices and note that the tax code is derived automatically.

• Manage Recurring Supplier Invoices stores the tax code on the template G/L Account Items line and replays it on each run; it does not derive the tax code from the G/L account master data. This is by design.
• The failure occurs when the G/L account requires a tax code while the recurring template line holds no tax code; the periodic run then stops with "G/L account requires a valid tax code."
• Single interactive invoices are unaffected because that app proposes the tax code automatically from the account at entry time.

1. Open each impacted recurring template in Manage Recurring Supplier Invoices in edit mode.
2. In G/L Account Items, select the line for the tax-relevant G/L account and enter the required tax code (for example, V0) in the Tax Code field, then save.
3. If the Tax Code field is not available or is read-only, capture a screenshot and raise a follow-up for review, as the field is expected to be maintainable on the template line.
4. After all relevant templates store the correct tax code, set or enforce the account’s fixed/mandatory tax category in G/L account master data.
5. For new recurring templates going forward, enter the tax code on the G/L Account Items line during creation so it is stored and replayed on each scheduled run.
6. If the account does not need to enforce a tax code, no changes are required for recurring posting to proceed.
