FI tax code

Tax code does not exist or is not valid

Vendor/customer invoice or journal posting fails because the tax code is unknown or not valid for the country/company-code context.

Likely root causes

  1. The tax code was not created for the country procedure in the target system.
  2. The interface sends a source-system tax code without mapping it to SAP.
  3. The company code/country used by the posting is different from the one for which the tax code exists.

What to inspect

  1. Tax code entered in the document or payload.
  2. FTXP/customizing for the relevant country tax procedure.
  3. Company-code country and tax procedure.
  4. Middleware/interface tax-code mapping.

Resolution path

  1. Confirm the intended tax treatment with Finance/Tax.
  2. Correct the inbound tax-code mapping or use the valid SAP tax code.
  3. Create/change a tax code only through approved tax configuration.
  4. Recalculate and retest tax before reposting.
