Only output tax is allowed for account XXXXXX PT01, A1 is not allowed Message no. FS215

Hello All,

We are facing an issue while posting the billing document to accounting with error.

Only output tax is allowed for account XXXXXX PT01, A1 is not allowed

Message no. FS215

Scenario

1. Standard sales order is created for a customer in Portugal (ABC) through Portugal Sales Area (PT10-01-10) belonging to Portugal company code (PT01)

2. The delivering plant (DE10) in the sales order belongs to German company code (DE01).

3. Delivery is created. PGI completed successfully.

3. Intercompany invoice (IV) is created successfully.

4. Customer invoice (F2) is created but not getting released to accounting with above error.

Observations:

1. In the customer invoice (F2), the tax condition is MWAI. The company code is PT10, destination country PT, Sales area PT10-01-10. Deliverying plant in item DE10.

2. The system is picking up condition record from either of the following access sequences.

     2.1 Departure country (DE) - Destination country (PT)

      2.2 Domestic taxes - Country (DE) - Tax Classification Customer (1) - Tax Classification Material (1)

3. Since the condition record is picking up (VK11) with DE as a country, it is maintained with A1 (19% output tax) tax code from tax procedure TAXD which is for Germany.

4. From the error it seems that the system is trying to link A1 output tax code with Portugal company code PT01.

5. A1 is not an output tax code in Portugal tax procedure TAXPT. It is an input tax code.

6. L0, L1, L2 are output tax codes for Portugal which we can not maintain in VK11 because the system is picking up DE as the country.

Please advise how can we post this customer invoice to accounting?

Thank you.

Assuming that other invoices are posting correctly, I suggest you to check the account assignment groups in material master and customer master as the system is picking wrong GL accounts.

We are facing issue in the customer invoice F2 and NOT in the inter-company invoice IV.

Please advise if you can help.

We are facing issue in the customer invoice F2 and NOT in the inter-company invoice IV.

I understand that. I thought that SAP Note & other related SAP Note mention that, will be able to provide a hint to you.

Anyways, ideally for taxation cross company sales scenario, you should have following key combination for proper determination tax condition value in your main invoice:

9XX - SalesDocTy/Sales org./Distr. Chl/Plant/Sold-to pt

Note: this need to be placed above existing in sequence to current key combination.

As current key combination

Departure country (DE) - Destination country (PT)
or
Domestic taxes - Country (DE) - Tax Classification Customer (1) - Tax Classification Material (1)

may not be equip enough to cater cross company sales tax account determination.

I assume that under Germany's Double tax treaty, tax paid can be offset in one of two countries against tax payable in the other. Here you want to collect tax in Portugal company code (PT01)

Now, entries will be:

SalesDocTy	Sales org	Distr. Chl	Plant	Sold-to pt	Tax Code
ZSTO	PT10	01	DE10	Portuguese Customer	L0/ L1/L2 Where, Country as Portugal

In addition to that, check FTXP for your output tax code, are you able to see tax G/L account details for your tax condition type.

If you don't find any entry, then maintain the same.

Else. check with you FI teammate, whether correct tax G/L account are getting determine or not.

I hope this should help you.

Thank you JP for the possible solution.

We created a new access sequence table which resolved the issue.

Thanks and regards,

Unfortunately this is not the issue we are facing.

Reproducing the Issue

Post an FI document, also via BAPI / IDOC, Logistic Transaction, HR transaction or Custom Program and involve a TAX CODE with 2 or more Account Key active. Example: you want to post to a G/L account which is defined as an incoming G/L tax account (MWSKZ = '<' Input Tax category) but the tax code is defined as an output tax code (MWART = 'A').

We are using A1 which is output tax code and account 216100 allows output tax

[jpfriends079]

 A1 which is output tax code and account 216100 allows output tax

To resolve this, if you want both input tax and output tax amount in same Tax G/L account. Then maintain Tax category(MWSKZ) as * - All tax types allowed.
