401891 - INVOIC-FI: Tax code for plants abroad

[former_member609649]

Hello Experts,

we have plants abroad active and errors with incoming IDOC invoices. Error "Assigning a new tax key for & and VAT 0.000 not possible" or "Assigning a new tax key for & and VAT not possible". We can solve this manually when we enter in OBCD the land of the goods recepient. I found out via debugging the note in System active: 401891 - INVOIC-FI: Tax code for plants abroad. There is explained:

"

If you use this function, please note that in intercompany billing for triangular deals with foreign plants abroad there must be no goods recipient segments.
Reason:
Using the data in the IDoc, the program cannot determine whether the goods recipient is a business partner or a plant of your company abroad. If a goods recipient segment exists for a foreign plant, the program assumes that this is a case of "invoice for a plant abroad". This may result in the fact that an incorrect tax indicator or none at all is found (FD008).

If you have not used the function for plants abroad so far, the goods recipient segments have been ignored. After applying this note, an adjustment in SD might become necessary.

"

But in the IDOCs there is a goods recipient segment. So how should the adjustment should look like in SD in order the OBCD is executed "normal" again, without reading land of goods recipient.

Thank you in advance!

Kind Regards

Johann
