Unable to add Incoming Excise Invoice

[Former Member]

Hi All,

While trying to add Incoming Excise Invoice, I'm gettin an error message,"Tax Definition, Message 173". I have checked the tax code and type, all the accounts are mapped here . What is causing this error and how to correctly add this document??

Thanks in advance,

Joseph

Hi,

Refer this note:559660 on Error message "Tax Definition (No.)" appears

Symptom

When attempting to add a document the message -"Tax Definition (No.)" appears

Other terms

Tax Definition, Error, Invoice, Credit Memo, AP Invoice, Message, Red, Add, Document, Invoice, Payment

Reason and Prerequisites

No General Ledger (G/L) account has been defined for tax groups used in the document

Solution

When you add a document that creates an automatic Journal Entry (e.g. Invoice, AP Invoice and Credit Memo), a relevant posting must be placed in accounting for the tax amounts in the document.

If you select tax groups with a tax % of more than zero, then this must be recorded in the accounting system to the appropriate G/L Account defined for the tax group in "Administration" -> "Definitions" -> "Define Tax Groups" -> "VAT Account" / "Acquisition Tax" columns

If no G/L Account has been selected for this kind of group, the system will display an error message, indicating the row number that contains a tax group with no G/L Account e.g.(1) and the document will not be added

To remedy the described problem please perform the following steps:

   1. Select "Administration"
   2. Select "Definitions"
   3. Select "Define Tax Groups"
   4. Locate the tax group you used in the document
   5. Locate the VAT Account column and select an appropriate G/L account
   6. In case this tax group is of Input Tax type and the Acquisition Tax column is flagged you need to also select a G/L account in the Acquisition Tax column

Hope this is helpful !

Hi...........

You need the Tax date which you have given it while defining tax type. So check first Tax Date whether its within transaction date or not.

Hi,

You must have choose simple tax codes in Tax formula. You have to choose CENVAT Tax Codes and CENVAT variables as well.

Pl. try this. It will resolve your problem.
