Manual posting of TAX

[Former Member]

I want to configure TAX condition for my company:

Tax will be entered manually at header level during sales order creation. I need a guide/help which i can follow to help me configure this. I searched for this and found alot of stuff regarding automatic TAX posting for nothing that could help me with manual posting.

Hi Adnan,

Can you elaborate the business scenario? In what case you what tax to be determined in the header. There is general principle that tax is determined based on country, party involved and type material. When material is determined at item. Then how you can generalize tax amount at header for the whole sales transaction. Further, tax is regulated by Govt. of each country/state, not by individuals. Thus, tax rates would definitly be transprent.

FYI, Manual tax condition type is not possible. As this system will not be able to post tax code to the accounting entry for the tax transaction. If the tax code is not posted, then you will eventually end up with error msg no FF 709. Refer following SCN wiki for this msg:
