Changing Tax Code in Sales Order

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I've a requirement to change the tax code of MWST CT from normal value XX to a new tax code in sales order for few excpetion cases.

For normal cases the tax code will always be XX for MWST CT in the sales order. However for very specific business need the tax code for the existing sales order needs to be changed to a new value. The need for changing the tax code always arise after creating the sales order.

Kindly suggest the possible ways to meet this requirement.

Regards,

Ashish

Dear Ashish

Though it is not recommended to change the tax code in sale order, you can achieve the same. For that, first you need to maintain a different tax code in VK11 / UTXJ. Say for example, if you maintain for the combination of 1::1, maintain a different tax code for the combination of 2:::1.

Now in your sale order go to Billing Document tab at item level where you can see the tax classification field. As already said, by default, 1 will flow in all the four boxes. Change the first box to 2 and press Enter key. Now check the tax code whether it is changed.

Changing the tax code in the sales order is not std sp procedure and I don;t think sp allow tampering with it either.

The taxes are based on the combination for customer and material and I suggest that you maintain all tax codes at the material and customer level for all combinations possible and each customer is alloted one unique one.

What are the possible reason why tax changes. It can only be the delivery address is changed. If the material iself changes then you may have to modify the sales order itself but if there is a change in the ship to party then....

Now if the shipto party changes then you can always redetermine taxes in billing where the actual taxes will be redetermined based on the new conditions.

If you see the tax line item in the sales order you will see that it is greyed out.

You can change the excise duty but not taxes.

This is the default where the condition type is prohibited from changing manually. But if you change the setting to Free or manual then you can change the value of tax bu the tax code will be as determined by the combination of material and shipto.

Change the tax classification in sale order during document processing. For the different key combination you can trigger a different tax code.
