Tax code could not be determined

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

I am working with new version SRM 7.0 and I have the following problem.

After doing all the customizing on SRM > SRM server > Cross-Application Basic Settings >Tax Calculation

- Determine System for Tax Calculation --> "Tax calculation occurs in Backend" radio button

- Enter Tax Code --> We have defined all the tax codes as well as in ECC

- Determine Tax Code for Country/Product Category --> Settled for import and export

- Assign Enterprise Buyer Tax Code to FI System --> Assigned to our FI system

When we are trying to create a SC, we get the error "Tax code could not be determined".

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance and regards

May I know how you resolved it ? I am having the same issue. Looks like a bug in BBP_TAX_DETERMINE_TAX_CODE.

Thanks

Hi there,

Please check the following information:

IMG: ->SRM Server ->Cross-Application Basic Settings

->Tax Calculation

->Determine Tax Code for Country/Product Category

In the IMG documentation the following is stressed:

- If you set up a product category, you also have to enter a country.

- If you leave the "Country" field empty, you cannot specify a

Category ID"

Also check the following settings:

IMG: ->SRM Server ->Cross-Application Basic Settings

->Tax Calculation ->Determine System for Tax Calculation

If for example, tax calculation takes place in R/3

'Tax Calculation Occurs in R/3' should be selected.

- If you created another international entry for country SE please

be aware that a corresponding entry must also exist in R/3 Backend,

otherwise the mapped tax code can not be found and field tax code

remains blank in the shop transaction.

In the customizing entry for determine tax code for country/Product

category, please remove the '*' and replace with just a space to

assign a tax code for all product categories.

====

Also please ensure you have a tax code set as default in

IMG documenation for node ->Enter Tax Code

Additionally I refer to FAQ note 501054, top 1. which provides

information about MM tax determination rules.

If tax code is blank the SRM and MM tax determination rules

are undermined and this cannot be recommended.

I can say that this error comes from Function Module

bbp_tax_determine_tax_code.

BBP_TAX 001 Tax code could not be determined

and that the following attempts within this FM are made to get the

tax code.

If the above suggestions don't work then I would suggest reviewing the code of this

FM and looking at the checks made.

Hope these suggestions work.

Kind regards,

Hi all,

Thanks for your replies.

Muthu I am the consultant and I have defined all the tax procedures. After doing that the system does not work, that is why I posted this threath.

Matthew, thanks a lot for your answer. As I have written in my initial description, all the settings you told me were done already and the system is not working yet. I have checked also the Function Module bbp_tax_determine_tax_code, and it is blank so it should not be because of that.

Any other idea?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Miguel

BBP_TAX_DETERMINE_TAX_CODE - is called during PO creation time?

How REQUESTER knows the the tax code - I dont agree on this.

since Tax code calculation upon vendor location with material group etc.

for example REQUESTER did not assign vendor in her cart.it is inscrutable for me .

Ask your FICO consultant what tax code and Tax procedure defined in ECC system. He can helps you or take MM consultant for further help.

however SRM tax codes are informal only if tax calculations are calculated in back end.

but tax codes and procedures must be defined then only you can order a successful shopping cart for your tax code.
