Wrong tax code determined for EU transaction

[Former Member]

Hi dear all,

Good day to whoever reading this post

We're a company of the EU nation.

We have one particular scenario, where we have sold-to-party and payer, both customer A, sitting outside EU;

And there are deliveries made for the customer's branch, customer B (ship-to-party), within the EU.

The VAT Tax number has been maintained for customer A in the customer master.

However right now, the customer tax classification is picking up from customer B which is the ship-to-party.

I was reading up SAP Note 872449 (Tax determination in Sales and Distribution) and it tells that

"If the payer has a VAT registration number in the customer master and the payer is not the same as the sold-to party, the

VAT registration number and the tax classification are taken from the payer (the ship-to party is then no longer relevant)"

I'm just wondering why does it happen. Could there be other factor on the tax determination?

Thanks to whoever giving ideas on my problem.
