ALE DEBMAS Tax Jurisdiction

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

We are in the process of ALEing some ~10,000 customers from one system to another, using the standard DEBMAS messaging type.  When doing so, we find some IDOCs failing to process on the inbound side due to the tax jurisdiction not being selected -- the dialog proposes two, and the background processing will not make a selection thus failing.  Going through the foreground for these IDOCs, we are able to select the tax jurisdiction then continuing processing.

For such a large quantity, is there any method offered by SAP that would allow us to do this ALE import and just select through the tax jurisdiction dialog?

You need to fill in the District field (ORT02) in addition to the address. E.g. Laurel, MD is spread over 3 different counties. If you put the county name in District, SAP will be able to identify the jurisdiction.

you are talking about automatic selection, but I assume you have the jurisdiction code already in the IDOC, don't you?

what is the exact error message?
