SAP payroll and incorrect tax company being sent to BSI

[former_member372554]

I ran a payroll calculation simulation in our test environment, using an employee who is in company 706, assigned to a personnel area (1305) linked to a tax company (US04).  When I run a payroll simulation, it correctly reports tax company US04 in the logs until I get to the USTAX node.  Even then, in the "Input", it reports tax company US04 in the TCRT prior to the "Processing".  In the "Processing", there is a node entitled, "Employee Data".  In that node, the tax company has changed to US02!  I have checked the employee's Master Data and do not see the US02 tax company code used anywhere.  I have also checked T5UTL, V_T5U0P, BTXCOMP, and feature UTXRP, and all look fine.  Does anyone know where I should look to find out where "Employee Data" is getting the incorrect tax company for this employee?

Hi Kathy,

Please check if FEIN attached to Tax Company US04 is not set-up for US02 in table T5UTH.

Possibly FEIN for US02 mapped in table T5UTH is being used for mapping for US04.

Thanks,

Ameet,

Thank you - this fixed the issue.  Here is specifically what had happened.  On the T5UTH table, US02 was linked to the EIN "APPLIED FOR", since it was being used for a tax authority that we did not have the EIN yet.  Then, I mistakenly had not created an "APPLIED FOR" entry on T5UTH for US04, yet used "APPLIED FOR" on the T5UTI table for US04 tax authority "WY".  Frankly, I am surprised there wasn't an edit to prevent me from doing adding that entry on T5UTI, since US04 with "APPLIED FOR" didn't exist on T5UTH.  Regardless, today, I created an entry on T5UTH for US04 and a real EIN.  I then updated T5UTI to use the new EIN.  Now it calculates the taxes correctly.
