Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
  2. Go to the Invoices and Credit Memos view.
  3. Select the relevant Supplier Invoice.
  4. Click Post.
  5. Error 'Account determination is missing for item type Input Tax. Specify account determination in Chart of Accounts XYZ and Account Determination Profile PQR Column Path Tax->Input Tax->Input Tax,Item Type Input Tax.' occurs.

Cause

Tax Code applied in the invoice is X-Domestic Purchase, Standard Rate, so for this tax code the applicable tax event is XY-Domestic Purchase.

For this Tax Event, the Account Determination Group maintained is ABC (under the activity Account Determination for Tax Events) and you have already maintained this account determination group under Account Determination in Chart of Accounts XYZ and Account Determination Profile PQR, Column Path Tax, Input Tax.

But, the above determination fails when your Company is in, for example, 'US - United States' and in the invoice the Tax Country is 'IE - Ireland', then we always treat the taxes as Tax Abroad. In this case then taxes are by default posted on Account Determination Group DEF which is for tax abroad.

X stands for Tax Code.

XY stands for Tax Event.

ABC stands for Account Determination Group.

DEF stands for Account Determination Group.

Resolution

  1. In the Business Configuration work center, navigate to the fine-tune activity Charts of Accounts, Financial Reporting Structures, Account Determination (either via the Implementation project or via Overview).
  2. Choose Account Determination, and then select Tax, Input Tax, Input Tax and click Add Row.
  3. Under Account Determination Group for Taxable Event, enter the Account Determination Group DEF and the General Ledger Account YYY and save.

YYY stands for General Ledger Account.
