Reproducing the Issue

- Click Invoices and Credit Memos view.
- Search for the respective invoice.
- Select and click edit.
- Click Check button.
You will get the error messages.
Cause
The Tax information maintained in the Master Data of the Product/Supplier comes from a Non-Localized Country created via Localization Tool.
The root cause is that the system cannot find a Decision Tree for Withholding Tax for the respective Country.
Since there is no tax decision tree for your non-localized country for which you have already set up tax content using the Create Tax Content for Non-Localized Countries in SAP Cloud Applications Studio documentation.
Resolution
A Decision Tree for Withholding Tax needs to be configured for the respective Country.
Using the below links, you can go to the table Tax -> Withholding Tax -> Decision Trees -> How To create a tax decision tree.
The Automatic Determination or tax code will only work if the decision tree is configured.
As a workaround, you can manually change the Withholding Tax Code using the below steps:
- Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
- Go to the Common Tasks view -> New Invoice Without Purchase Order.
- Enter the relevant information.
- Click View All.
- Go to the Items tab.
- Go to the Taxes sub-tab.
- Select the Withholding Tax Details view.
Here you need to manually assign the Withholding Tax Code described in the Supplier/Product Master Data.
