VAT (Sales tax) code validation on SO lines at posting

Posted on by Ugo

Hi all,

We encountered an issue with the sales orders lines VAT. We thought that the flag below would have stopped the posting of SOs if any of the lines would not retrieve the tax code (ie: if there is no setup combination or if either the sales tax group or item sales tax group are not entered). Unfortunately it seems that this flag is not working for SOs.

There are specific setups to control this in AP and also for the free text invoice but it seems there is nothing for SOs.

Are we missing something? Is this a potential bug? Or is it just by design? We would like to avoid customizing for this as well as to avoid using the setup from the main account Tax code validation.

I know that if the masters are setup correctly, and the relevant codes are defaulted correctly from the master data (customer and item) this would not happen, but we have a lot of new master data creation and sometimes they are not entered.

A system control would avoid a lot of issues.

Hello Ugo,

Did you challenge this again with MS? We are encountering the same issue and where wondering whether there is a real workaround or fix in place yet?

Thanks in advance for the reply.

Kind regards,
Jordi

,To add to this, MS is suggesting to do as below. The "workaround" at point nr 2, the part about "Check sales tax code" is exactly what we have tried, but it is not working, the invoices are being posted without VAT code retrieved on the lines.
