Sales tax group and Item sales tax group on a free text invoice

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

When I entered a free text invoices for an Europe customer as the following.

I put Exempt in Sales tax group and SER-Tax in Item sales tax group. I got error message saying "The combination of Sales tax group EXEMPT and Item sales tax group SER-TAX is not valid since it doesn't result in a list of Sales tax codes. Please provide a valid combination of Sales tax group and Item sales tax group."

Would you please advise how can I fix it?

    Hello,

    EU sales tax works based on the combination of Sales Tax group and Item sales tax group and a sales tax code has to be common for these two.

    In your case, there is no sales tax code common for your selected tax group and item tax group, this is the reason this error is coming.

    Check in tax module to resolve this issue or select the correct combination.

    Hi gigi,

    Can you tell what you need to achieve as Tax posting for this invoice? Depending on the outcome, you need to check and complete the Tax setup (like mentioned by Ramit) or disable a parameter which will check for valid combinations.

    Hi,

    Adding to others , you need to make sure you have expected sales code present on both sales tax group and item sales tax group.

    Hi Gigi

    The solution is to look at the sales tax codes selected on the sales tax group and item sales tax group. The sales tax code you want to use is missing in one of the two groups.

    Best regards

    Sten

    Hi Gigi,

    Tax configuration in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operation is working as a combination of Sales Tax Group & Item sales Tax Group.

    For example, you require to post-transaction with Sales Tax Code = "Exempt" having a rate of Tax is "0" or Mark as "Exempt" in Sales tax Group.

    In this case, you need to select both "Sales tax Group" and "Item Sales tax group" having the Same Sales Tax code.

    As you can see this group. On selection of this group in the transaction, the system will select Sales Tax Code as "EUS" which will result in Zero rates / Exempt Tax posting.

    Let us know if this helps.

    Thanks,
