Tax Setup Errors

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi:


In Microsoft Dynamics NAV/Business Central, I have done everything mentioned online to combat the attached error but no success.  


It seems like I'm always getting a VAT error, a sales tax error, or a "this or that" tax error every time I try to set something up in a demo company and test it. 


This time, it's with Service Management.


Is there not a way of getting rid of these tax errors in a demo company, once and for all?

    Your tax posting setup is more than likely correct. It is the data that uses it which needs the work. Items, resources, g/l accounts and charge items will all need that setup. If they don't have the right data then you'll get that type of error.

    Hi Josh:

    Yes, those are good points!  In fact, right after I posted this, I determined that it must be an issue at the Customer level.

    I determined this by noticing, afterward, that I cannot even post any Sales Invoice - service or otherwise - without getting this error.  And, this is true of any customer - not just one.

    I thought that I had looked over everything customer related but apparently not.

    Do you know what I could be overlooking?

    For sales tax it could be customer related in terms of regional data. But given your error states it has a business posting group of DEFAULT I think you're covered. Whether it is tax or general posting setup it's all about combinations. You deal with a business - customer or vendor cover those. You deal with a product or service - anything at line level covers that. You error has a blank for the product aspect of the combination.

    Hi Josh:

    Wow.  I have gone over everything, now.  I'm just not seeing what I'm missing.  

    Any other thoughts?

    Thanks!

    Hi:

    In the Sales Invoice, I simply had to go to the VAT Bus. Posting Group field for the customer underneath the line item and change it to "DEFAULT".  Posting was successful!

    But, I still cannot get a successful creation of a sales invoice upon signing the contract in Service Management.  Any thoughts?

    Thanks!
