• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 9P614 - Enter the same tax code types (input or output) for old and new code ?

  The SAP error message 9P614 indicates that there is a mismatch between the tax code types when trying to change or create a tax code. Specifically, it means that the old tax code and the new tax code you are trying to use must be of the same type, either both input tax codes or both output tax codes.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  Mismatch in Tax Code Types: You are attempting to replace or modify a tax code where the existing tax code is classified as an input tax code (used for purchases) and the new tax code you are trying to assign is classified as an output tax code (used for sales).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the tax code definitions that are not aligned, leading to this error when trying to make changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Tax Code Types:
  
  Verify the type of the old tax code and the new tax code you are trying to use. Ensure that both are either input or output tax codes.
  You can check this in the SAP system by navigating to the tax code configuration settings (Transaction Code: OBYZ or FTXP).
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Tax Code:
  
  If you need to change the tax code, ensure that you are using a tax code of the same type as the existing one. If the old tax code is an input tax code, the new one must also be an input tax code, and vice versa for output tax codes.
  
  
  
  Modify Tax Code Configuration:
  
  If necessary, you may need to create a new tax code that matches the type of the old tax code or adjust the existing tax code settings to align with your requirements.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for tax code management.
