• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 9P615 - &1 is output tax code but value of "SrcInCode" should be input tax code ?

  The SAP error message 9P615 indicates a mismatch between the expected tax code type and the actual tax code being used in a transaction. Specifically, the message states that the system expected an input tax code but found an output tax code instead. This typically occurs in scenarios involving tax determination, such as during invoice processing or when posting accounting documents.
