• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APPL_MM_IV_MODEL121 - Enter the tax country either for all tax codes or none. ?

  The SAP error message "APPL_MM_IV_MODEL121: Enter the tax country either for all tax codes or none" typically occurs in the context of materials management and invoice verification. This error indicates that there is an inconsistency in the tax code configuration for the materials or services being processed. Specifically, it suggests that the system expects either all tax codes to have a tax country defined or none at all.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Tax Code Configuration: Some tax codes may have a tax country defined while others do not. This inconsistency can lead to confusion in tax calculations during invoice processing.
  Missing Tax Country: The tax country may not be defined for certain tax codes in the system, which is required for proper tax determination.
  Incorrect Master Data: The material master or vendor master data may have incorrect or incomplete tax information.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Tax Code Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBYZ (or SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Basic Settings -> Check Tax Codes).
  Ensure that all tax codes used in your transactions have a tax country defined. If some tax codes are missing a tax country, update them accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Material and Vendor Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data (transaction code MM03) and vendor master data (transaction code XK03) to ensure that the tax information is correctly maintained.
  Ensure that the tax classification and tax codes are consistent and correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Maintain Tax Country in Tax Codes:
  
  If you are using multiple tax codes, ensure that they all have the same tax country defined. If you want to use different tax codes, make sure that all of them are configured properly.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you are unsure about how to make these changes or if you do not have the necessary permissions, consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant who specializes in tax configuration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
