• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDOCUMENT_IN_EINV060 - Invoice can't have CGST,SGST Tax Values for Exports ?

  The SAP error message EDOCUMENT_IN_EINV060 indicates that an invoice cannot have Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) and State Goods and Services Tax (SGST) tax values when it is related to exports. This is because, under Indian GST law, exports are considered zero-rated supplies, meaning that no GST is applicable on exported goods or services.
  Cause:
  
  Export Transaction: The invoice is being processed for an export transaction, which should not include CGST and SGST.
  Incorrect Tax Configuration: The tax codes or tax determination settings in the system may be incorrectly configured, leading to the inclusion of CGST and SGST in an export invoice.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a manual error in entering the tax values while creating the invoice.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Invoice Details: Check the invoice to ensure that it is correctly marked as an export transaction. Ensure that the appropriate tax codes for zero-rated supplies are being used.
  Tax Code Configuration: Verify the tax code configuration in the system. Ensure that the tax codes for exports are set up to not include CGST and SGST. You may need to use a tax code that is specifically designated for zero-rated exports.
  Correct Tax Values: If CGST and SGST have been incorrectly entered, remove these tax values from the invoice. Ensure that only the applicable tax (if any) is included, which should typically be zero for exports.
  Consult with Tax Experts: If you are unsure about the correct tax codes or configurations, consult with your tax compliance team or an SAP consultant who specializes in GST compliance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  GST Compliance: Familiarize yourself with the GST regulations regarding exports in India. Exports are zero-rated, and businesses can claim a refund of the input tax credit.
  SAP Configuration: Review the configuration settings in SAP related to tax determination for export transactions. This may involve checking the condition records for tax codes and ensuring that the correct settings are applied for export scenarios.
  Documentation: Ensure that all necessary documentation for export transactions is in place, including shipping bills and export invoices, to support compliance with GST regulations.
  
  By addressing the above points, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your export invoices are compliant with GST regulations.
