  The SAP error message F7228, which states "Chrt/accts &: Acct for tax on sales/purch. payable transf. pstg missing," typically occurs when there is a configuration issue related to tax accounts in the Financial Accounting (FI) module. This error indicates that the system cannot find the appropriate account for tax on sales or purchases during the posting process.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The account for tax on sales/purchases is not defined in the chart of accounts for the relevant company code.
  Incorrect Account Assignment: The account assignment for tax-related postings may not be correctly set up in the tax configuration.
  Tax Code Issues: The tax code being used in the transaction may not be properly configured to link to the correct tax accounts.
  Chart of Accounts: The chart of accounts being used may not have the necessary tax accounts defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB40 (for tax accounts) or OBY6 (for company code settings) to check if the tax accounts are correctly assigned.
  Ensure that the tax accounts for sales and purchases are defined in the chart of accounts.
  
  
  
  Define Tax Accounts:
  
  Use transaction code OBYZ to define the tax accounts for the relevant tax codes. Make sure that the accounts for tax on sales and tax on purchases are specified.
  
  
  
  Review Tax Codes:
  
  Check the configuration of the tax codes using transaction code FTXP. Ensure that the tax codes are linked to the correct accounts for tax on sales and purchases.

  If the chart of accounts does not have the necessary accounts, you may need to create them using transaction code FS00 (to create or change G/L accounts).
