• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCJ009 - Enter a vendor without withholding tax type in the saved document ?

  The SAP error message FCJ009, which states "Enter a vendor without withholding tax type in the saved document," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions involving vendors who are subject to withholding tax. This error indicates that the system has detected a vendor in the document that has a withholding tax type assigned, which is not allowed for the specific transaction you are trying to process.
  Cause:
  
  Vendor Configuration: The vendor you are trying to use in the transaction has a withholding tax type assigned in their master data. This is common for vendors who are subject to withholding tax regulations.
  Transaction Type: The transaction you are attempting to execute may not support vendors with withholding tax types. For example, certain payment types or document types may require that the vendor does not have withholding tax assigned.
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type you are using may have specific restrictions regarding the use of vendors with withholding tax.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data:
  
  Go to the vendor master data (transaction code XK03 or FK03) and check if the vendor has a withholding tax type assigned.
  If the vendor should not have a withholding tax type for this transaction, you may need to update the vendor master data to remove the withholding tax type.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Vendor:
  
  If the transaction requires a vendor without a withholding tax type, consider using a different vendor who does not have this type assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Type:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to execute is appropriate for the vendor you are using. If the transaction inherently requires a vendor without withholding tax, you may need to adjust your approach.
  
  
  
  Consult with Finance Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of changing vendor master data or if you need to keep the withholding tax type for compliance reasons, consult with your finance or accounting team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Settings:
  
  Review the configuration of the document type you are using to see if there are any restrictions regarding withholding tax. This may require access to the configuration settings in SAP.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Withholding Tax Configuration: Understanding how withholding tax is configured in your SAP system can help you manage vendor master data effectively. This includes knowing which vendors are subject to withholding tax and under what circumstances.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling withholding tax in your transactions.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or user manuals for more detailed information on vendor master data management and withholding tax handling.
