  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FF795 - Tax jurisdiction code cannot be determined since it is not unique ?

    The SAP error message FF795 indicates that the system is unable to determine a unique tax jurisdiction code for a transaction. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple tax jurisdiction codes exist for a given area or criteria, leading to ambiguity in tax calculations.

    Cause:

    1. Multiple Tax Jurisdictions: There are multiple tax jurisdiction codes defined for the same location or criteria in the system, and the system cannot determine which one to use.
    2. Configuration Issues: The tax jurisdiction codes may not be configured correctly in the system, leading to overlaps or conflicts.
    3. Missing Master Data: The master data for the relevant business partner, customer, or vendor may not be set up correctly, leading to the inability to determine the correct jurisdiction.
    4. Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data entered for the transaction, such as incorrect addresses or missing information.

    Solution:

    1. Check Tax Jurisdiction Configuration:

      • Go to the configuration settings for tax jurisdiction codes in your SAP system (usually found in the SPRO transaction under Financial Accounting > Tax on Sales/Purchases > Basic Settings > Define Tax Jurisdiction Codes).
      • Ensure that the jurisdiction codes are set up correctly and that there are no overlaps.
    2. Review Master Data:

      • Check the master data for the relevant business partner, customer, or vendor to ensure that the address and tax information are complete and accurate.
      • Make sure that the tax classification is correctly assigned.
    3. Address Validation:

      • Validate the address used in the transaction to ensure it matches the expected format and is complete.
      • Ensure that the address is linked to the correct tax jurisdiction.
    4. Use Tax Jurisdiction Determination:

      • If applicable, use the tax jurisdiction determination functionality in SAP to help the system identify the correct jurisdiction based on the transaction details.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your configuration and setup.
    6. Testing:

      • After making changes, test the transaction again to see if the error persists.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like OBD2 (for tax jurisdiction determination) or OBD3 (for tax jurisdiction codes) to access the relevant configuration settings.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
    • User Exits or BAdIs: In some cases, custom logic may be implemented through user exits or BAdIs that could affect tax jurisdiction determination.
