  • What causes this issue?

    The document contains tax codes with different reporting countries.
    With the "Plants Abroad" functions, only tax codes from one reporting
    country should usually be posted.

    System Response

    If tax codes with different reporting countries are used, the system
    issues error message E800 (FF), which states that this is not permitted.

    How to fix this error?

    When SAP Note 1451436 has been implemented, tax calculations are also
    possible in FI for documents with different reporting countries and
    different controls for the tax base and the cash discount base. (This is
    not yet the case for the invoice verification MIRO in Logistics or for
    SD).
    It is possible to allow the use of different reporting countries by
    setting the error message as a warning message in Customizing or by
    deactivating it. You do this in Customizing using transaction SM30,
    table V_T100C for message FF 800

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
