• Message number: 833

• Message text: Do not use 2 acount keys for non-deductibility &1 &2 &3

What causes this issue?

For the tax code, you have defined two account keys for
non-deductibility. One of the account keys has been defined so that the
non-deductible tax is distributed to the expense item, whereas the other
account key has been defined so that the non-deductible tax is to be
written off separately. This is contradictory, and can lead to problems
when calculating and distributing non-deductible tax. However, you can
switch off this message by using SM30, V_T100C.
