  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_CFIN_BC_V079 - Reduced withholding tax rate does not match in source and target. ?

    The SAP error message FINS_CFIN_BC_V079 indicates that there is a mismatch in the withholding tax rates between the source and target systems during a data transfer or reconciliation process, particularly in the context of Central Finance (CFIN). This error typically arises when the withholding tax rate defined in the source system does not correspond to the rate defined in the target system.

    3. Customizations: If there are custom developments or enhancements in either system that affect how withholding tax is calculated or applied, this could lead to mismatches.

      • Ensure that any changes are properly transported and activated in the target system.
    3. Data Mapping:

      • Review the data mapping settings in the Central Finance configuration to ensure that the withholding tax codes from the source system are correctly mapped to the corresponding codes in the target system.
