• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FOT_TDT028 - Doc. & record &: Only one BBTAX Line is allowed since BBKPF-XMWST is set ?

  The SAP error message FOT_TDT028 indicates that there is an issue with the tax line items in a document due to the configuration of the tax settings. Specifically, the error states that only one BBTAX line is allowed because the field BBKPF-XMWST (which indicates whether the document is subject to tax) is set.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple BBTAX Lines: The document you are trying to process has multiple tax lines (BBTAX) when only one is allowed. This typically occurs when there are multiple tax codes or tax rates applied to the same document.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration in the SAP system may be set to allow only one tax line for certain types of documents, especially when the document is marked as taxable (BBKPF-XMWST is set).
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Tax Lines: Check the document in question to see how many BBTAX lines are being created. You may need to adjust the tax codes or rates applied to the document to ensure that only one BBTAX line is present.
  Adjust Document: If the document is incorrectly set up with multiple tax lines, you may need to edit the document to consolidate the tax entries into a single line.
  Configuration Review: If this is a recurring issue, review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to tax processing. Ensure that the settings align with your business requirements and that they allow for the correct number of tax lines based on the document type.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance on handling tax line items and the implications of the XMWST field.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BBKPF-XMWST: This field indicates whether the document is subject to tax. If it is set, the system expects a certain tax structure.
  BBTAX Line: This refers to the tax line item in the document. Each tax line typically corresponds to a specific tax code and amount.
  SAP Configuration: The configuration for tax processing can be found in the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) under Financial Accounting (FI) > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Tax on Sales/Purchases.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or a consultant who specializes in SAP FI (Financial Accounting) for further assistance.
