• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FQ672 - Different tax codes are not allowed ?

  The SAP error message FQ672, which states "Different tax codes are not allowed," typically occurs during the processing of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with tax-related entries. This error indicates that the system has detected a mismatch in tax codes that are being used in a transaction, which is not permissible under the current configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatched Tax Codes: The most common cause of this error is that different tax codes are being applied to line items in a single transaction. For example, if you are trying to post an invoice that has items with different tax codes, SAP will not allow this.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the tax determination process that restrict the use of multiple tax codes in a single transaction.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions on the use of tax codes, leading to this error when trying to post documents with multiple tax codes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Line Items: Review the line items in the transaction to ensure that all items are using the same tax code. If they are not, you will need to adjust them to use a single tax code.
  Adjust Tax Code: If the transaction legitimately requires different tax codes, consider splitting the transaction into multiple postings, each with a consistent tax code.
  Configuration Review: If you believe the configuration should allow for multiple tax codes, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the tax settings and document type configurations.
  Use of Tax Categories: Ensure that the tax categories assigned to the materials or services are consistent and appropriate for the transaction.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on tax code configuration and restrictions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may want to check the transaction codes involved in the posting (e.g., FB60 for vendor invoices, FB70 for customer invoices) to understand how tax codes are being applied.
  Tax Configuration: Review the tax configuration in the SAP system, particularly in the SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) settings under Financial Accounting (FI) > Financial Accounting Global Settings > Tax on Sales/Purchases.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on tax code handling.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or consult with an SAP expert for further assistance.
