  The SAP error message FR566, which states "Select either input tax or output tax, not both, for Czech Republic VAT," typically occurs in the context of VAT (Value Added Tax) processing in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with transactions related to the Czech Republic.
  Cause:
  This error arises when a transaction is configured to include both input tax and output tax for the same VAT code or transaction type. In the Czech Republic, VAT regulations require that a transaction can only be classified as either an input tax (tax that a business can reclaim on purchases) or an output tax (tax that a business collects on sales), but not both simultaneously.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Transaction: Check the transaction that triggered the error. Ensure that you are not trying to apply both input and output tax codes to the same line item.
  
  
  Adjust Tax Codes: 
  
  If you are processing a purchase invoice, ensure that you are using the correct input tax code.
  If you are processing a sales invoice, ensure that you are using the correct output tax code.
  Make sure that the tax codes used are appropriate for the nature of the transaction.
  
  
  
  Configuration Check: If you have access to the configuration settings:
  
  Go to the VAT configuration settings in SAP (usually found in the SPRO transaction under Financial Accounting > Tax on Sales/Purchases).
  Verify that the tax codes and their settings are correctly defined for the Czech Republic VAT.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to VAT processing in the Czech Republic for any specific guidelines or requirements.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
