• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICL_CF247 - Enter tax code everywhere or not at all ?

  The SAP error message ICL_CF247: "Enter tax code everywhere or not at all" typically occurs in the context of tax determination in SAP, particularly when dealing with tax codes in transactions that involve tax calculations, such as sales orders, invoices, or other financial documents.
  Cause:
  This error arises when there is an inconsistency in the tax code entries across different line items or components of a transaction. Specifically, it indicates that some line items have a tax code specified while others do not, or that the tax code is not uniformly applied across all relevant items. SAP requires that if a tax code is entered for one line item, it must be entered for all line items in the transaction, or not at all.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Line Items: Review the line items in the transaction where the error occurred. Ensure that all line items have a tax code entered or that none of them have a tax code.
  
  
  Uniform Tax Code Entry: If you are using tax codes, make sure that every line item has the same tax code. If different tax codes are necessary, consider splitting the transaction into separate entries.
  
  
  Review Tax Code Configuration: If you believe that the tax codes should be applied differently, check the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may involve reviewing the tax determination settings in the relevant configuration areas (e.g., Financial Accounting (FI) or Sales and Distribution (SD)).
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on tax code handling in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, try to save or process the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: This error can occur in various transaction codes, such as VA01 (Create Sales Order), VF01 (Create Billing Document), or FB60 (Enter Incoming Invoice).
  Tax Configuration: Understanding how tax codes are configured in your SAP system is crucial. This includes knowing how tax codes are defined, assigned to materials or services, and how they interact with different transaction types.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional insights into tax code handling.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in tax configuration within SAP.
