- Entry is already included in VAT Return and cannot be deleted ?The SAP error message J3RFREGINV061 indicates that an entry you are trying to delete from the VAT return has already been included in the VAT return submission. This typically occurs in the context of VAT reporting in SAP, particularly in countries where VAT returns are generated and submitted electronically.
Cause:
- Entry Already Submitted: The entry you are attempting to delete has already been processed and included in a VAT return that has been submitted to the tax authorities.
