  The SAP error message J3RFVAT074 indicates that there is a missing tax configuration for secondary events in the system. This error typically arises in the context of VAT (Value Added Tax) processing, particularly in the Russian localization of SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system attempts to process a transaction that involves a secondary event (like a specific type of invoice or document) for which the necessary tax configuration is not defined in the customizing settings. This can happen if:
  
  The secondary event is not properly configured in the system.
  The tax codes or tax types associated with the secondary event are missing or incorrectly set up.
  There may be a mismatch between the event type and the tax configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you need to ensure that the tax configuration for the secondary events is correctly set up in the SAP system. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen and enter the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Reference IMG (Implementation Guide).
  
  
  
  Navigate to Tax Configuration:
  
  Follow the path: Financial Accounting (New) -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Basic Settings -> Define Tax Codes for Sales and Purchases.
  Alternatively, you may need to check the specific path for Russian localization settings.
  
  
  
  Check Secondary Events:
  
  Look for the section related to secondary events (J_3RTSE_CODE) and ensure that the necessary tax codes are defined for the relevant secondary events.
  If the secondary event is not listed, you may need to create a new entry or modify an existing one to include the appropriate tax code.
  
  
  
  Define Tax Types:
  
  Ensure that the tax types associated with the secondary events are correctly defined and linked to the appropriate tax codes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transaction that previously generated the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the specific configurations, refer to SAP documentation or consult with a functional consultant who specializes in SAP FI (Financial Accounting) and VAT processing.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as OBYZ (for tax code determination) and J1BTAX (for VAT configuration).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to VAT processing in Russia, as they may provide additional insights or updates regarding known issues and solutions.
  User Exits and BAdIs: In some cases, you may need to implement user exits or BAdIs (Business Add-Ins) to customize tax processing further.
