Message number: 493
Message text: Tax amount entered wrongly: see long text
For tax code &V1& there is a tax difference. The tax code refers to a
non-deductible tax.
This can be due to one of two reasons:
You entered an invoice to which only invoice items are assigned: The
supplier was manually reduced (supplier error) and a non-deductible tax
was involved (tax code &V2&). Due to the tax difference with tax code
&V1&, the invoice cannot be deemed as being correct, even if the
difference is below the acceptance limit.
You entered an invoice or credit memo to which invoice items and credit
memo items are assigned:
The invoice was manually reduced (supplier error) for tax code &V2&. Due
to the tax difference with tax code &V1& the invoice cannot be deemed as
being correct, even if the difference is below the acceptance limit.
The following action is recommended:
Correct the tax amounts that were wrongly entered
Reject the whole invoice, if the error was not simply a typing error but
a supplier error.
