• Message number: 195

• Message text: Other plants exist that do not have excise duty tax group maintained

What causes this issue?

The material at one or more plants does not have an excise duty tax
group on the IS-Oil Data Screen, but you entered an excise duty tax
group for the material/plant combination.

System Response

Warning. Unless this is corrected, problems could arise later during
posting transactions.

How to fix this error?

Either add an excise duty tax group to the material or remove the
excise duty tax groups from this material at the other plants. Once
stock is posted to the material, the tax group cannot be changed. Also,
all plants for the same material have to have the IS-Oil screen
maintained uniformly. When there is one material at several plants,
either all of the plants have to have an excise duty tax group, or none
of them should have an excise duty tax group.
