/PRA/PAY_PROC051
- Owner has a w8 form but is a US citizen ?The SAP error message /PRA/PAY_PROC051 typically indicates an issue related to tax documentation, specifically concerning the ownership status of an individual or entity in relation to U.S. tax regulations. In this case, the error suggests that the system has detected that the owner has a W-8 form on file, which is generally used by foreign individuals or entities to certify their foreign status for tax purposes. However, if the individual is a U.S. citizen, this creates a conflict.
