• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RECDCH015 - Set up credit from non-deductible input tax &2 on &1 as credit ?

  The SAP error message RECDCH015 indicates that there is an issue with the setup of credit for non-deductible input tax. This error typically arises in the context of tax processing, particularly when dealing with input tax credits that are not eligible for deduction.
  Cause:
  The error message RECDCH015 is triggered when the system detects that there is an attempt to set up a credit for non-deductible input tax. This can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Incorrect Tax Configuration: The tax codes or tax categories may not be set up correctly in the system, leading to the misclassification of input tax as deductible when it is not.
  
  
  Transaction Type: The transaction being processed may not be eligible for input tax credit, such as certain expenses that are explicitly non-deductible according to tax regulations.
  
  
  Master Data Issues: The vendor or customer master data may have incorrect tax information, leading to the application of the wrong tax codes.
  
  
  Document Type: The document type used for the transaction may not support the deduction of input tax.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RECDCH015 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Tax Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of tax codes in the SAP system. Ensure that the tax codes used for the transaction are correctly set up as deductible or non-deductible.
  Verify the settings in the transaction code OBYZ (for tax codes) and ensure that the correct tax categories are assigned.
