• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REEXFI201 - Open items for clearing have different sales tax code ?

  The SAP error message REEXFI201 indicates that there are open items in a clearing process that have different sales tax codes. This typically occurs during the clearing of accounts in the Financial Accounting (FI) module when the system detects that the items being cleared do not have consistent tax codes, which is a requirement for the clearing process.
  Cause:
  
  Different Sales Tax Codes: The open items you are trying to clear have different sales tax codes assigned to them. This can happen if the transactions were recorded with different tax rates or tax classifications.
  Inconsistent Tax Configuration: The configuration of tax codes in the system may not align with the requirements for clearing.
  Manual Entry Errors: There may have been manual entries or adjustments that resulted in different tax codes being applied to the same clearing account.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Open Items: Check the open items that you are trying to clear. You can do this by using transaction codes like FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) or FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to identify the items and their respective tax codes.
  Standardize Tax Codes: Ensure that the items you are trying to clear have the same tax code. If necessary, you may need to adjust the tax codes on one or more of the items to make them consistent.
  Adjust Transactions: If the tax codes are incorrect, you may need to reverse or adjust the transactions that created the open items. This can involve creating correcting entries or using transaction codes like FB08 (Reverse Document) to reverse incorrect postings.
  Consult Tax Configuration: If the issue persists, review the tax configuration in your SAP system to ensure that it is set up correctly. This may involve checking the tax codes, tax rates, and any related settings in the SAP configuration (SPRO).
  Use Clearing Accounts: If applicable, consider using clearing accounts that are designed to handle transactions with different tax codes, if your business processes allow for it.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FB03 (Display Document), FBL1N, FBL3N, and FB08 for managing and reviewing financial documents.
