• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPPCE/DPCM1087 - Deferred tax code is not allowed for addit.costs with different tax codes ?

  The SAP error message /SAPPCE/DPCM1087 indicates that there is an issue with the deferred tax code being used in conjunction with additional costs that have different tax codes. This typically arises in the context of financial transactions where multiple tax codes are involved, and the system is unable to process the transaction due to the conflicting tax codes.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Tax Codes: The error occurs when you attempt to post additional costs (like overheads or other expenses) that have different tax codes than the main transaction. SAP requires that all components of a transaction share the same tax code when deferred tax codes are involved.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the tax code settings or in the way the deferred tax codes are set up in the system.
  Transaction Type: The type of transaction being processed may not support the use of multiple tax codes in conjunction with deferred tax codes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Tax Codes: Check the tax codes assigned to the main transaction and the additional costs. Ensure that they are consistent and that the same tax code is used across all components of the transaction.
  Adjust Configuration: If necessary, adjust the configuration of the tax codes in the SAP system. This may involve consulting with your SAP FI/CO consultant to ensure that the tax codes are set up correctly.
  Use a Single Tax Code: If possible, modify the transaction to use a single tax code for both the main transaction and the additional costs.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling deferred tax codes and additional costs.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide updates or patches that could resolve the issue.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes related to tax configuration, such as OBYZ (for tax code determination) and OBC4 (for tax code settings).
  Testing: After making changes, conduct thorough testing to ensure that the error does not recur and that the financial postings are processed correctly.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or a qualified SAP consultant for further assistance.
