SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: U1 - Tax reporter interface

• Message number: 317

• Message text: Magnetic media or form has been filed with one or more tax authorities

What causes this issue?

Table T51T4 indicates a filing date for one or more of the selected
forms, implying that you have already filed the form. If the tax
information you submitted has changed, the new form or magnetic tape
may include amounts that differ from those you filed with the
corresponding tax authority.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If the filing date shown in table T51T4 is not accurate because the
form has not yet been filed, then you may ignore this message. If the
form has been filed, SAP suggests that you generate the corresponding
<zh>correction</> form, such as Form W-2c or 941c. The correction form
will reflect both the original amounts and the corrected amounts to the
tax authority.
