SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VF - Billing

• Message number: 135

• Message text: Deviating country where taxes are levied in document &1 &2.

What causes this issue?

In the standard system, the field 'tax country' is filled with the
country of the delivering plant. This field is used in the calculation
of taxes as the country of departure. It is now possible that, if the
system is modified in USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK in program
RV60AFZZ, this tax country (TKOMK-ALAND) is supplied with different
data. Due to the fact that the standard print program works with the new
field, the field VBRK-LANDTX should be supplied with data according to
the same logic, as part of the system modifications in the billing
document.
