  SAP Error Message:
  W_CB117 No entry found for tax category &1 and tax classification customer &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs during tax determination in sales and distribution (SD) or financial accounting (FI) processes. It indicates that the system could not find a valid tax code or tax condition record for the combination of:
  
  Tax Category (e.g., domestic, intra-community, export, etc.) represented by &1
  Tax Classification of the Customer (e.g., tax exempt, reduced rate, standard rate) represented by &2
  
  In other words, the system is trying to determine the tax for a transaction but cannot find a matching entry in the tax condition tables or tax classification settings for the customer and the tax category involved.
  
  Common Causes:
  
  Missing or incomplete tax condition records in the pricing procedure or tax condition tables (e.g., condition type MWST).
  Customer master data missing or incorrect tax classification in the sales area or accounting view.
  Incorrect or missing tax category configuration in the system for the country or region.
  Tax determination procedure not properly maintained for the combination of customer tax classification and tax category.
  Incorrect or missing tax codes in the transaction or master data.
  
  
  Where to Check / Solution:
  
  
  Check Customer Master Data:
  
  Transaction: XD03 (Display Customer)
  Go to Sales Area Data ? Billing ? Tax Classification
  Verify that the tax classification is maintained correctly for the customer.
  
  
  
  Check Tax Condition Records:
  
  Transaction: VK13 (Display Condition Records)
  Check condition type related to tax (e.g., MWST) for the relevant sales organization, distribution channel, and country.
  Ensure that condition records exist for the tax category and customer tax classification.
  
  
  
  Check Tax Determination Procedure:
  
  Transaction: OBYZ (Assign Tax Procedure to Country)
  Verify that the correct tax procedure is assigned to the country.
  Transaction: FTXP (Maintain Tax Codes)
  Check if tax codes are properly maintained for the country and tax category.
  
  
  
  Check Tax Category and Tax Classification Mapping:
  
  Transaction: OBQ2 (Assign Tax Categories to Tax Classification)
  Ensure that the tax category &1 is assigned to the customer tax classification &2.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure:
  
  Transaction: V/08 (Maintain Pricing Procedures)
  Check if the tax condition type is included in the pricing procedure.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  This message is a warning (W), so the system allows the transaction to proceed but flags that tax determination may be incomplete or incorrect.
  If this warning appears frequently, it may lead to incorrect tax postings or billing documents.
  Proper tax configuration is critical for compliance with tax laws and correct financial reporting.
