• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRMA_CAT110 - Billing type &1: Field "Tax code active" must be set to '3' (No) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRMA_CAT110 Billing type &1: Field "Tax code active" must be set to '3' (No)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during billing document processing (e.g., in SD billing or returns management) when the system checks the configuration of the billing type used in the transaction. Specifically, the field "Tax code active" in the billing type configuration is not set to the required value.
  
  The billing type configuration includes a field called "Tax code active" which controls whether tax codes are considered active or not for that billing type.
  For certain billing types (especially in returns or credit memo processing), SAP requires this field to be set to '3' (No), meaning that tax codes should not be active or considered.
  If this field is set to a different value (e.g., '1' or '2'), the system throws this error to prevent incorrect tax processing.
  
  
  Explanation of the Field "Tax code active":
  
  The field "Tax code active" in billing type configuration can have values like:
  
  1 = Yes (Tax code active)
  2 = Partial or conditional
  3 = No (Tax code inactive)
  
  
  
  For billing types related to returns or credit memos, tax codes are often not applicable or handled differently, so the system enforces this setting.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the billing type configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ?
  
  Sales and Distribution ?
  
  Billing ?
  
  Billing Types ?
  
  Define Billing Types
  
  
  
  Select the billing type mentioned in the error message (the &1 placeholder will be replaced by the actual billing type in your system).
  
  
  Find the field "Tax code active" in the billing type settings.
  
  
  Set the field to '3' (No).
  
  
  Save the configuration.
  
  
  Test the billing document creation again.
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This error is common in scenarios involving returns, credit memos, or special billing processes where tax calculation is handled differently.
  Changing this setting ensures that tax codes are not incorrectly applied or expected during billing.
  Always check with your tax or finance department before changing tax-related settings to ensure compliance with local tax laws.
  If you are unsure which billing type is causing the error, check the exact error message in the system log or the billing document processing screen to identify the billing type code.
