• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS115 - Balance of & & exists between input and output tax ?

  The SAP error message:
  WS115: Balance of & & exists between input and output tax
  
  Meaning / Cause
  This message typically occurs during tax or accounting postings in SAP when there is a balance between input tax and output tax that should not exist according to the system's validation rules. In other words, the system detects that the input tax and output tax amounts are equal and offset each other, which is unusual or not allowed in the current posting context.
  This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Tax codes or tax conditions are set up in a way that input tax and output tax amounts cancel each other out.
  Incorrect tax configuration or master data leading to balanced tax amounts.
  Posting documents where input and output tax amounts are mistakenly entered or calculated to be equal.
  Tax clearing or tax adjustment postings where the system expects a net tax amount but finds a zero net tax due
