  SAP Error Message WS190:
  Text:
  
  'Post tax' not possible without 'Post business volume'
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP's Sales and Distribution (SD) or Sales and Distribution - Billing module, particularly in scenarios involving commission processing or partner functions where business volume and tax postings are relevant.
  
  The system is trying to post tax amounts related to a commission or business transaction.
  However, the prerequisite posting of the business volume (the base amount on which commissions or taxes are calculated) has not been done or is missing.
  In other words, the system expects that the business volume posting must be done before or along with the tax posting.
  If the business volume posting is not present, the system cannot post the tax, hence the error.
  
  This typically happens in commission settlement runs or partner commission postings where the tax posting depends on the business volume posting.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WS190 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Posting Sequence:
  
  Ensure that the business volume posting is done before the tax posting.
  Review the commission settlement or billing process to confirm that the business volume is posted correctly.
  
  
  
  Verify Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration in Transaction Code: SPRO under:
  
  Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Partner Determination ? Partner Functions ? Define Partner Functions for Commission Settlement
  Commission Settlement ? Define Posting Rules for Business Volume and Tax
  
  
  Make sure that the posting rules for business volume and tax are correctly maintained and that the system is set to post business volume first.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Functions and Condition Types:
  
  Verify that the partner functions involved in the commission settlement have the correct posting rules assigned.
  Confirm that the condition types related to business volume and tax are properly configured.
  
  
  
  Run Commission Settlement Correctly:
  
  If you are running a commission settlement, ensure that the settlement run is executed properly and that the business volume postings are generated.
  If the business volume posting failed or was not created, re-run or correct the settlement.
  
  
  
  Review Document Flow:
  
  Check the related documents (billing documents, commission documents) to ensure that the business volume postings exist.
  Use transaction codes like VF03 (Display Billing Document) or KE24 (Display Partner Settlement Documents) to verify postings.
  
  
  
  Debugging / Logs:
  
  If the issue persists, debugging the posting program or checking application logs (transaction SLG1) may help identify why the business volume posting is missing.
