SAP Note 15244 - Incorrect VAT amount is displayed

Symptom:

If you create an order with a customer (SP) and an alternative payer (PY), the system does not display the value added tax (VAT) that should result from the tax classification indicator of the ship-to party (SH).

Other terms

STCEG, VAT Reg.No., VAT registration number

Reason and Prerequisites

You have entered a VAT registration number (VAT Reg. No.) for the payer and as a result, the system does not take the tax indicator from the ship-to party, but instead from the payer.

Solution

Check the following information against the fields in the partner master data:

• Partner VAT registration no. (STCEG) on the "Control" screen

• Tax classification (TAXKD) on the "Billing" screen

• The following logic is applies in the SD document:

1. If PY has a VAT Reg.No. and PY <> SP, the system takes the tax indicator from PY (SH is no longer relevant).

If 1. does not apply, the system checks the following:
2. If SH has a VAT Reg.No. or SP has NO VAT Reg.No., the system takes the tax indicator from SH.

If 2. also does not apply, the following is true:
3. Otherwise the system takes the tax indicator from SP
