During transactions from Materials Management (MM) and order settlement (CO-OPA), the following error message occurs for postings into FI: "G/L account & requires a valid tax code" (FS214).
Cause and prerequisitesThe G/L account requires a valid tax code.
SolutionRead the long text of error message FS214.
As of Release 3.0B, you can define a tax code in FI as a default value in the global company code data (table T001, use SM30 to maintain view V_001_J) and define a "dummy" jurisdiction code for processing with jurisdiction codes (the last point is only important in the USA!).
Here you should specify a tax code with 0 percent input or output tax which implies that the transaction is "not relevant to tax". These tax codes are used for "non-tax-relevant transactions" which are predefined in the interface and include goods movements or assessments which are called up via the GLVOR field in the document header.
So that the transactions are able to be posted, the accounts involved which do not necessarily require a tax code, could also be marked as such i.e. the "Posting without tax allowed" indicator. In contrast to the solution with the "default tax code", however, documents without tax codes entered manually could then also be posted. This code is actually intended for export invoice postings when processing with jurisdiction codes and for which, from an SD point of view, it would be very laborious to determine a jurisdiction code in addition to a tax code.
The error message FS214 is always generated when you explicitly enter an input VAT indicator (for example 'V0') in the G/L account master record. As of Release 3.0C, define a tax categroy (for example '-' only input VAT postings allowed) in the master records of the G/L account instead of the restriction on a tax indicator.
This restriction only applies however to accounts that are posted via the interface from MM.
