Tax code problem in ERP LN FP5

Legacy Contributor

An error message is displayed "No default tax code/Country for this scenario found" while making a purchase requistion.

I would like to know the cause of this problem.

Also I would like to know the setups or checks that need to be verified to resolve this issue.

If you do not have the tax configuration 100% correct you may have an issue like this. I believe that LN looks to the following when billing or paying taxes: 1) Tax Exemptions by country tcmcs0536m000, 2) Tax Handling tctax0138m000, 3) Default Tax Codes. The Tax handling and Exemptions by country use the Tax Codes by Country and Tax Codes to detirmine which tax to use. The look at the Business Partner settings ship to and invoice to to see the location then the tax tables 1) & 2) then the tax code to use. If one or all are not setup correctly then you receive incorrect taxes or error messages. Take a look at the Tax Codes & Tax Codes by Country sessions to insure you have all the tax codes that you charge for and that you pay, Then look at the Tax Handling & Tax Exemptions by Country sessions to see if you have the right configuration. You can test the configuration for both purchase and invoice by using session Test Tax Model tctax8100m000. If you are in North America and have support I recommend placing a call, I placed a support incident with Infor365 support and spoke with Elizabeth Poest regarding a tax issue, Elizabeth was very helpful.
