Message no. FF848 in down payment final invoice

[Former Member]

I am releasing down payment final invoice for accounting and getting error as "Entry of tax for <TaxCode> 000 <Company Code> <VAT Account> is not possible because of tax base 0" Mesage Message no. FF848

I am using milestone billing plan for downpayment and configuration done as per SAP standard procedure. Down payment request billing generated and cleared successfully. How-ever while releasing final invoice for accounting I am getting error. All SD and FI configuration is correct and validated after looking SAP notes and comments bloges / SDN forum. But still not able to figure out why the error coming for down payment request line item from final invoice even though down payment request (FAZ) already cleared. VAT account is set-up as ">" Output tax to ensure no tax with zero base to avoid any error in tax reporting.

Thanks Csaba, I already checked this blog which just explain which program raise error. I have also checked SAP note mentioned in block which describe how to add validation to block accouning when tax base 0. How-ever for down payment request tax base is always 0 so wondering how we can handle this error

Have a look at the following note

and if need, carry out the corrections as recommended in the note after checking with your FI consultants.
