taxReclaimCode is required for domestic taxes

Hello Experts!

We get this error message when trying to post an expense report via Concur.

taxReclaimCode is required for domestic taxes

What could be the problem? FYI: The G/L account is not tax-relevant.

Best regards,

Gabor

Hey Gábor,

And thank you for asking your question in the SAP Community blog.

This error  “taxReclaimCode is required for domestic taxes” usually pops up when SAP expects a tax reclaim code for the expense line, even if the G/L account itself isn’t tax-relevant.

Even though the G/L account doesn’t deal with taxes directly, the tax code used in the expense report might still be set up to allow input tax deduction (basically, it thinks you're trying to reclaim VAT).

When that happens, SAP wants to know exactly how you're reclaiming the tax and that’s where the taxReclaimCode comes in.

How to fix it:

You’ve got a couple of options, depending on whether the tax should be reclaimed or not:

If you're not reclaiming tax:

• Double-check the tax code on the expense line.
• Make sure it’s one that doesn’t allow VAT reclaim. If it is, switch to a tax-exempt one or remove it if it’s not needed.

If you do want to reclaim tax:

• Then you need to send a valid taxReclaimCode from Concur.
• This usually requires updating the configuration in Concur (or the middleware like CPI if you're using it) to pass that code along with the expense data.

I hope those elements will answer your question.

Best regards,

Jeremy
