EMIGALL: Enter a tax number for the tax category

[Former Member]

Hi all.

While testing the IS-U data migration using EMIGALL transaction I came to a strange error.

In the PARTNER migration object, Im using TAXNUM automatic structure, as I want to import tax numbers for the business partners Im importing. I enabled/generated four fields: TAXTYPE, TAXNUM, CHIND_TAX and INTERNAL. When I either import/convert a file or I manualy enter the values, I get the error "Enter a tax number for the tax category". In EMIGALL, Im entering the following data: defined tax category in the TAXTYPE field, correct tax number in to TAXNUM field, "I" (as Insert) in the CHIND_TAX field and "X" (as enabled) in the INTERNAL field.

Meanwhile, while I start the BP transaction and create a business partner using the same data that I enter in the EMIGALL transaction, business partner gets created and I can enter the tax numbers. Its the same if I want to import one or more tax numbers per business partner.

Tax categories are defined (I checked IMG - Cross-Application Components - SAP Business Partner - Business Partner - Basic Settings - Tax Numbers - Maintain Tax Number Categories). I have entered the correct data (I have also tryed turning the checks off in OY17).

There is one strange thing I noticed:

- when I check the BP transaction, tab "Identification", the tax number field is TAXNUML

- when I check the DFKKBPTAXNUM table (via SE11), the tax number field (for the records manualy entered through the BP transaction) is TAXNUM

I have checked and imlpemented note 2058367 but it didnt change anything regarding import process and error.

Has anyone come to a similar error or has some ideas on what to check or how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Marko,

Check SAP note 2060261 and see if it is applicable for your system. Looks like the taxnum is not being transferred when in background mode and/or when call is via EMIGALL.
