• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 7Q428 - Only activate "W/tax amnt manually" with "w/tax base amnt manual" ?

  The SAP error message 7Q428 indicates a configuration issue related to tax settings in the system. Specifically, it suggests that the system is trying to activate the "Withholding Tax Amount Manually" option without the corresponding "Withholding Tax Base Amount Manually" option being activated. This is a common issue when dealing with withholding tax configurations in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The system is configured to allow manual entry of the withholding tax amount, but it is not set up to allow manual entry of the withholding tax base amount.
  The two options are interdependent, meaning that if one is activated, the other must also be activated to ensure proper calculations and data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to adjust the configuration settings in SAP. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Access the Configuration Settings:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
  Navigate to the following path: SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Financial Accounting (New) -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Withholding Tax -> Basic Settings -> Define Withholding Tax Types.
  
  
  
  Check the Withholding Tax Type:
  
  Identify the withholding tax type that is causing the error.
  Ensure that both "W/tax amount manually" and "W/tax base amount manual" options are configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Activate the Required Options:
  
  If you want to allow manual entry for the withholding tax amount, you must also activate the option for the withholding tax base amount.
  Make sure both options are checked for the relevant withholding tax type.
  
  
  
  Save the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the withholding tax calculations are functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on configuring withholding tax settings.
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like OBW1 (for defining withholding tax types) to quickly access the relevant configuration screens.
  User Roles: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the configuration settings in SAP.
  
  If the issue persists after making these changes, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in financial accounting and tax configurations.
