The SAP error message FF703 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the assignment of a company code to a country or the assignment of a country to a calculation procedure. This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with tax calculations.
Cause:
Company Code Not Assigned to Country: This means that the company code you are trying to use is not linked to a specific country in the system. Each company code must be assigned to a country to ensure that the correct tax calculations and legal requirements are applied.
Country Not Assigned to Calculation Procedure: This indicates that the country in question does not have a valid calculation procedure assigned to it. The calculation procedure defines how taxes are calculated for transactions in that country.
Solution:
To resolve the FF703 error, you need to check and configure the following:
Assign Company Code to Country:
- Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.
- Navigate to SPRO (Customizing) ? Financial Accounting ? Financial Accounting Global Settings ? Countries ? Assign Company Code to Country.
- Ensure that the relevant company code is assigned to the correct country.
Assign Country to Calculation Procedure:
- Again, in the SPRO transaction, navigate to Financial Accounting ? Financial Accounting Global Settings ? Countries ? Define Calculation Procedure.
- Check if the country is assigned to a calculation procedure. If not, you will need to assign it to the appropriate calculation procedure that defines how taxes are calculated for that country.
Check Tax Configuration:
- Ensure that the tax codes and tax rates are correctly configured for the country and company code in question.
- Navigate to Financial Accounting ? Tax on Sales/Purchases ? Basic Settings ? Check Tax Codes to verify the tax codes.
Testing:
- After making the necessary changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
