FF758 - No tax was determined

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FF - FI Function Module Messages

• Message number: 758

• Message text: No tax was determined

What causes this issue?

Tax is always determined from the balance of the postings belonging to
a tax code in the case of "Calculate tax". If the balance is zero
(because the same amounts have been entered on both the debit and the
credit sides), then no tax is calculated.
Postings made only to G/L accounts are generally exempt from tax, so it
is not beneficial to carry out a gross transfer posting.
