An invoice that includes tax needs the appropriate Tax account as well as the reviewed tax amount or configuration. Check the source terms and the company's approved tax treatment before completing those fields. The account choice is part of document preparation, not a determination of what tax legally applies.
Open Posting accounts and review the tax selection. For native invoices, the supported account picker uses eligible liability accounts rather than the Accounts Payable control. Where an explicit tax configuration controls the mapping, review that configuration through its own controls.
Compare the tax amount with the line totals and customer terms. Do not add a nominal tax value merely to satisfy a required-account warning, or remove tax simply because the correct account has not been set up.
Resolve uncertain treatment with the person responsible for the company's tax and accounting process. Save the draft after the evidence and mapping are correct, then review the current issuance result. Later tax corrections should preserve the original document and follow the supported credit or correction workflow.
