How do I configure tax categories for my suppliers to choose from when invoicing?

In order to create a list of tax codes for your suppliers to choose when they are creating their invoices, follow the steps below in your SAP Business Network account:

1. Login to your SAP Business Network Buyer Account
2. Click [User Initials] > Manage Profile
3. Click Default Transaction Rules
4. Activate the transaction rule Require suppliers to choose from your list of valid tax values
5. Click Configure
6. Enter the tax category, description (if applicable), rate and if is a withholding tax or not
7. Click Create

You can also create country-specific tax rates.

Also, you cannot have more than 20 tax codes configured per country (if configured under Country-Based Invoice Rules) or in the general list (if configured under Default Transaction Rules).

See PO, BPO, and non-PO invoice fields in the SAP Business Network guide to invoicing to learn more about this transaction rule.
