Within SAP, and even with the use of the SAP Invoice Management solution by OpenText, this challenge persists and can more often than not mean costly manual intervention and the associated risk of introducing errors

The population of the correct tax code can often require judgement and manual AP processing, particularly where a tax rate can mean ambiguity for the purposes of tax code determination. A classic example being there is a 0% rate or where no VAT rate is quoted; these can typically be attributed to numerous different SAP tax codes, such as is the case for zero rated supplies that need to be reported separately for EU reporting.
