Summary :
When recording transactions in SAP to a customer account involving multiple tax codes from different tax reporting countries, coupled with a revenue item that uses a local tax code from the customer’s country, VAT registration number issues arise. Specifically, if the final revenue item recorded uses the local tax code, error F5 896 "Reporting country in tax code & same as country in &" triggers. This error stems from outdated VAT registration number checks in SAPMF05A. Solutions include applying provided corrections, avoiding posting the problematic last item, or temporarily setting F5 896 as a warning. Additionally, customization of message F5 896 is possible to handle such issues effectively.
