Message text: Unable to calculate tax for two different cost centers



What causes this issue?

You cannot calculate tax if there are payments entered in different cost
centers during a single process.


System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.



How to fix this error?

If you want to calculate tax for payments that are entered in different
cost centers, you need to separate them and process payments
corresponding to each cost center separately. For example, within a
regular payroll, you can make additional payments that are assigned to
the current cost center. But you will have to make any payments entered
in a cost center other than the current one through an off-cycle run.
