Account for tax posting could not be determined

Question

Hi experts,
I am trying to post an incoming invoice thru transaction ETRANSF. I get 2 errors which are
1> "Message no. EDEREG_INV682"  "In posting area 0010 you store the account determination for the sales tax (company code 0001, tax code V3)."
Action taken: Maintained the entry in FQC0 for Area 0010 - V3 - MWS(output tax)
2> Tax code V3 country DE does not exist in procedure TAXD
   "If it is not an input error, check and possibly change the system settings.
To do this, choose Maintain entries (F5).
Check whether the company code is assigned to the correct country and whether the correct tax calculation procedure has been entered for the company code country.
Create a new tax code if necessary."
Not being a FI consultant, i have no clue where this entry would be maintained and am getting both the errors even after taking action mentioned in error 1.
Thanks for your help in advance..
Cheers,
Anasua

Hi,
for the first message please check the customizing in TA SPRO:
Financial Accounting (New) -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Basic Functions -> Postings and Documents -> Document -> Define Account Assignments for Automatic Postings -> Automatic G/L Account Determination -> Define Accounts for Sales/Purchase Tax
Here you have to maintain the correct account account determination for the sales tax.
for your second message you have to check:
Financial Accounting (New) -> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Calculation -> Define Tax Codes for Sales and Purchases
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Alexander
