An error: “Tax Calculation Plugin error due to missing billing address or state for this vendor record.” Occured while saving the PO with tax calculations. Even if the tx setup had done correctly, this error occures in PO.
The reason why the error occurs is because the Short Name of the State has been modified. Upon installation of the India Localization Bundles, there are already predetermined Short Names for each Indian State, (Combination is TIN Number – State Code, e.g. West Bengal – 19-WB). This is the way the system validates the states. To remove the error:
- Navigate to Setup > Company > State/Provinces/Counties.
- Click Edit beside the affected State and make sure that the State’s Short Name is using this combination (TIN Number – State Code).
- Click Save.
- Edit the Address of the Vendor Record and Subsidiary Record by re-entering the State in order for the system to reflect the correct Short Name.
