With these notes new checks have been implemented. Tax type (MWART) and tax base (HWBAS, FWBAS) are checked from now on. This check is necessary to avoid problems in future reports. If these fields are blank and the tax category is '<' or '>' the error message FF848 appears.
In this case you try to book on a tax account without tax base amount. In transaction FS00 you can check the settings of the account (p_bseg-hkont).
