  Missing Indicator: The system expects a clear indication of whether the tax amount should be treated as a debit or a credit, but this information is not provided.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of tax codes or tax determination settings in the system.
  Transaction Data: The transaction data being processed may not have the necessary fields filled out correctly, leading to ambiguity in how the tax should be applied.
