  The SAP error message /CCIS/TAX116 Tax objects hierarchy &1 does not exist typically indicates that the system is unable to find a specified tax object hierarchy in the configuration. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with tax calculations or tax reporting in SAP systems.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The specified tax object hierarchy (denoted by &1 in the error message) has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Hierarchy Name: The name of the tax object hierarchy being referenced may be misspelled or incorrectly specified in the configuration or transaction.
  Transport Issues: If the hierarchy was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated properly.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration transaction (e.g., SPRO) and navigate to the tax configuration settings.
  Verify that the tax object hierarchy exists and is correctly defined.

  Ensure that it matches exactly with what is defined in the system.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the hierarchy was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was included and activated in the target system.
  If necessary, re-transport the hierarchy or manually create it in the target system.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:

  Check the user roles and profiles to confirm that they include the required permissions.
