  The SAP error message FOT_TDT101 indicates that there is no valid Business Transaction Type (BTT) code set for time-dependent tax calculation. This error typically arises in the context of tax determination and calculation processes in SAP, particularly when dealing with time-dependent tax rates.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BTT Code: The primary cause of this error is that the system cannot find a valid BTT code for the transaction being processed. This can happen if the BTT code is not defined in the system or if it is not correctly assigned to the relevant tax calculation procedure.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of tax determination settings, such as missing or incorrect settings in the tax calculation procedure.
  Date Validity: The error can also occur if the date for which the transaction is being processed does not fall within the validity period of the defined tax rates or BTT codes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BTT Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP configuration settings for tax determination (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Financial Accounting (New) > Tax on Sales/Purchases > Basic Settings > Define Business Transaction Types.
  Ensure that the relevant BTT code is defined and active.
  
  
  
  Assign BTT to Tax Calculation Procedure:
  
  Ensure that the BTT code is correctly assigned to the tax calculation procedure being used for the transaction.
  Check the configuration under Tax on Sales/Purchases > Calculation > Define Tax Calculation Procedures.
  
  
  
  Review Validity Dates:
  
  Check the validity dates of the tax rates and BTT codes to ensure they cover the date of the transaction.
  If necessary, update the validity periods to include the required dates.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that tax calculations are performed correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on configuring tax determination and resolving related errors.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SPRO (for configuration), OB40 (for tax codes), and FTXP (for tax rate maintenance).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to tax calculation and BTT codes.
  User Roles: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and modify tax configuration settings.
