• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FOT_TDT102 - Tax code &1 in country &2 already exists in transport; save not possible ?

  The SAP error message FOT_TDT102 indicates that there is a conflict with a tax code that already exists in the transport request for a specific country. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a tax code that has already been included in a transport request, which prevents you from saving your changes.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Tax Code: The tax code you are trying to create or modify already exists in the transport request for the specified country.
  Transport Request Lock: The transport request may be locked or in a state that prevents further modifications.
  Configuration Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the configuration of tax codes across different environments (e.g., development, quality assurance, production).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Tax Codes: Verify if the tax code you are trying to create or modify already exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration area in SAP (e.g., SPRO -> Financial Accounting -> Tax on Sales/Purchases -> Basic Settings -> Check Tax Codes).
  
  
  Review Transport Requests: Check the transport requests to see if the tax code is already included. You can use transaction code SE09 or SE10 to view transport requests and their contents.
  
  
  Remove from Transport Request: If the tax code is already in a transport request and you need to make changes, you may need to remove it from the transport request or create a new transport request for your changes.
  
  
  Use a Different Tax Code: If the tax code is already in use and cannot be modified, consider using a different tax code that does not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team: If you are unsure about how to proceed with transport requests or if there are issues with locks, consult your SAP Basis team for assistance.
  
  
  Check for Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify tax codes and transport requests.
