• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FOT_TDT113 - The valid-from date &1 for Tax code &2 is undefined ?

  The SAP error message FOT_TDT113 indicates that there is an issue with the tax code configuration in the system. Specifically, the error states that the "valid-from date" for a given tax code is undefined. This typically occurs when the system is trying to determine the applicable tax rate for a transaction, but it cannot find a valid date range for the specified tax code.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Valid-From Date: The tax code in question does not have a valid-from date defined in the tax configuration settings.
  Incorrect Configuration: The tax code may not be properly configured in the system, leading to the absence of necessary date information.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, there may have been issues that resulted in missing or incomplete tax code data.
  Changes in Tax Regulations: If there have been recent changes in tax regulations, the tax codes may need to be updated accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Tax Code Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBYZ (or the relevant transaction for your version) to check the configuration of the tax code.
  Ensure that the tax code has a valid-from date defined. If it is missing, you will need to add it.
  
  
  
  Define Valid-From Date:
  
  If the valid-from date is not set, you can create or modify the tax code to include the necessary date. Make sure to specify the correct date that reflects when the tax code became applicable.
  
  
  
  Review Tax Code Validity:
  
  Ensure that the tax code is valid for the period in which the transaction is being processed. If the transaction date falls outside the valid range, you may need to adjust the date or the tax code configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to tax code configuration to ensure compliance with local tax regulations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the tax code is applied correctly.
