• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FOT_TRANSPORT_SRV005 - Import of Tax Codes is only allowed for US with the SSCUI in S/4H Cloud ?

  The SAP error message FOT_TRANSPORT_SRV005 indicates that the import of tax codes is restricted to the United States (US) when using the Self-Service Configuration UI (SSCUI) in SAP S/4HANA Cloud. This error typically arises when an attempt is made to import tax codes for countries other than the US, or when the configuration settings do not align with the system's requirements.
