Specifically, the message states that "RITA is active" and that the tax country has been defaulted from the company code. This typically occurs in the context of tax configuration and can be related to the following:

  Verify that the tax codes and tax rates are properly configured in the system for the relevant country.
  
  
  
  Review RITA Settings:
  
  If RITA is enabled, ensure that all necessary configurations for real-time tax assessment are in place. This may include checking the settings in the transaction code OBCL (for tax classification) and OBD2 (for tax jurisdiction).
  Make sure that the tax determination procedure is correctly assigned to the relevant company code.
  
  
  
  Check Master Data:
  
  Review the master data for the relevant vendors, customers, or materials to ensure that the tax information is correctly maintained.
  Ensure that the tax classification is set up correctly in the master records.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to tax configuration and RITA for any specific guidelines or updates that may be relevant to your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Testing:
