  The SAP error message FOT_TXA058 ("Only tax countries without jurisdictions are permitted") typically occurs in the context of tax configuration in SAP, particularly when dealing with tax codes and jurisdictions. This error indicates that the system is trying to process a tax country that has jurisdictional tax settings, but the operation being performed is only valid for countries without such jurisdictions.
  Cause:
  
  Jurisdiction Configuration: The error usually arises when a tax code or transaction is associated with a country that has jurisdictional tax settings, but the system expects a tax country without jurisdictions.
  Incorrect Tax Code Assignment: The tax code being used may not be appropriate for the transaction or the country involved.
  Transaction Type: The type of transaction being processed may not support jurisdictional taxes, leading to this error.

  Use Appropriate Tax Codes:
  
  If the transaction requires a tax code that does not involve jurisdictions, ensure that you are using a tax code that is designated for countries without jurisdictions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to tax configuration to ensure compliance with the required settings.
