  The SAP error message FOT_US_INT_TAX_CALC048 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the "valid from" date of a jurisdiction code and the "valid from" date defined in the customizing settings for tax calculation. This error typically arises in the context of tax determination and configuration in SAP, particularly for U.S. sales tax.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The jurisdiction code (jur cd) you are trying to use has a "valid from" date that is earlier than the "valid from" date set in the customizing settings for that jurisdiction.

  Look for the jurisdiction code in question and verify its "valid from" date.
  
  
  
  Adjust Dates:
  
  If the jurisdiction code's "valid from" date is indeed earlier than the date in customizing, you may need to either:

  Update the customizing settings to reflect the correct "valid from" date for the jurisdiction code.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Tax Configuration:
