  Check Tax Code: Verify that the tax code being used is valid and exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the tax code configuration in the SAP system (Transaction Code: OBYZ).
  Correct Data Entry: Ensure that the correct tax code is entered in the transaction. If "0" was entered by mistake, replace it with the appropriate tax code.
