  Correct the Code: Ensure that the jurisdiction code you are entering meets the required length. If it is too short, add the necessary characters; if it is too long, truncate it to the correct length.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on jurisdiction codes and their configurations.
  Test with Valid Codes: If you are unsure about the validity of the jurisdiction code, try using a known valid code that meets the length requirement to see if the error persists.
