  The country not being activated for the relevant application area (e.g., tax calculation).
  
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or configuration settings that prevent the system from recognizing the country.

  Check Country Configuration:

  Review Master Data:
  
  Check the master data (e.g., customer/vendor records) to ensure that the country code is correctly assigned.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary configurations were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
