This error typically arises in the context of compliance with tax regulations, especially in countries like India where GST (Goods and Services Tax) is applicable.
  Cause:
  
  Missing HSN/SAC Codes: The most common cause is that the HSN or SAC code has not been assigned to the material or service in the master data.

  Solution:
  
  
  Assign HSN/SAC Codes:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM02 for changing or MM01 for creating).
  Navigate to the relevant views (usually the Accounting or Sales views) and ensure that the HSN/SAC code is assigned.
  For services, check the service master data (transaction code AC03).
