  Verify Tax Code Configuration:

  Consult with Tax Experts: If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your organization's tax experts or SAP consultants to ensure that the tax configuration complies with local regulations.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the purchase order creation process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
