Depending on the type of message (warning, error), you may be able to
save the purchase order or scheduling agreement. However, problems are
likely to arise with follow-on functions (see below).

How to fix this error?

Check the tax code. Without a tax code, it is not possible to update the
supplier business volume expressed as value at the time of
"PO/scheduling agreement" or "goods receipt".
Posting the document without a tax code (in the event that this system
message is a warning) causes a message to appear in the workflow of the
employee responsible, as the update of the supplier business volume
expressed as value cannot be performed.
