  The SAP error message OIUX1_TAX_MESSAGES061 indicates that there is an issue with the value of the "active flag" for a specific tax agency in the system. The error message specifies that the only valid values for this flag are 'X' (indicating that the agency is active) or a space (indicating that the agency is inactive).
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Data Entry: The active flag for the tax agency has been set to a value other than 'X' or a space, which is not acceptable.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was imported or migrated from another system, it may have included invalid values for the active flag.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Active Flag:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration or master data transaction where the tax agency is defined (e.g., transaction code OIUX1).
  Locate the tax agency in question and check the value of the active flag.
  Ensure that the active flag is set to either 'X' (for active) or left blank (for inactive).
  
  
  
  Correct the Value:
  
  If the active flag is set to an invalid value, change it to 'X' or a space as appropriate.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  If the error occurred after a data migration, review the data import process to ensure that only valid values are being used for the active flag.
  Implement validation checks to prevent invalid data from being entered in the future.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the functionality that triggered the error to ensure that it has been resolved.
