• Message text: &1: jurisdiction-dependent tax is active, enter a jurisdiction code

What causes this issue?

The system settings require the entry of a jurisdiction code.
A jurisdiction code automatically applies to the lower-level objects.
Therefore, it is sufficient to maintain the jurisdiction code at the
business entity level.
An entry in the lower-level objects (building, land, rental object, or
real estate contract) is only necessary if the jurisdiction code differs
from the higher-level object.
Changes to the jurisdiction code automatically have an effect on all
lower-level objects for which no jurisdiction code was explicitly
defined.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Enter the jurisdiction code (if possible at business entity level).
