UCS0096 - Details

• The SAP error message UCS0096 indicates that there is an issue with the tax rate determination for a specific document type in the system. This error typically arises when the system is unable to find a valid tax rate for the specified document type due to the time-dependent nature of tax rates.
  
  Cause:
  
  Time-Dependent Tax Rates: In SAP, tax rates can be defined to be valid only for specific time periods. If the document date falls outside the validity period of the tax rate, the system will not be able to determine the correct tax rate, leading to this error.
  Missing Tax Rate Configuration: The tax rate for the specified document type may not be configured correctly in the system, or it may not exist for the date of the transaction.
  Document Type Issues: The document type specified in the error message may not be set up correctly to use the appropriate tax codes
