• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VVSCCHECK115 - &1: External tax data without tax code ?

  The SAP error message VVSCCHECK115 indicates that there is external tax data present in a transaction, but it is missing a corresponding tax code. This typically occurs in scenarios where tax calculations are performed, and the system expects a tax code to be associated with the external tax data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Tax Code: The primary cause of this error is that the transaction is trying to process external tax data (like tax amounts or rates) without a tax code being specified.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of tax settings in the SAP system, such as incorrect settings in the tax calculation procedure or missing tax codes in the relevant tax jurisdiction.
  Data Entry Errors: Users may have entered data incorrectly, leading to the absence of a tax code in the transaction.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Tax Code Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the relevant tax code is assigned to the transaction. You can do this by reviewing the document or transaction where the error occurred.
  If you are using external tax calculation services (like SAP Concur or third-party tax engines), ensure that the tax code is being correctly retrieved and assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for tax calculation in SAP (Transaction code: SPRO).
  Navigate to Financial Accounting (New) > Tax on Sales/Purchases > Basic Settings > Check Calculation Procedure.
  Ensure that the tax codes are correctly defined and that the tax calculation procedure is set up properly.
  
  
  
  Data Entry Validation:

  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on tax configuration and error handling.
  
  
  
  Testing:
