  The SAP error message XSS_ZA002 indicates that the system is preventing access to data for tax periods prior to the year 2011. This restriction is typically in place due to regulatory compliance or system configuration settings that limit the visibility of historical tax data.
  Cause:
  
  Regulatory Compliance: Many tax systems have regulations that limit the retention and access to historical tax data beyond a certain period. In this case, it appears that the SAP system is configured to restrict access to data prior to the tax year 2011.

  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings in your SAP system related to tax data retention. This may involve checking the settings in the relevant modules (e.g., SAP FI, SAP CO) to see if there are parameters that can be adjusted to allow access to older data.
  Consult with SAP Support: If you need access to historical data for business or compliance reasons, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance on how to access this data or to understand the implications of changing any settings.
  Data Archiving: If the data has been archived, you may need to restore it from the archive. This process typically involves using SAP's archiving tools to retrieve the necessary data.
  User Authorization: Ensure that the user attempting to access the data has the appropriate authorizations. Sometimes, access restrictions can be related to user roles and permissions.
