• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDOCUMENT_IN046 - Provide a valid tax combination(CGST and SGST) or IGST at line item & ?

  The SAP error message EDOCUMENT_IN046 indicates that there is an issue with the tax configuration for a line item in a document. Specifically, it suggests that the system requires a valid tax combination of CGST (Central Goods and Services Tax) and SGST (State Goods and Services Tax) for intra-state transactions, or IGST (Integrated Goods and Services Tax) for inter-state transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Tax Configuration: The tax codes assigned to the line item may not be valid for the type of transaction (intra-state vs. inter-state).
  Missing Tax Codes: The required tax codes (CGST, SGST, or IGST) may not be assigned to the line item.
  Incorrect Master Data: The master data for the customer or vendor may not be set up correctly, leading to the wrong tax determination.
  Transaction Type: The transaction type may not match the tax configuration (e.g., selling goods within the same state vs. selling across states).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Tax Codes: Review the tax codes assigned to the line item. Ensure that:
