  The SAP error message FS798 indicates an issue related to tax codes and the Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) reporting requirements. This error typically arises when there is a mismatch between the target tax code and the MOSS reporting country in the context of VAT (Value Added Tax) reporting.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to use a tax code that is not compatible with the MOSS reporting country specified in your transaction.
  The target tax code is set up in a way that it should not be used for transactions involving the specified MOSS reporting country.
  There may be configuration issues in the tax code settings or the MOSS reporting settings in your SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FS798 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Tax Code Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OBYZ (or the relevant transaction for tax code configuration).
  Verify the settings for the target tax code (&1) to ensure it is correctly configured for the MOSS reporting requirements.
  
  
  
  Review MOSS Reporting Country:
  
  Check the MOSS reporting country (&2) in your transaction. Ensure that the tax code you are using is appropriate for that country.
  If the tax code is not meant for MOSS reporting, you may need to select a different tax code that is valid for the specified country.
  
  
  
  Adjust Tax Code Usage:
  
  If necessary, adjust the tax code assignment in your transaction or document to use a tax code that is compatible with the MOSS reporting country.
