Cause
The error message is being displayed because no address is maintained in the Sales Unit, which is being used in the Return ABC.
Your system is scoped with an Automated Tax Software, as for example Avalara or any other similar. In this case, the external provider validates each and every address within that document and noticed an empty address during validation and therefore, throws an error.
Any tax calculation or determination would require the addresses of all involved parties.
Resolution
To solve the error, which is being displayed, you need to maintain the address of the Sales Unit with a proper Postal and Region Codes.
