Vendor - Error.

Question

Dear All,
Iam new to SAP-MM & iam practicing from home.
Iam trying to create a new vendor in XK01(Central Vendor). I have given all the inputs & when iam trying to save it iam getting one error as: communication error with the external tax system(VERTEX_MS0018) & iam unable to create a vendor. So pls. tell me the steps to follow.
previously i have asked the same query & few gurus have suggested me to contact basis guy. As i am practising at home & i dont have any knowledge on basis. I request you to solve my problem. Because iam facing this problem from starting.
Thanks in advance!!!
Vineeth.
