  The SAP error message 3N047 ("This tax type does not allow tax adjustments") typically occurs when you attempt to make a tax adjustment for a tax type that is not configured to allow such adjustments. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during invoice processing, tax reporting, or when trying to correct a previous transaction.
