  The SAP error message 8B002 ("Enter a CPF only in conjunction with a natural person") typically occurs in the context of Brazilian tax compliance, particularly when dealing with the Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas (CPF), which is the Brazilian individual taxpayer identification number.
  Cause:
  This error arises when a user attempts to enter a CPF number in a context where it is not applicable, such as for a legal entity (company) rather than a natural person (individual). The CPF is specifically meant for individuals, and the system is designed to enforce this rule to ensure compliance with Brazilian tax regulations.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should ensure that:
  
  
  Correct Entity Type: Verify that you are entering the CPF for a natural person (individual) and not for a legal entity (company). If you are dealing with a company, you should use the CNPJ (Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica) instead.
  
  
  Data Entry: Double-check the data entry fields to ensure that the CPF is being entered in the correct context. If you are in a transaction or a form that requires a CNPJ, do not enter a CPF.
  
  
  User Role and Permissions: Ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions to enter the data. Sometimes, user roles can restrict access to certain fields based on the type of entity.
  
  
  System Configuration: If you believe you are entering the data correctly and still receive the error, it may be worth checking with your SAP administrator or support team to ensure that the system configuration aligns with the business requirements and legal regulations.
