  The SAP error message 8B281 indicates that a Nota Fiscal (a Brazilian tax document) will be regenerated due to the presence of a new item or changes in values associated with an existing item. This error typically arises in the context of Brazilian tax compliance, where the Nota Fiscal must accurately reflect the details of the transaction, including items, quantities, and values.
  Cause:
  
  New Item Added: A new item has been added to the sales order or delivery that was not previously included in the Nota Fiscal.
  Changed Values: There have been changes to the values of existing items, such as quantity, price, or tax codes.
  Document Status: The Nota Fiscal may be in a status that does not allow for changes, prompting the system to regenerate it.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the Nota Fiscal process in SAP, such as incorrect settings in the tax determination or item category.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Changes: Check the sales order or delivery document for any new items or changes to existing items. Ensure that all details are correct and complete.
  Regenerate Nota Fiscal: If changes are valid, proceed to regenerate the Nota Fiscal. This can typically be done through the transaction code used for Nota Fiscal generation (e.g., J1B1N or J1B1D).
  Check Document Status: Ensure that the document status allows for regeneration. If the document is already processed, you may need to reverse or cancel it before making changes.
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings related to Nota Fiscal in the SAP system. This may involve checking the tax determination settings, item categories, and other related configurations.
