This message typically arises in the context of Brazilian tax regulations, where the NCM code is used to classify goods for tax purposes.
  Cause:
  
  NCM Code Change: The NCM code was changed in the system, but the system has determined that this change does not impact the tax calculation for the transaction in question.

  Solution:
  
  Review NCM Code: Ensure that the new NCM code is correctly configured in the system and that it is associated with the appropriate tax codes.
  Check Tax Configuration: Verify the tax configuration settings in SAP to ensure that the NCM code is linked to the correct tax treatment. This may involve checking the tax determination procedure and ensuring that the NCM code is correctly mapped to the relevant tax codes.
  Transaction Review: Review the specific transaction to determine if it should indeed trigger a tax recalculation based on the NCM code change. If the transaction type does not require a tax recalculation, then the message can be ignored.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance on handling NCM codes and tax calculations in your version of SAP.
  Testing: If changes are made, conduct tests to ensure that the tax calculations are now reflecting the expected results based on the new NCM code.
