  Create New Mapping:
  
  If you need to create a new mapping, ensure that you are using a unique combination of tax code and cXML tax category that does not already exist in the system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to tax code configuration and cXML integration to ensure that you are following the correct procedures.
