• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CA_TTE436 - If TTE and calling system have different tax types, check assignment ?

  The SAP error message CA_TTE436 typically occurs in the context of tax determination and transfer pricing when there is a mismatch between the tax types defined in the Tax Transfer Engine (TTE) and those in the calling system (such as SAP ERP or S/4HANA). This error indicates that the tax types used in the transaction do not align, which can lead to issues in tax calculation and reporting.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatch of Tax Types: The tax types defined in the TTE do not match the tax types used in the calling system. This can happen if:

  Check Tax Type Assignments: 
  
  Review the tax types configured in both the TTE and the calling system. Ensure that they are aligned and that the same tax types are being used for the same transactions.
  Verify the assignment of tax types in the TTE configuration and ensure that they correspond to the tax types in the calling system.
  
  
  
  Update Configuration:
  
  If discrepancies are found, update the configuration in either the TTE or the calling system to ensure consistency.
  Make sure that any changes made in one system are reflected in the other.
