  Check Tax Type and Tax Group Configuration:

  Ensure that the tax type in question is correctly assigned to the tax group being used in the transaction.
  
  
  
  Assign Tax Type to Tax Group:
  
  If the tax type is not assigned, you will need to assign it to the appropriate tax group. This can usually be done in the configuration settings for tax determination.
  Make sure to save your changes and transport them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Data:
  
  Double-check the transaction data to ensure that the correct tax group is being used and that there are no typos or incorrect entries.
