Specifically, the error states that only tax codes with material usage "Production/Sales" are allowed for the operation you are trying to perform.

  Review Transaction Type:
  
  Ensure that the transaction type you are processing is compatible with the tax code being used. For example, if you are processing a sales order, ensure that the tax code is appropriate for sales transactions.
