  The SAP error message J_1IG_MSGS056: Only Input Tax Codes are allowed typically occurs in the context of Brazilian tax reporting, particularly when dealing with the ICMS (Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços) tax codes. This error indicates that the system expects an input tax code, but the code provided is not recognized as such.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Tax Code: The tax code used in the transaction is not classified as an input tax code. In Brazil, tax codes are categorized as either input or output, and only input tax codes can be used for certain transactions, especially those related to tax deductions or credits.
  Configuration Issues: The tax code may not be properly configured in the SAP system. This could be due to missing settings in the tax code configuration or incorrect assignment of the tax code to the relevant tax type.
  Transaction Type: The transaction type being processed may not be compatible with the tax code being used. For example, if you are trying to record a purchase transaction, you must use an input tax code.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Tax Code: Verify the tax code being used in the transaction. Ensure that it is indeed an input tax code. You can do this by checking the configuration in the SAP system:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Tax on Sales/Purchases ? Basic Settings ? Check Tax Codes for Sales and Purchases.
  Ensure that the tax code is marked as an input tax code.
  
  
  
  Change the Tax Code: If the tax code is incorrect, change it to a valid input tax code that corresponds to the nature of the transaction you are processing.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If the tax code is correct but still causing issues, review the configuration settings for the tax code. Ensure that it is properly assigned to the relevant tax type and that all necessary settings are in place.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on tax code configuration in Brazil, as there may be additional requirements or settings that need to be addressed.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on tax code configuration in Brazil.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is involved in tax determination, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect how tax codes are assigned or processed.
