  Maintain Tax Classification:
  
  Look for the field labeled "Tax Classification" or similar (it may vary based on your SAP version).
  Enter the appropriate tax classification code for the customer. This code should correspond to the tax regulations applicable to the customer.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After entering the necessary information, save the changes to the customer master record.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Transaction:
