  Review Document Settings:
  
  Check the document type settings in the configuration to ensure that they are compatible with line-by-line tax calculations.
  Ensure that the document type being used allows for the currency settings you are trying to apply.
  
  
  
  Adjust Currency Settings:
  
  If necessary, change the currency settings for the transaction or document to ensure that they align with the company code currency and the tax calculation method being used.
