  The SAP error message OB071, which states "Default for rebrand status must be 'untaxed'," typically occurs in the context of configuring tax settings in the SAP system, particularly when dealing with tax codes and their associated statuses.
  
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when the system expects a specific configuration for the rebrand status of a tax code or a related entity, and the current setting does not meet the requirement. The "untaxed" status indicates that the item or transaction should not be subject to tax, and if the configuration is set to something else (like "taxable" or "exempt"), the system will throw this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Tax Code Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code OB40 (or use the relevant path in your SAP GUI) to check the configuration of the tax codes.
