• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OIH_J1B036 - Mixed customizing for PIS and Cofins - fix price and rate - not allowed. ?

  The SAP error message OIH_J1B036 indicates that there is a mixed customizing configuration for the PIS (Program of Social Integration) and Cofins (Contribution for the Financing of Social Security) taxes in the system. Specifically, it suggests that there is a conflict between fixed price and rate settings for these taxes, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Mixed Customizing: The error arises when the system detects that both fixed price and rate-based configurations are being used simultaneously for PIS and Cofins. This is not permitted as it can lead to inconsistencies in tax calculations.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the tax configuration may not be aligned. For example, if one tax is set to be calculated based on a fixed amount while the other is set to be calculated based on a percentage rate, this will trigger the error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the customizing settings for PIS and Cofins are consistent. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Access the Tax Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Easy Access screen.

  Review the Settings:
  
  Check the configuration for both PIS and Cofins.
  Ensure that both taxes are either set to a fixed price or a rate-based calculation, but not both.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Configuration:
  
  If you find that one tax is set to a fixed price and the other to a rate, decide on a consistent approach based on your business requirements.
  Modify the settings accordingly to ensure they match.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the tax calculations are correct.
