  Error Message Text:
  WT256: "Tax code & cannot be used for tax procedure &"
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the tax code you are trying to use is not assigned or allowed for the tax procedure configured in your system. In SAP, tax codes are linked to specific tax procedures, and if a tax code is used that does not belong to the tax procedure assigned to the company code or transaction, the system throws this error.
  Common scenarios causing WT256:
  
  The tax code is not maintained or assigned in the tax procedure used by the company code.
  The tax procedure assigned to the company code does not include the tax code.
  Incorrect tax code entered in the transaction that does not match the tax procedure.
  Customizing inconsistency between tax codes and tax procedures.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Tax Code Assignment:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Financial Accounting (New) ? Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) ? Tax on Sales/Purchases ? Basic Settings ? Check Calculation Procedure.
  Verify the tax procedure assigned to the company code.
  
  
  
  Verify Tax Code in Tax Procedure:
  
  Use transaction FTXP to display the tax code.
  Check if the tax code is assigned to the tax procedure used by the company code.
  If not assigned, assign the tax code to the correct tax procedure.
  
  
  
  Maintain Tax Codes Correctly:
  
  If the tax code is missing in the tax procedure, add it via customizing:
  
  SPRO ? Financial Accounting ? Tax on Sales/Purchases ? Basic Settings ? Check Calculation Procedure ? Assign Tax Codes to Tax Procedure.
  
  
  
  
  
  Correct the Tax Code in the Transaction:
  
  Ensure the tax code entered in the transaction matches the tax procedure assigned to the company code.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made in customizing, ensure they are transported properly to the relevant system.
