Getting this error when I try to add a state to an address on a sales order. "This shipping address change is not allowed for existing transactions because this shipping address requires a new tax form." what does it mean and how do I fix it?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
The error message you're encountering is related to the tax nexus associated with the shipping address. In NetSuite, a tax nexus is the specific geographical area where a tax obligation exists. When you change the shipping address, NetSuite checks if the new address requires a different tax form due to a different tax nexus. If it does, and the transaction is already saved, NetSuite prevents the change because it could affect the tax calculations and reporting. To fix this issue, you have a few options: 1. Create a new transaction: If the transaction is not yet finalized, you can create a new one with the correct shipping address from the start. This way, the correct tax form will be used. 2. Use a different address that doesn't require a new tax form: If possible, use a different shipping address that falls within the same tax nexus as the original address. 3. Change the address before saving the transaction: If the transaction is not yet saved, you can change the shipping address. Once the transaction is saved, however, you cannot change the address if it requires a different tax form. Remember, changing the address on a transaction after it has been saved is generally not recommended because it can lead to inconsistencies in tax reporting. Always double-check the shipping address before saving a transaction to avoid such issues. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
