I’m not able to send an order, I’m trying to set the taxes as follow:

```auto

    },
    "idempotency_key": "6495f0c7-dda0-4f2d-ab63-f634409db765"
}

```

And i’m having the following response:

```auto
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": "BAD_REQUEST",
      "detail": "mixed usage of applied adjustments fields with deprecated adjustments fields is not supported",
      "category": "INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR"
    }
  ]
}

```

I tried to follow the documentation and check the other forum solutions and I didn’t find a way to solve this

👋 In the order you didn’t provide a `SCOPE` field for the discount on the order. You will need to remove the 0 money discount entirely, but if you want to keep it on the order, you can add a scope and it should succeed. 🙂
