Tax Override¶
After an item is added, the tax amount/percent can be changed if needed depending on the circumstances.
The ability to override the tax amount is controlled by the cashier security levels and is configurable.
Concepts¶
- Tax can be overridden by percent or dollar amount.
- The tax can be overridden for an individual sales line.
- Reason codes, for the tax override, are configurable.
- Authority to override can be assigned by security role.
- The tax can also be overridden, for an entire transaction, if the customer has a tax exempt status. Commerce will prompt for the customer's Tax Exempt ID.
