Sales tax code in customer/vendor overrides tax group information in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009

  • Article

This article introduces a by design behavior that sales tax code in customer/vendor overrides tax group information in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009.

Applies to:   Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009
Original KB number:   2264984

Symptoms

When you set default sales tax group to vendor or customer in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009, and enter vendor or customer account to a voucher, their setting will override the sales tax group information in the voucher. So, when you enter vendor or customer account to a voucher, and want to set different sales tax group to other lines, sales tax group would need to be manually modified.

Cause

This behavior is by design.

More information

This code which overrides the sales tax group is found in the below callstack printout that shows when the acountNum field is modified, the taxgroup data will eventually be updated to match whatever is on the vendor journal record via the updateTaxGroup() method.
