Tax Codes are not updated with correct shipping state when -Custom- address is used
Whenever a –Custom- on-the-fly shipping address is used on a transaction, the line items’ tax codes are auto-updated with the wrong state tax code. For non-–Custom- addresses we don’t experience the problem. In graphic below shows how when entering line items, the tax code is updated with Nebraska Tax Code instead of the –Custom- shipping address state
This used to work recently, so this is possibly a 2020.1 update issue? Just checking in the Netsuite Professionals community first since I can’t seem to file a support case right now due to Netsuite’s “All Hands” meeting today. Thanks!
Most likely offender?
Someone checked the “Allow override” box on the address, and then changed the typed address as opposed to updating each of the individual fields.
All hands meeting isn’t for several hours, I’d go ahead and file your case now if it’s not what I’m suggesting.
I’ve seen this issue as well, just hadn’t got around to logging the case yet as the client who HAS this issue has put a lock on hours for now. Definitely a bug though. Doesn’t happen if you create a new address rather than custom with exactly the same address details.
Oh good thought, but the issue reproduced with that checkbox unchecked and when updating the individual fields. Thanks for helping me confirm this is probably a Netsuite bug, will file the case now
Also, you might check and make sure this option is not true in General Preferences under Setup -> Company -> General Preferences.
