    This is the value of the tax on the invoice. Notice that this attribute contains the same value that the sales order contains for the tax.

Modify Tax on Invoice

What if the tax on the invoice must be different than the tax on the sales order?

Continuing our example, let's say you need to change the value of the tax invoice from 125 to 130.

  1. When you're on the Edit Transaction page, in the General Information area, click the pencil in the Tax attribute.

  2. In the dialog that displays, click Actions > Add Row.

  3. Select a tax rate or override the tax rate and manually enter your own tax amount.

    For example, select a tax rate, change the value in the Tax Amount attribute to 130, then click Save and Close. Receivables will change tax on the invoice from 125 to 130 but Order Management won't change the tax amount on the sales order.

  4. On the Edit Transaction page, click Save and Close.
