Acumatica Tax Discrepancies: A Case Study
This video examines a case study where Tayana Solutions resolved a tax rate discrepancy issue in the Acumatica system for one of their clients.
Challenges
- Tax Rate Mismatch: A client using Acumatica experienced inconsistencies between the displayed tax rate in the system and the tax rate printed on customer invoices. For instance, a VAT tax ID set at 8.1% in the system was printed as 7.7% on the PDF invoice, resulting in an incorrect final invoice amount.
