Resolution

In the current release of SAP Business ByDesign system, it is not possible to use the customized tax code in the Customs Invoice document. However, if you want to change the tax rate then it is possible to do so. You can change the tax rates in the fine tune activity Tax on Goods and Services -> Tax rate Schedules in Business Configuration work center.

Note : If you have defined the tax rates with the same tax type then the system will pick the tax rate which has been created recently i.e. if you have two tax rates A created on 01.01.2013 and created B created on 01.05.2013 then the system will pick the tax rate maintained for B.
