2166228 - Price component and Description appear as <Y_>(%)

Symptom

For all business documents that contain pricing information, such as customer and supplier invoices, sales orders, and so on, if a tax type is created using CSL or PDI, the tax type ID and description appears correctly in the tax details of the document (under Items>Taxes in the document editor); however, for the pricing information (under Pricing and Invoicing>Pricing in the document editor), both the price component and description appear as “<Y_>(%)” for both the item and total pricing.
