Usage of both Sales Tax and Use Tax tax codes together on the same purchase order is not permitted in the system.

In short, US tax code 8, 9 and 16 cannot be used on a purchase order where other tax codes are being used.

Tax Code 8, 9 and 16 are the only use tax tax codes in the system. They cannot be clubbed with other tax codes on a supply side document.

This applies to both Supplier invoices and Purchase Orders or any purchase side documents that involve both Sales Tax and Use Tax.

Cancel the purchase order and segregate the purchase order such that these tax codes 8, 9 and 16 are on a separate purchase order and other sales tax tax codes are on a separate purchase order.
