- This will also enable the scenario for reporting when a custom tax code (beginning with Z*) is created, mapped to the above tax event, and any of the aforementioned tax rate types.
- The output VAT tax return form reflects the values in tax box 415 for documents posted with this tax code. The output file of the VAT tax return reports the amounts in the relevant sections of the output file of the tax return. (Hotfix ID: 4500012102)
