Acumatica Tax Exemption Issues: A Simple Solution

This video addresses a common issue faced by Acumatica users: How to correct an invoice that incorrectly charged tax to a tax-exempt customer. 

(a) Challenges

Many Acumatica users struggle with tax issues, specifically when a tax-exempt customer is incorrectly charged tax. This can cause stress and frustration for both the user and the client. This problem becomes more complicated if the customer has already paid the incorrect invoice. 

(b) Solution and Benefits

Mamta, an Associate Functional Consultant at Tayana Solutions, with over 13 years of ERP experience and expertise in over 150 Acumatica scenarios, provides a step-by-step solution to this problem. 

The Solution 

  • Reverse the payment application: This creates the flexibility to make the necessary corrections. 
  • Cancel the incorrect invoice: This action in Acumatica generates a credit memo, acting as a counterbalance to the original invoice while maintaining a clear audit trail. 
  • Create a new invoice from the original sales order: Crucially, set the tax category to “non-taxable” before releasing the new invoice. 
  • Apply the excess payment to future invoices: The original payment is not lost and can be applied to future invoices for that customer. 

Benefits 

  • Efficient and accurate solution: This process solves the issue within Acumatica efficiently and accurately. 
  • Maintains a clear audit trail: All steps are documented, ensuring transparency and compliance. 
  • Resolves the tax issue and ensures correct tax status: The credit memo offsets the incorrect invoice, and the new invoice reflects the correct, non-taxable status. 
  • Keeps finances balanced: The excess payment is applied to future invoices, maintaining financial accuracy. 
  • Reduces stress and frustration: Outsourcing to a company like Tayana Solutions, with a team of experienced Acumatica consultants, can save users time and frustration.
