is it possible to set a custom value here in the TAX TOTAL field using suitscript. By default where is this field calculated from ? it says tax rate .. !! does each item has different tax rate assigned to it !!

Every line on the sublist for the transaction has a field called taxrate1 and taxcode. That tax total is calculated as the sum of all the taxrate1 values.

but here is the tax rate that you were referring to .. under the accounting tab

Maybe you need to customise your form to show that field...

Go to any salesorder and add &amp;xml=T to view the XML. Search for taxrate1. If it doesn't have a value it will only have one instance at the top of the XML with the fieldname. Or you can use the Netsuite field explorer plug-in on a salesorder transaction to view the item sublist which is where that field is part of.

There are lots of configurations for taxes

Beware advice that sounds incompatible with a particular account

can i give a custom value to "TAX TOTAL" and bypass or overwrite the netsuite tax calculation !!

<@U5TF1GQ20> sir can you guide regarding tax configuration or may be provide any link so that i could understand where  this TAX TOTAL quantity derived from ..

no overriding summary type totals in general

without changing the values used to calculate the total

behold the longest help section: <https://system.na0.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=preface_3710626699.html>

In most instances, you cannot manually set tax at all. Thats also a really bad idea to do it (in general)

I will have a look at it . Thanks <@U5TF1GQ20>

Why would you want to override tax anyway? Remember that NetSuite is an accounting system :smile:

would you like to hear about SuiteTax, the future of NetSuite taxes

designed to allow external engines to finally override taxes

You don't even need SuiteTax to override taxes in Netsuite.

you may want to advise mashood on how to override it

best i know of is overriding tax percents and hoping you can live with being off by a penny or so
