Create a non-inventory item or a dummy item called 'Taxes'. This item will be used to track the tax amounts on your vendor bills. 2. When creating a vendor bill, add a line item using the 'Taxes' item you created. Enter the tax amount in this line. 3. If you want to assign taxes to transaction line items, you can enable the 'Per-Line Taxes on Transactions' option. To do this, go to 'Setup Nexus' and check the 'Available Per-Line Taxes on Transactions' box. This allows you to charge different tax rates for items on the same transaction. Each time you add a line item to a sales transaction, you must select the appropriate tax code or tax group in the Tax column. 4. If you weren't charged tax for a purchase but should have been, you'll need to self-pay this tax. This is known as 'use tax'. NetSuite does not handle this use case natively, so you'll need to manually add this tax to your vendor bills. 5. If you're using the Advanced Approval feature, you can ignore the tax amount in 3-way matching so it doesn't affect the matching process. Your purchase orders (POs) don't have to include the tax amount. Please note that this method requires manual entry of tax amounts and may not be suitable for all businesses. Always consult with your tax advisor or accountant to ensure you're handling taxes correctly.
