how to change tax schedule for Item based on the department of the transaction

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To change the tax schedule for an item based on the department of the transaction, you would need to use a combination of tax schedules and tax codes. Tax schedules define how NetSuite calculates taxes for items in each nexus. They help in calculating taxes based on items as some items don’t have taxes in some states. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can do this: 1. Create a Tax Code for each tax rate you need to apply. For example, if certain items are zero-rated, create a Tax Code for zero tax. 2. Create a Tax Schedule for each department or group of items that need a specific tax treatment. For example, you can create a Tax Schedule for all zero-rated items. 3. Assign the appropriate Tax Code to each Tax Schedule. For example, assign the zero tax code to the zero-rated items tax schedule. 4. On the Item Record, select the appropriate Tax Schedule. This tells NetSuite which tax rate to apply when this item is included in a transaction. 5. When creating a transaction, NetSuite will apply the tax rate based on the Tax Schedule assigned to each item in the transaction. Remember, tax codes are applied at the item level, not on the whole order. So, if you have a transaction with multiple items, each with a different tax schedule, NetSuite will calculate the tax for each item separately based on its tax schedule. Please note that this process might need to be adjusted based on your specific business requirements and tax regulations in your country or state. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
