Sales tax code in customer/Vendor override tax group information in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009

Symptoms

When you set default sales tax group to vendor or customer, and enter vendor or customer account to a voucher, their setting will override the sales tax group information in the voucher. So, when you enter vendor or customer account to a voucher, and want to set different sales tax group to other lines, sales tax group would need to be manually modified.

Cause

This behavior is by design.

Resolution

This code which overrides the sales tax group is found in the below callstack printout that shows when the acountNum field is modified, the taxgroup data will eventually be updated to match whatever is on the vendor journal record via the updateTaxGroup() method.

This behavior is by design.
