Customer Tax Codes

Customer Tax Codes

Purpose and when to use this record

Classify how a customer is taxed and which tax rules apply during sales.

At a glance

  • Identify it by: Name.

  • Why care: These master records supply defaults and choices to later transactions. Correct duplicates and inactive records before staff build more activity on the wrong record.

Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on customer tax codes. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

Create a customer tax code

Create a customer tax code only when the existing choices do not represent the policy or classification you need. Near-duplicate setup values split reporting and make later selection harder.

  1. Select the business context first.

  2. Enter the required identifying and operational values: Name.

  3. Review the identifying information shown on the screen against the source document or approved setup decision.

  4. Save the customer tax code, then confirm Name on its detail page before continuing.

After saving: Open Customers, Stores, and Tax Rules and confirm the customer tax code appears with the intended label and availability. Keep the old value for historical records when changing it would split or relabel prior reporting.

Delete a customer tax code

Delete this customer tax code only if it is an unused duplicate or setup mistake. Once other records refer to it, preserve that history and make the value inactive when the screen provides that option.

Before confirming, check for related Customers, Stores, and Tax Rules. Brisk may refuse deletion when another record depends on this one; resolve the duplicate or use the supported correction workflow instead of breaking the trail.

On the confirmation page, verify Name. After confirmation, return to the Customer Tax Codes list and make sure only the intended customer tax code was removed.

Review customer tax code details

Use the detail page as the shared record of what this customer tax code currently means. Verify Name before relying on it for a decision.

Compare the customer tax code with its source document or approved setup request before deciding that it needs correction.

Next check: Open Customers, Stores, and Tax Rules and confirm the customer tax code appears with the intended label and availability. Keep the old value for historical records when changing it would split or relabel prior reporting.

Edit an existing customer tax code

Edit this customer tax code when the underlying policy or classification changed. First determine whether historical transactions should retain the old value; if so, deactivate the old choice and create a new one.

  1. Open the detail page. Compare Name with the supporting document or approved request.

  2. Recheck the identifying information shown on the screen. These values are most likely to change future transactions, defaults, assignment, pricing, and reporting.

  3. Save the change, return to the list, and confirm that the customer tax code now appears under the expected Name.

After the change: Open Customers, Stores, and Tax Rules and confirm the customer tax code appears with the intended label and availability. Keep the old value for historical records when changing it would split or relabel prior reporting.
