| Issue:
In QuoteWerks an error is received referencing an Invalid tax code such as: Invalid tax code 'Y' passed to Return TaxableBooleanBasedOnTaxCode Cause: The issue is likely due to the differences between the Canadian and US tax systems. This issue is normally encountered by users in Canada who have set the Canadian tax system and are attempting to utilize a product database which contain the US tax codes. This issue is often encountered by demo users in Canada since the demo product database is formatted for the US tax system. US tax system Y= Taxable, N= Non-taxable Canadian tax system B= GST & PST, G= GST only, P= PST only, N= Non-taxable If you create or re-import a new product list the issue will be resolved as detailed in article 6093.
