Editing Tax amounts in IR6.5

In IR6.1B the user was allowed to edit tax on the order/receipt/return total screens only if the tax jurisdiction was set up to post taxes to AP and/or GL in the "Costing Method". If taxes were in any way set up to post as a cost component to IC, the user could not edit the tax amounts for that tax jurisdiction.

The tax handling in IR6.5A is a lot more powerful in several respects and now allows editing of line taxes. This could be particularly useful in situations where a "tax" is used for example as a discount or rebate system rather than a "tax" in the strictest definition. However, this also means that users who were used to editing a single entry is now presented with a list of amounts to edit, which will be time consuming.

The answer is quite simple. If the user was able to edit the taxes in IR6.1B their specific tax setup did not allow taxes to be posted to IC as an item cost component. This means that it is irrelevant which item or items are edited as this information has no effect on the final posting of the transaction to IC, AP and GL. The user can simply make the required tax corrections to the first item line and the end result will be the same and posting will be correct. There is no need to correct each line's tax amounts individually. This will only be required and relevant if the tax will be posted to the item cost, in which case individual line editing would be required in any case.
