Issue/Symptom/Question

One of our staff was trying to enter costcodes subject to tax in the Costcode Tax Rule Maintenance Window but is unable to enter a percent of 0. Is there some sort of setting that would allow us to enter a 0%?

Error being returned:

This number may not be zero.

PENTA for Windows

Project Management > Jobs > Costcode Tax Rule Maintenance

Project Management > Jobs > Job Information

Resolution/Fix/Answer

PENTA allows for zero percent in this field with the below setup/process:

Option 1: 

The Pcnt. Subj. To Tax field pulls in from the Job Information - Sales/Use Tax tab, Taxable % field. Changing this field to 0%, PENTA will pull this into the Pcnt. Subj when entering cost types and costcodes. 

Option 2: 

Copy the Job Tax Rules from an existing job where the zero percent is set up - NOTE: cost types and costcodes have to be the same if this process is to be used.
