Make the "Tax Code" column non-mandatory for transactions through scripting

By design, the "Tax Code" column is set to mandatory, once you enable the "Per-Line Taxes on Transactions" preference. However, there are some cases that it won't be essential such as when editing historical records either uploaded via CSV or records created before tax codes feature were applied.


We can set it to non-mandatory through scripting. We would need to use a User Event script set to trigger on the "Before Load" event.

Below is a sample script on how we can set it to non-mandatory.

function BeforeLoad(type, form) { if(type == 'edit' || type == 'create') { var itemSublist = form.getSubList('item'); var taxCode = itemSublist.getField('taxcode') if(taxCode){ taxCode.setMandatory(false); } }}
