Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

C_Invoice Calculate Tax is a standard iDempiere process that recalculates tax lines on a selected invoice using current tax rates, tax categories, and line amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is used in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable whenever invoice lines are added, modified, or imported outside the normal entry flow, keeping tax amounts accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running this process keeps invoice totals, tax reporting, and GL postings consistent, preventing mismatched tax amounts during invoice completion or accounting document generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Tax is recalculated only for the invoice selected in the process parameter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The process uses the Tax Category and Tax Rate defined on each invoice line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Recalculation applies to invoices in Drafted or In Progress status.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Completed invoices must be reversed or reactivated before tax recalculation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Run as Job executes the process asynchronously in the background.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tax amounts update automatically without manual line-by-line adjustment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The process does not change invoice line quantities, prices, or products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Prerequisites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Business Partner configured with a valid Tax Category or exempt status.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Tax Rate and Tax Category records configured under Pricing Rules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Invoice created with at least one invoice line entered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Invoice document type and status allow modification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • User has process execution rights on C_Invoice_CalculateTax.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      After opening, the process displays a parameter window with the prompt “Do you want to start the Process?”, an Invoice selection field, and a Run as Job checkbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Configuration Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Step 1: Open the C_Invoice Calculate Tax Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      This process is not a regular window, so it must be launched directly to display its parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Use the top search bar, type “C_Invoice Calculate Tax”, and select the process from the search results. A parameter window opens with a confirmation prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Step 2: Select the Invoice<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      The process needs to know which invoice document to recalculate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Click the Invoice field, search by document number or Business Partner, and select the correct invoice record before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"TenthPlanet-iDempiere-Process-C_InvoiceCalculateTax-3\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      Field Reference<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Invoice<\/td>1000003_06\/15\/2026_230100.00<\/td>Target invoice whose tax lines will be recalculated<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      Step 3: Choose the Run Mode<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      This determines whether the process executes immediately or runs in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Leave Run as Job unchecked for immediate execution on smaller invoices. Check it when recalculating invoices with many lines to avoid UI timeout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Field Reference<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Run as Job<\/td>Unchecked<\/td>Executes the process synchronously and shows results immediately<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      Step 4: Execute the Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      This step triggers the actual tax recalculation on the invoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      Click OK to run the process, or Cancel to exit without changes. A confirmation message displays once tax lines are recalculated successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \"TenthPlanet-iDempiere-Process-C_InvoiceCalculateTax-4\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      Note:<\/strong> Always verify the invoice document number before clicking OK, since the process runs immediately against the selected invoice.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
