Enter an explicit zero tax amount in bill document review

Distinguish a checked zero from an unresolved source field.

Updated 2026-11-11

Bill document review asks for the tax shown on the source, including an explicit 0.00 when there is no tax. A checked zero communicates a different result from leaving the tax field unresolved because the source has not been reviewed.

Open the supplier document and inspect its subtotal, tax section and final total. Enter the source tax amount in Tax amount. If the source explicitly has no tax, enter zero and confirm that the reviewed total matches the subtotal.

If the reader omitted the tax or returned an uncertain value, resolve it from the source rather than treating the omission as zero. Also check whether an apparent tax difference is actually caused by a missing line or discount.

The review records the source amount; it does not decide legal tax treatment. Later account mapping and issuance remain subject to the supported book workflow. Keep any uncertainty unresolved until an authorized reviewer has the evidence needed to proceed, and use the final confirmation only when the arithmetic and source details have been checked.
