When adding a Purchase Order Line, the tax cannot be found even if tax rate and tax category defaults have been defined. Tax Category has also been set for the price list for all products tested. Strange that the tax being searched is for sales.

"Error: Could not find tax…

Hi @rmandia,

> Strange that the tax being searched is for sales.

No, it’s not. See:

> Sales Transaction: No

I suggest to paste here the screenshots of tax/taxes definitions in your default tax category (which i guess you have set it to your product in price list).
