## How to Pick Taxes from Masters While Retrieving Purchase Indents in Purchase Orders?
In this tutorial, we will learn how to enable the **"Pick Taxes from Masters while Retrieving Purchase Indent"** option in Purchase Orders. This feature ensures that when a Purchase Indent is retrieved into a Purchase Order, the system applies the latest Tax configuration defined in the Item Master instead of the Tax details originally saved in the Purchase Indent.
***
### Objective of This Feature
* Apply the latest tax structure from the Item Master.
* Ensure tax rates remain updated during Purchase Order creation.
* Avoid using outdated tax information from older Purchase Indents.
* Improve GST compliance and tax accuracy.
* Reduce manual tax corrections during Purchase Order processing.
***
### Enable the Configuration
* Open the **Purchase Order Configuration** window.
* Navigate to the **Default Settings** section.
* Locate and enable the option labeled as:
> **"Pick Taxes from Masters while Retrieving Purchase Indent"**
* After enabling the option, save the configuration.
***
### Understanding the Default Behavior
Normally, when a Purchase Indent is retrieved into a Purchase Order:
* The tax details saved in the Purchase Indent are carried forward.
* Any tax changes made later in the Item Master are not considered.
By enabling this feature:
* The system ignores the tax stored in the Purchase Indent.
* The latest tax configuration from the Item Master is applied during retrieval.
***
### Create a Purchase Indent
* Create a New Purchase Indent.
* Select an Item.
**Observation**
The selected Item is currently linked to:
* **12% GST Tax Group.**
Save the Purchase Indent.
***
### Update the Tax Group in Item Master
* Open the **Item Master**.
* Search for the same Item used in the Purchase Indent.
* Navigate to **Group Details**.
* Change the Tax Allocation from:
* **12% GST**
To
* **18% GST**
* Save the Item Master.
***
### Create a New Purchase Order
* Initiate a New Purchase Order.
* Select the Supplier.
* Proceed to the Item Details section.
* Click on **Retrieve**.
* Select the previously created Purchase Indent.
**Result**
The Item is retrieved with:
* **18% GST**
even though the Purchase Indent was originally saved with:
* **12% GST**
This occurs because the system fetches the latest tax information directly from the Item Master during retrieval.
***
### Key Benefits
* Automatically applies updated tax rates.
* Prevents the use of outdated tax information.
* Improves GST compliance.
* Reduces manual tax adjustments.
* Ensures consistency between Item Masters and Purchase Orders.
***
### Best Practice Tips
* Always maintain accurate tax configurations in the Item Master.
* Enable this feature if tax rates are frequently revised.
* Review tax groups after major GST updates.
* Verify retrieved tax details before finalizing Purchase Orders.
***
### Final Outcome
When **"Pick Taxes from Masters while Retrieving Purchase Indent"** is enabled, Logic ERP automatically applies the latest Tax Group defined in the Item Master during Purchase Indent retrieval. This ensures that Purchase Orders always use the most current tax configuration, regardless of the tax details originally stored in the Purchase Indent.
