Once you have defined your tax exempt products, you will need to assign your Tax Exempt Product Type using the Product Entry Update window (Setup > Product Related > Product Inquiry)
For example, if News Letters are tax exempt in one or more states, then you would create a Tax Exempt Product Type of “NL” and apply that to any product considered a Newsletter.
Next, using one of your tax exempt NL products, you will need to set up Product Tax Exempt Records for each state for the designated Product Type. (Setup > Accounting/Tax > Product Tax Exempt)
You will then need to copy the tax exempt records for each product that have the same Tax Exempt Product Type using the program Copy Product Tax Exempt Records.
Once you enter the Tax Exempt Product Type, the program will find the first product with the same Tax Exempt Product Type and will copy all the Product Tax Exempt Records from that product code to ALL product codes with the same Tax Exempt Product Type.
Running Copy Product Tax Exempt Reports

The program will then copy all the Product Tax Exempt Records from that state to the new state for the Tax Exempt Product Type entered.
