Notes

After you install the hotfix, the following tasks will be scheduled to make the necessary updates to the system:

Update Documents Tax Details
Update Documents Tax Percent
Update Orders Tax Details

Depending on the source installation, it can take up to several hours to complete these tasks. Please make sure these tasks successfully complete. You can find these tasks in Billing PCP under Tasks. If any of these tasks fail, resubmit them. In case of other failures, please report the issues to the support team providing the following logs:

billing.log,
billing.scheduler.log

To use the tax calculation approach where the tax rate effective on the end date of the current billing period is applied (a new feature):

Install the hotfix.
To post-process reseller transactions, run the tax_e_date.py script, which will add auxiliary data to reseller transactions that have been provisioned but not yet billed.
- By default, the script runs in the dry run mode. In this mode, the script will check data in the platform database and write all the warnings to the log file.
- Default log file: /tmp/tax_e_date.log (it is possible to redefine it in the script parameters).
- Use the --commit option to update data in the database.
- Run the script on the Billing Application node.
Configure the necessary tax rates and application periods.
Correct the tax rate in AR documents issued before you installed the hotfix.
