Where do I find the tax field? Solved

I am trying to export orders from AC7 to another database for further processing. Where do I find the total tax for an order? I do see a tax code but I wondering if I have to use it to calculate the tax for the order. If so, I do find this odd because it is possible for taxes to change (i.e. change in government) long after the order was placed, making the order invalid in the future. Am I thinking about this correctly?

I believe tax is a line item just as shipping and discounts are.

Look in ac_OrderItems.

Hello Joe,

That is correct.

Since the tax amount for an order is stored in the order items table, it won't change in the future if the tax rates change. Once the order is placed, it doesn't change.

Thanks. I realized that I didn't setup my taxes and didn't see it.
