Hi method, I was creating an estimate today and noticed that the default tax choice is sales tax item. The problem with that is we have multiple tax items in Texas for each customer, so we have to create what are called Sales Tax Groups in Quickbooks.

The message appears directly on the screen. So far I have gotten around it by leaving a balance of $0.01 on the SO's. Next time it happens I will take a screen shot and post it.  I do not know if it leaves an unresolved conflict, I will also look into that next time I encounter it.
