What is Permit no. on a Purchase order?

It's good to see you here in the Community space, chessus.

The Permit no. on the Purchase order shows when you've set up multiple sales taxes. And the only way to remove it is to turn off your sales tax. However, we don't recommend turning off this feature as it may cause problems in tracking your sales taxes.
