Problem

This error indicates you have not set a tax zone for that customer’s location in ServiceTitan.


Solution

Confirm address and set tax zone

  1. For the erroring out invoice in question pull up the customer’s service location and validate the address if necessary by clicking on the orange ‘?’ next to the address.

  2. This will prompt you to set the location to a Google-validated address. If the address is not found or is unable to be validated, at minimum, you will need to manually enter a zip code.

  3. Once the address is entered into the correct format, you will need to set your tax zones.

  4. To set a tax zone in ServiceTitan, click the Settings icon. In the side panel, click Invoicing > Tax Zones

  6. On the Accounting Page, pull up the Batch with the error unpost/repost the batch > Right Click + Reload anywhere on the screen to hard refresh the page > export the Batch.
