Merging Resale Certificates during Customer Merge
When merging two customers, their resale certificates, along with the expiry dates linked to their respective State IDs, are also consolidated.
You cannot merge from the source to the destination customer when the resale certificate contains:
The Customers having same State, Certificate number, and Expiry date.
The Customers having same State, and Certificate number, but different Expiry dates.
The Customers having same State, and Expiry date, but different Certificate numbers.
When there is ambiguity of Resale certificate definitions, R2 will abort the merging process and display an appropriate message as shown below.
