NOTES

If no tax code is set for supplier /customer, it should follow the tax_code set at item level.

However, Item level have 2 different tax code: "tax_code" for purchase and "tax_code_output" for sales.

So, if the page is for purchase txn, it should select "tax_code", and if the page is for sales txn, it should select "tax_code_output".

Then again, if neither is available, it should follow branch level tax_code.

Lastly if even that is not available, it should be assigned to blank
