Multi-jurisdictional Certificate fails with Invalid ExemptReasonId and Region Combination Error in CertCapture
Overview
In the History tab of my multi-jurisdictional certificate, I see the error message:
"API call initiated for certificate: Failure. Received response: Reason Code XX is not exempt in region(s): XX (Invalid ExemptReasonId and region combination)"
Environment
CertCapture
Resolution
This happens when the reason code you've selected is not exempt in the region or regions listed in your multi-jurisdictional certificate
- This often happens when states that do not have a sales tax are part of your certificate (New Hampshire, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, Delaware)
- Since the above states do not have a sales tax, these regions will always fail as part of a multi-jurisdictional certificate
To resolve this, go back through the validation process, but this time exclude the region(s) causing the API error.
