Purchase and Sales By Tax Code Reports throw "Report Execution Error" if VAT/GST Amount Reaches Ten Billion (10,000,000,000.00)

Error is happening to the following saved reports included in the International Tax Reports bundle (ID=14864) :

•   Purchase By Tax Code (Summary) 
•   Sales by Tax Code (Detail) 
•   Sales By Tax Code (Summary) 
•   Purchase By Tax Code (Detail)

The reports above are saved reports included in the International Tax Reports bundle (ID=14864) 


This occurs if the VAT/GST amount reaches 10,000,000,000.00 the report errors with "Report Execution Error: NetSuite has encountered an error while generating your report. Please click here to notify support." The error log shows "value larger than specified precision allowed for this column". This kind of transaction is most probably entered by mistake. It is very unlikely that a transaction tax will amount to more than ten billion.
