Need a simple cash register that can apply tax-exempt status to an entire transaction per customer and reflect those non-taxable sales on the end-of-day Z-report.

Existing registers either have a tax-exempt button that doesn't report it correctly on the Z-report, or only allow department-level tax exemption which doesn't work for mixed customer types using the same departments.
