Sales Tax Location Flexfield Structure

The Sales Tax Location Flexfield structure validates addresses within your home country and calculates sales tax based on your customer's shipping address. You must enter a value for this structure in the Systems Options window regardless of the tax method you are using. To see how the system uses this structure to calculate sales tax, see the tax flowcharts in the Calculating Tax essay.

To ensure that location-based taxation will function properly, you must have values for each customer address in your home country. Therefore, every component of your Sales Tax Location Flexfield structure is mandatory when entering addresses in your home country. This requirement is not affected by the address validation level you choose, since Receivables only requires that these address components exist, it does not check whether the components are valid.

Attention: Even if the Required field of the Key Flexfield Segments window is set to No for a segment of the structure, that segment will still be required when you enter an address.

You can also define your own structure using any combination of state, county, city, province, postal code, and address. See: Customizing Your Sales Tax Location Flexfield Structure.

Warning: You should not update the Sales Tax Location Flexfield structure after you have entered customer addresses or transactions.
