Sales Tax Rate Interface Program Updates
of AR_TAX_INTERFACE Table
Below is a description of the columns in the tax interface table AR_TAX_INTERFACE that the Sales Tax Rate Interface program updates during execution. All other columns in this table remain unchanged after the initial load from your feeder system. You can review this data by running the Sales Tax Rate Interface report in Review mode.
STATUS
The Sales Tax Rate Interface program populates this column with the action code that it identifies for this record.
LOCATION_
SEGMENT_ID
The Sales Tax Rate Interface program populates this column with the ID of the location associated with this row. This ID column links a location in Receivables to the rows of tax interface data that relate to this location, and is a foreign key to AR_LOCATION_VALUES.LOCATION_SEGMENT_ID.
Note: If you need to reload the tax data for a month that you have previously loaded into the interface tables, you should first null the above two columns to reset the data. You can then run the sql*loader file again and reload the data for that month. If you do not null these two columns, Receivables will not reload the same month's data.
The Sales Tax Rate Interface program transfers sales tax data into the following Receivables tables:
AR_LOCATION_VALUES
AR_LOCATION_RATES
AR_TAX_INTERFACE
Below is a description of the columns in the AR_TAX_INTERFACE table into which you load sales tax data using SQL*Loader.
The Sales Tax Rate Interface program transfers the sales tax rate data from AR_TAX_INTERFACE to the AR_LOCATION_VALUES and AR_LOCATION_RATES tables. These two tables store your locations and tax rates, respectively. The AR_TAX_INTERFACE table's column descriptions note the columns in the AR_LOCATION_VALUES and AR_LOCATION_RATES tables into which records are transferred. If the column description does not have a destination section, this information will not be transferred.
