You can use the Sales Tax Rate Interface to import locations and postal codes used for address validation from a third-party supplier, and load sales tax rate records from your sales tax feeder system.

Order Entry/Shipping provides the features you need to handle most domestic taxing needs. Generally, you define all your taxing parameters, including customer and item exemptions and exceptions in Oracle Receivables, and as each order is invoiced, tax is applied based on those rules. Occasionally, a normally taxable customer may have the opportunity to purchase a single order without paying sales tax. You can control whether users can identify such an order as tax-exempt using the Sales Orders window, or whether only your Receivables department can maintain customer and item exemptions. Exemptions entered using the Sales Orders window are subject to approval by the Receivables department via the Tax Exemptions window.
