Working with Tax Product Code Cross References (WTPC)

Purpose: Use this menu option to create a cross reference between a tax product code and an item class, long SKU division, long SKU department, and long SKU class combination.

Avalara Tax Integration: The Avalara AvaTax integration uses the tax product code to determine the tax for a particular product class. If a tax code is not associated with an item, AvaTax assigns a default tax code of U0000000, indicating an unknown tax code. See the Avalara AvaTax Interface and Avalara AvaTax Setup for more information.

Determining a match: In order to be considered a match to a tax product code, the item class, long SKU division, long SKU department, and long SKU class combination values must exactly match the values defined for an item.

Example: The following tax product code cross references are defined.

Item Class

L/S Division

L/S Department

L/S Class

The system assigns the tax product code to each item using the item class, long SKU division, long SKU department, and long SKU class combination to find an exact match to a tax product code cross reference.
