Pass Entity Code to Tax Interface (F69)

Purpose: Use this screen to define whether to pass the entity code for an order to the tax interface when requesting tax calculation for the order.

Yes/no field: Select this field if you want the system to pass the entity code associated with the order when communicating with a tax interface. The entity code is associated with the order through the division specified for the source code on the order header.

The tax interface provides a bridge between Order Management System and a sales tax system to calculate tax for orders during order entry, order maintenance, pick slip preparation, and billing.

If this system control value is selected, the system enables a sales tax system to determine whether tax is charged to the order based on the entity associated with the order.

The Use Generic Tax XML Interface (J10) system control value determines whether integration with a tax system is enabled. See:

• Vertex Interface for more information on the Vertex interface.

• Avalara AvaTax Interface for more information on the AvaTax interface.

Override with default division? Optionally, you can specify a default division to always pass to the tax system.

• If you use the Vertex Interface, you can use the Default Values by Company XML File to specify a default division to always pass to Vertex. Your entries in this file can override the setting of this system control value. See the Default Values by Company XML File for more information.

• If you use the Avalara AvaTax Interface, you can use the AvaTax Values by Company Properties File to specify a default entity to always pass to Vertex. Your entries in this file can override the setting in this system control value.

Leave this field unselected if you do not want the system to pass the entity for the order to the tax system, or if you do not integrate with a tax system.
