Entering Tax Information on Purchase Orders

Access the Order Header form.

Note: On the Processing tab, the processing option for Header Display must contain the value 1 for the header form to appear.

Order Date

Enter the date that an order was entered into the system. This date determines which effective level the system uses for inventory pricing.

The system automatically completes this field with the current date.

Tax Expl Code (tax explanation code) and Tax Rate/Area

If you leave these fields blank, the system updates them with the value from the supplier record when you click OK. A processing option specifies whether the system uses values from the supplier or the ship-to record.

Tax Y/N

Enter a code that indicates whether the item is subject to sales tax when you purchase it. The system calculates tax on the item only if the supplier is also taxable.

If you order an item, the system uses the value in the Purchasing Taxable (Y/N) field in the F4102 table. You can override the value for each detail line. The value must be Y for the system to calculate taxes on the voucher.
