Transportation Management

You can set up the company, the branch/plant, and ship-to entities to use the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality.

This table lists the programs in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system that use the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality.

Program

Comments

Shipment Confirmation (P4205)

When you run the Shipment Confirmation program and modify the ship-to or branch/plant value, the system checks whether the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality is enabled for the entities. If the functionality is enabled, the system:

  • Checks whether the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality is enabled for the company.

  • Verifies that the VAT registration number (Tax ID) exists for the Branch/Plant and Ship To entities.

  • Retrieves the sales order tax rate/area from the alternate tax rate/area assignment setup based on the Branch/Plant and Ship To country codes.

The Shipment Confirmation form includes a new field for the tax rate area. If you modify a record for which the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality is active, the system updates the tax rate/area. The system also recalculates the taxed unit price if the tax rate/area changes.

Shipment/Load Charges Revision (P4945)

If the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality is enabled, the system retrieves the tax rate/area using this hierarchy:

  1. Route tax rate/area

  2. Alternate tax rate/area

  3. Carrier

The entities used by the Alternative tax area are:

  • Company for the A/P Cost Center

  • County 1, as specified in the A/P Cost Center processing option. If you leave the processing option blank, then the system uses the value from F4215.MCU or F4215.NMCU.

  • Country 2 (carrier number)
