Alternate Tax Rate/Area Assignment Functionality in Ship and Debit Claims

The alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality enables you to use an alternate tax rate/area when the country of the branch/plant and the country of the supplier are European Union countries. To enable the alternate tax rate/area functionality, you enable a constant and set up alternate tax rate/area definitions. See "Setting Up Alternate Tax Rate/Area Assignment Functionality" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Tax Processing Implementation Guide.

You can have the system assign the alternate tax rate/area when you create vouchers for the ship and debit claims if the item is taxable and:

• You set up the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality.

  When you set up the alternate tax rate/area definitions, you specify whether to have the system generate no message, a warning message, or an error message if validations fail. The error handling that you set up determines whether the system assigns the alternate tax rate/area to the vouchers you create from the Ship and Debit Claims program.

• You set the Apply Tax to Voucher processing option in the Ship and Debit Claim program (P4576) to apply tax.

If the alternate tax rate/area assignment company constant is enabled, the system:

• Assigns the alternate tax rate/area for the voucher if no errors exist.

• Assigns the tax rate/area associated with the supplier if the system generates a warning message.

• Does not create the voucher if an error exists.

If the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality is not enabled, the system assigns the tax rate/area associated with the supplier when you generate a voucher from the Ship and Debit Claim program.
