Understanding Alternate Tax Rate/Area Assignments for the Service Contract Renewal Report

The values that you specify in the Tax Information processing option and the Header Business Unit processing option determine whether the system retrieves the alternate tax rate /area assignment if the functionality is set up for the company of the business unit.

If errors occur during processing, the error or warning message is sent to the Work Center or included in a section of the report, determined by the value in the Work Center or Report processing option.

This table describes how the system determines the tax rate/area to use based on the values in the processing options:
