Understanding Customer Constants for Taiwan

You set up customer constants to supply the system with information to use when creating GUIs for that customer. Customer constants include information such as the customer's uniform number, the GUI format code to use, zero tax rate information, tax exemption information and e-GUI mode.

You use the GUI/VAT Customer Constants program (P75T009) to add customer constant information for Taiwan. When you use the Customer Master Information program (P03013) to add a customer, and the value in the Localization County Code field in the User Profile Revisions program (P0092) is set to TW (Taiwan), the system launches the GUI/VAT Customer Constants program when you click OK on the Customer Master Revisions form. You can also access the GUI/VAT Customer Constants program by using the Regional Info option in the Customer Master Information program or by using a menu option.

You can assign category codes to customers to classify sales according to the type of customer. Assigning category codes to customers enables you to use data selection to report on transactions according to the type of customer.

The system saves the data that you enter in the GUI/VAT Customer Constants program to the GUI/VAT Customer Constants table (F75T009).

You can enter information for customers one at a time, or you can import a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that contains information for several customers.

Note: You use the GUI/VAT Document Type Format Code Setup program (P75T011) to specify the document type and format code to use for the transaction entry programs that you use. If a conflict exists between the document type and format code that you set up in the GUI/VAT Document Type Format Code Setup program and the document type and format code that you specify for a customer using the GUI/VAT Customer Constants program, the system uses the values that exist in the GUI/VAT Customer Constants program.
