Alternate Tax Rate/Area Assignments in Extra Purchase Orders
You can have the system assign alternate tax rate/areas in the Extra Purchase Orders program if you set up the system to do so.
If you enable the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality for the company, the system uses the lot and the supplier as the entities for which you set up the alternate tax rate/areas. When you enter or modify the Lot or Supplier fields on the After Start Purchasing Maintenance form, the system retrieves the alternate tax rate/area for taxable items. If an error occurs, the system displays error or warning messages according to the error handling that you set up when you enable the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality. The system assigns the tax rate/area in the header area to the detail lines.
You cannot change detail lines in the Lot Start Workfile Revision form. However, if you add detail lines, the system retrieves the alternate tax/rate area for the new line if the item is taxable and no errors occur.
