Understanding System Validations when Using Taxed Prices for Sales Orders

When you enter a sales order in the Sales Order Entry program (P42101), the system completes the following validations to determine whether to use taxed prices for sales orders:

  1. The system accesses the Branch/Plant Constants program (P41001) to verify whether the Sales Taxed Prices constant is selected and, if it is, whether to use the By Ship To or By Sold To constant is selected.

  2. If the Sales Taxed Prices constant is selected, the system accesses the Customer Master program (P03013) to verify whether the customer entered on the sales order is set up to use taxed prices.

  3. If the customer is set up to use taxed prices in the Customer Master program (P03013), then the system selects the Use Taxed Prices check box in the sales order header.

    The system enables this check box only when you enter a new sales order or copy an order. You have the option of changing the status of the Use Taxed Prices check box. After you exit the sales order header form or process the first sales order line, you cannot change the value in the Use Taxed Prices check box.

The system displays different fields depending on whether the Use Taxed Prices check box is selected on the sales order:

  • If the Use Taxed Prices check box in the sales order header is selected, the system displays non-taxed prices, taxed prices, and tax amounts. You can enter values in the Taxed Unit Price and Taxed Extended Price fields only. The system disables the unit price, extended price, unit tax amount, and extended tax amount fields because these values are calculated by the system.

    If a line is not taxable, you can still enter the taxed unit price or the taxed extended price. The system sets the current prices to their taxed equivalents and the unit tax amount and extended tax amount values are zero.

  • If the Use Taxed Prices check box in the sales order header is not selected, the system displays only the non-taxed prices. You can enter the unit price and extended price. The system does not display, calculate, or store taxed prices and tax amounts.
