Alternate Tax Rate/Area Assignment in the Shipment/Load Charges Revision Program

The alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality enables you to use an alternate tax rate/area when the entities involved in a transaction are in the European Union. The Shipment/Load Charges Revision program uses this hierarchy to determine whether to retrieve the alternate tax rate/area assignment:

1. Route.

   If the route has a tax rate/area associated with it, the program always retrieves that tax rate/area.

2. Alternate tax rate/area.

   If no tax rate/area is associated with the route, then the program determines whether the alternate tax/rate area assignment is set up for the company associated with the depot, and whether a tax rate/area definition is set up for the countries of the branch/plant and carrier entities.

   See "Setting Up Alternate Tax Rate/Area Assignment Functionality" and "Transportation Management" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Tax Processing Implementation Guide.

3. Carrier.

   If the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality is not set up or validations fail and the tax rate/area definition is set up to return an error message, then the system uses the tax rate/area associated with the carrier.
