Alternate Tax Rate/Area Assignment Functionality in Work Order Mass Updates
The alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality enables you to use a specific tax rate/area when the entities involved in the transaction are in the European Union (EU). For work orders, the entities for which you can set up the alternate tax rate/area definitions are the company of the site and the company of the business unit.
When you set up your system to use the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionally, you set up these components:
Alternate tax rate/area assignment company constant.
If you enable the constant for a company, you also specify whether the system sets an error or warning message or displays no message when the tax ID or an alternate tax rate/area definition does not exist for the entities involved in a transaction. To use the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality for work orders, you enable the functionality for the company associated with the business unit.
Alternate tax rate/area definition.
The alternate tax rate/area definitions enable you to set up different tax rate/areas based on the country of the site number and the country of the business unit.
You can use the work order mass update process to change the business unit or site of work orders. If you update work orders with a new business unit or site, the system retrieves the alternate tax rate/area if these conditions apply:
The company of the business unit has the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality enabled.
The combination of the business unit and site have an alternate tax rate/area definition set up.
The companies associated with the business unit and site must be in the EU.
No errors occur.
An invalid tax ID or incomplete setup will cause an error.
If a company is not in the EU, or an error occurs and the company constant is set to allow processing when an error occurs, then the system retrieves the tax rate/area associated with the site. If the company constant is set up to prevent processing when an error occurs, then the system skips the work order and writes the error message to the work order mass update report and to the Work Center.
