Alternate Tax Rate/Area Assignment Functionality in Purchase Order Detail Lines

When you enable the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality for the company of the transaction, the system updates the tax rate/area on the Order Detail form in this manner:

  • Retrieves the alternate tax/rate area specified in the header, if you do not enter a tax rate/area for a detail line.

    When you update header information to the detail, the system retrieves the appropriate tax rate/area if you copy to the detail line only the Ship To field. If you copy both the Ship To and Tax Rate/Area fields, then the system copies the existing values and does not change the tax rate/area.

  • Changes the value in the Tax Rate/Area to blank when you change the branch/plant and the new value is associated with a different company. The system then retrieves the appropriate new tax rate/area for the changed value. The system also changes the tax rate/area to blank and retrieves the appropriate new value when you change the Ship To field.

  • Does not update the Tax Rate/Area field for changes in the Branch/Plant or Ship To fields if you manually change the Tax Rate/Area value.
