Alternate Tax Rate/Area Assignment Functionality in the Purchase Order Workbench Program

You can work with the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality when you work in the Purchase Order Workbench program. If the company of the transaction is set up to use the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality, then on the Purchase Order Workbench form, the system:

  • Retrieves the alternate tax rate/area when the business unit that you enter in the Branch/Plant field corresponds to a company for which you have set up the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality, and the ship-to and supplier specified are also set up to use the functionality. If the company of the branch/plant is not set up to use the alternate tax rate/area assignment functionality, then the system retrieves the default value.

  • Updates the value in the Tax Rate/Area field if you change the Ship To value. If you leave the Ship To field blank and then click OK, the system retrieves the ship to value from the branch/plant setup.

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

Note that in this application, you cannot change the supplier.
