Entering Tax Information for a Detail Line

Access the Order Detail form.

Taxable

Enter a code that indicates whether the item is subject to sales tax when you purchase it. The system calculates tax on the item only if the supplier is also taxable.

Expl Code (explanation code)

Enter a value from hard-coded UDC 00/EX that controls the algorithm that the system uses to calculate tax and general ledger distribution amounts. The system uses the tax explanation code with the tax rate area and tax rules to determine how the tax is calculated. Each transaction pay item can be defined with a different tax explanation code.

Rate/Area

Enter a code that identifies a tax or geographic area that has common tax rates and tax authorities. The system validates the code you enter against the F4008 table. The system uses the tax rate area with the tax explanation code and tax rules to calculate tax and general ledger distribution amounts when you create an invoice or voucher.
