Taxes on Orders

In most business environments, you are required to pay taxes on the items you purchase. You can have the system calculate taxes for an order based on the tax information that you enter for the order.

The system provides default values for tax fields based on the master information that you have set up for the supplier. You can use the Purchase Order program (P4310) processing options to specify that the system retrieve the default value for the tax rate area from the master information for the ship-to address.

If you are using the Vertex Sales Tax Q Series system with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software, the system retrieves default GeoCodes to determine the tax rate to apply to the order.

Assuming that an order has more than one item, you can change tax information to accommodate each item or service. Then taxes are applicable for the item or service only if you have specified that the detail line is taxable.
