Using Spreadsheets for Tax Transaction Entry

Depending on the type of tax transactions you're entering, use one of the taxable transaction spreadsheets or the Tax Entry Repository Data Upload spreadsheet to upload your tax transaction data.

These spreadsheets let you enter simple taxable journals to high volume transactions from external applications containing customers, suppliers, and other tax attributes for tax calculation.

Using spreadsheet-based entry options and existing tax configuration, you can calculate, account, and centrally report transactions taxes for tax on journals and transactions that are created in proprietary applications that are not from Oracle.

Taxable Transaction Spreadsheets

Use the taxable transaction spreadsheets online or offline to enter taxable journal and taxable transaction data. You can enter transaction data for simple tax on journals to complex rule-based tax calculation. These ADF Desktop Integration spreadsheets provide some online validation and are intended for lower volume transaction entry.

Taxable transaction spreadsheets can be used for the following event classes:

  • Purchase journal

  • Purchase transaction

  • Sales journal

  • Sales transaction

The following table lists the event class and the journal category for the journal created for each of the event classes in the spreadsheet:

These spreadsheets are used to create taxable journals or transactions in Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, for transactions from external applications, and contain customer, supplier, and other tax attributes for tax calculation.

The list of values for these fields allows you to select a particular account code combination, improves the user experience, and reduces the possibility of making errors.
