How Geography Elements Work in Tax Rules
Geography determination factors allow you to use geography elements in tax rules. A combination of determination factor class, class qualifier, and determining factor represent these determination factors.
Geography Elements in Tax Rules
To set up tax rules based on geography elements, use:
-
Geography as the determining factor class
-
Location type on the transaction as the class qualifier
-
Geography level, such as county, province, or city, as the tax determining factor
You can also use the geography level as a tax rule qualifier.
The tax determining factors for locations are given generic names such as ship to and bill from, depending on the transaction types. The transaction types are:
-
Order-to-cash: For Oracle Fusion Order Management and Oracle Fusion Receivables transactions.
-
Procure-to-pay: For Oracle Fusion Purchasing and Oracle Fusion Payables transactions.
These generic locations are mapped to the specific location, based on the transaction as shown in the following table:
