Automatic Nexus Determination When Selecting Entity
Automatic Nexus Determination When Selecting Entity feature improves the overall performance of your SuiteTax account. Prior to this change, nexus determination and tax engine assignment occurs when you press Save or Preview Tax.
This feature triggers nexus determination when you select an entity. When you select an entity, there is enough information about the Subsidiary (Ship From) and Address (Ship To) to determine the nexus.
For example, when you create a new invoice, you select an entity called Customer. At this moment, NetSuite determines the transaction nexus.
The nexus is also determined when you copy, import, or transform an existing transaction. For instance, when you go to Invoice > Make Copy, a new invoice is created. NetSuite transfers the Customer entity from the copied transaction and determines the nexus.
This feature applies to all methods of transaction creation:
-
Transactions > Create Transaction.
-
Transaction > Memorized Transactions > Create transaction.
-
Copy from an existing transaction.
-
Creation by a direct link (entering the link into browser).
-
Creation by transformation. For example: Invoice > Credit, or Sales Order > Invoice.
-
Creation by script.
Early nexus determination makes it possible for third-party tax calculation bundle providers to adjust their bundle. With this feature, third-party providers can hide or unhide tax fields in their tax calculation bundles.
