Creating a Regional Jurisdiction

Regional jurisdictions categorize the provision for income tax at a federal or country level.

Regional jurisdictions can represent a state, province, territory, or other subdivision. For purposes of deductibility, Regional tax amounts can be set up to automatically flow into national calculations. Regional tax provisions can be calculated individually, or in total, by legal entity.

For information about the Jurisdiction dimension, see Jurisdiction Dimension.

To create a regional jurisdiction:

1. From the Home page, select Navigator , and then Dimensions.
2. From the Dimensions drop-down, select Jurisdiction.
3. Expand TRCS_TotalJurisdiction, then select and expand TRCS_AllRegional.

   Note:

   For every national jurisdiction that has regions, a corresponding <jurisdiction_name>_Regions parent member must be created under TRCS_AllRegions.

   Use the following naming conventions:

   • Parent member of the Region should start with the two letter Domicile code and end with "_Regions". For example, assuming that the US is the domicile (National Jurisdiction), the parent member would be US_Regions.

   • Under the parent member, each member should start with two letter Domicile code followed by underscore ("_") and end with the state name. For example: US_AL

     An example of the Jurisdiction dimension hierarchy is as follows:

   2. Enter the Alias you want to display for the jurisdiction, such as Ontario.
   3. Set Data Storage to Store or Never Share.

      Note:
