Classifying TAR Accounts as Domestic or Foreign

You can set newly created TAR accounts to be calculated as Domestic or Foreign. The following custom attributes are created in the Account and Jurisdiction dimensions to differentiate between Foreign and Domestic Entities:

  • TAR_Domestic

  • TAR_Foreign

When a new member is created under the TRCS_TARF Account hierarchy:

  • If you need to calculate specifically for Domestic regions, the "TAR_Domestic" UDA must be attached to the created account member.

  • If none of the attributes are attached, the newly created member is applicable to both Domestic and Foreign entities.

During consolidation of an Entity, based on the Jurisdiction to which it belongs, and the Classification as Domestic or Foreign, only those TARF_Accounts values are pulled. For example, if you are consolidating a Domestic POV, but you haven’t assigned any TAR accounts as Domestic, after consolidation, the TAR form will not show any values in the new accounts.
