Used to define tax districts that
your organization is required to collect sales tax for, when shipping orders to
customers located in the tax district.When customers place orders for taxable items, PORTALPRODIGY searches
the Tax table for a match to the State and County that the Customer’s order is
to be shipped to.PORTALPRODIGY contains
a cross referenced table of Zip Codes and Counties.PORTALPRODIGY uses this table to determine
the Customer’s county based on their Ship
To Zip Code.You should create one
record for each State that you are required to collect sales tax for.When creating a State record, leave County
empty.It is only necessary to input tax
rates for Counties that have a different rate than the rate entered into the
State record, because when PORTALPRODIGY does not find the County it will apply
the State rate.
Tax
Rate:used to enter the sales
tax rate to charge customers whose Shipping Address is located in the
specified State and County.
State:select a State from the drop down list
box.Once a State is selected, the
page will refresh to fill the County list box.
County:select a county from the drop down list
box.Leave blank to create rate for
State.
Active:by default this value is set to “Yes”,
which means the record is active and available for use.To deactivate a record, set it to
“No”.Deactivating a record is a
logical form of deletion.It is
used to remove the record from future use, yet maintain the relationship
with existing data.Reports by
default only include active records; however, there is a reporting option
that allows inclusion of deactivated records.
