Sales tax hierarchy

If managing BY ENTERPRISE, FASuite uses the following hierarchy to apply sales tax:

• If the tax is not set up to compute automatically for part receipts, the tax rate is set to 0.

• If the tax is not set up to compute automatically by vendor, the system sales tax rate is used.

• Note: The vendor sales tax rate only applies to STOCK PART, NON-STOCK PART, and EXTERNAL REBUILD line items.

• If the tax is set to compute by vendor and a tax rate is defined for the vendor location, the sales tax rate for the vendor and location combination is used.

• Note: The vendor sales tax rate only applies to STOCK PART, NON-STOCK PART, and EXTERNAL REBUILD line items.

• If the tax is set to compute by vendor but a tax rate has not been defined for the vendor location, the vendor primary sales tax rate is used.

If managing either CENTRALLY or BY LOCATION, FASuite uses the following hierarchy to apply sales tax:

• If the tax is not set up to compute automatically by vendor, the system sales tax rate is used.

• If the tax is set to compute by vendor and a tax rate is defined for the vendor location, the sales tax rate for the vendor and location combination is used.

• Note: The vendor sales tax rate only applies to STOCK PART, NON-STOCK PART, and EXTERNAL REBUILD line items.

• If the tax is set to compute by vendor but a tax rate has not been defined for the vendor location, the vendor primary sales tax rate is used.

Sales tax settings are specified on the Currency/Sales Tax Setup tab of the Data -> Setup -> Options screen. The tax rate for a vendor location is defined on the Locations tab of the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Vendors -> Primary Information screen. A vendor's sales tax rate is specified in the Sales tax rate field on the Basic Info tab of the Data -> Setup -> Organization Structure -> Vendors -> Primary Information screen.
