Calculate Tax
Order Entry lets you specify on individual shipments whether taxes should be calculated automatically by Order Entry or entered manually.
If you want the program to calculate tax automatically for the invoice, select the Calculate Tax option.
If you do not select the Calculate Tax check box:
-
You can enter tax amounts for the tax authorities listed for the shipment.
-
Order Entry displays a Distribute Taxes button.
Click the Distribute Taxes button to prorate the tax that you enter manually on the Taxes tab to the document details.
Note: You cannot prorate a tax amount to an authority that uses an exempt tax class.
If the shipment is job-related and you select the Project Invoicing option, all tax calculation is automatic. You cannot change the Calculate Tax option.
