Tax Amount
If you selected the option, Calculate Tax, the program displays the amount of tax that is due for each authority.
For each authority, Order Entry calculates a sales tax amount if:
-
The customer is subject to tax.
-
The order contains taxable items or taxable miscellaneous charges.
-
Tax rates are specified for the tax authorities and classes in Tax Services.
If you do not select the Calculate Tax option (checkbox), the Distribute Taxes button becomes available, and you can enter tax amounts for the tax authorities listed for the shipment.
Click the Distribute Taxes button to prorate the tax you enter manually to the document details. Note that you cannot prorate a tax amount to an authority that uses an exempt tax class.
Note: If you are entering taxes manually, ensure that the amounts you enter in the tax amount fields agree with the sum of the tax amounts for the details, for each tax authority.
