SM-F  Enter Tax Groups

Purpose of Program

Use this program to create tax group combinations of the different tax codes that were created in SM-E  Enter Tax Codes. The tax group determines the total tax that will be charged to each customer or by each vendor.

A tax group can consist of just one tax code, if only one tax code applies to particular customers or vendors.

Customers are assigned to tax groups via AR-A  Enter Customers and vendors are assigned to tax groups via AP-A  Enter Vendors.

If you plan on processing taxes on purchase order transactions, be sure and set the Track PO taxes using tax groups? prompt to Y in SD-C  Purchase Orders Defaults. This is not the case in the United States.
