Solar Eclipse uses zip codes to determine tax rates for customers as well as delivery route information. A customer is normally taxed in the jurisdiction where they gain ownership of a product. Tax jurisdictions are assigned to zip codes.
For each zip code in which your company does business, assign a tax jurisdiction code and default ship via route information. Your installer helps you use the Mass Load program to do this.
You can also enter:
A default tax geocode linked to a reduced tax rate, if you use theNational Sales Tax Databasecompanion product.
An override tax jurisdiction code for a branch.
An override tax jurisdiction code for additional city or special district taxes.
A default ship via that the system assigns to an order, based on the zip code of the customer, if there is no ship via defined for the terminal where the order is taken.
A default time for the first truck delivery stop in this zip code. The person in charge of manifests uses this time to schedule delivery stops.
Ship via route types available for the order.
Before you use the Zip Code Maintenance window, you must set the ZIP.CODE.ENTRY authorization key.
Note: Use the CUST.TAX.VIEW authorization key to allow users view-only access to the tax information in Customer Maintenance.
