Each Sales Tax Rate record stores a tax rate that may be applied to an order, depending on how the order's characteristics match the values specified. See "Managing the Sales Tax " on page 25 for Infrastructure for information on how Aptify selects an applicable Sales Tax Rate and calculates sales tax.

The Comments tab contains any comments relevant to the Sales Tax Rate record.

General Tab

Name

The name of the Sales Tax Rate record.

Display Name

The display name of the Sales Tax Rate record.

Tax Jurisdiction

The name of the jurisdiction that charges this sales tax rate.

Rank

The rank for the sales tax rate. The order entry system creates a list of the sales tax rates that apply to a particular order based on the jurisdiction. It processes these rates beginning with the lowest ranked rate and continues through rank order.

Stop Accumulation for Tax Jurisdiction

Select this option if this is the only rate that you want to apply to an order when it matches. When this option is selected, Aptify stops evaluating any other Sales Tax Rates records that may also be applicable for this order within the same jurisdiction.

If an organization has added multiple Sales Tax Rates per jurisdiction, Aptify will evaluate the set of rates for that jurisdiction in rank order. If the Stop Accumulation for Tax Jurisdiction option is cleared for any Sales Tax Rate records in a particular jurisdiction, Aptify will apply all matching rates for that jurisdiction to the order line. However, when the Stop Accumulation for Tax Jurisdiction option is selected, Aptify ignores any remaining rates for that jurisdiction once it has applied this record's rate to the order line.

This option is applicable for situations where a tax jurisdiction charges one rate for food and one rate for all other taxable goods. By using this option in conjunction with Rank, you can determine how the system applies a single rate (from among several matching rates) to an order line. See the discussion in "Specifying Order Lines Filter Rules" on page 25 for an example of how this option is intended to be used. If a jurisdiction has only one applicable rate, this option's setting has no impact on the sales tax calculation.

Order Lines Filter Rule Tab

Apply Order Lines Filter Rule

Select this option to enable filter rules for the Sales Tax Rate record based on an order or order line's criteria. If you create filter rules, the sales tax rate applies only to orders that match the conditions you specify. See "Specifying Order Lines Filter Rules" on page 36 for  for more information on specifying order line filter rules.

Order Shipments Filter Rule Tab

Apply Order Shipments Filter Rule

Select this option to enable filter rules at the order shipment level if a particular tax rate only applies to an order's shipping charges under certain conditions. See "Specifying Order Shipments Filter Rules" on page 41 for  for more information on order shipment filter rules.
