About Tax Free Imported Materials
Some countries require manufacturers to track the inventory
movement of tax-free imported materials that are used to build products that, when
completed, are shipped back to the country of origin. The system allows you to track
inventory as tax-free imported materials. You enable this functionality by selecting the
Track Tax Free Imported
Materials check box on the Inventory
Parameters form.
You can set up tax systems within the system to allow for the exchange of materials without import tax, duties, or VAT on materials that are tracked as tax-free imported materials.
Note: Selecting Track Tax Free Imported Materials does not change how the
system calculates taxes on these items. You must set up your tax systems
appropriately.
