Improved tax model

In Infor LN SP1, the set up and defaulting of tax data is not always sufficient or handled correctly.

In Infor LN FP2, the tax model has changed completely. Most sessions for the setup and execution of tax registration and declaration are stored in the Taxation module of the Common package. For details, refer to Overview of tax handling.

As a result of this improved tax model, the tax defaulting logic has changed completely. In the Tax Parameters (tctax0100m000) session, you can specify how LN determines the tax code, the tax country, and the business partner's tax country of taxable transactions.

If, for example, a sales order is created and all logistic data is entered, such as the warehouse, the ship-to address, the invoice-to address, tax related data is defaulted to the order. If the logistic data changes, the tax data is defaulted again.

For example, if for one order several shipments must be executed on different moments in time, the terms of delivery and point of title passage might differ per shipment and therefore per line. If one line is delivered later than the others, it must be possible to use a different carrier with a different term of delivery and point of title passage. To enable this, the terms of delivery and the point of title passage must be available on order line and order line detail level.
