Data setup and activation

This chapter describes the process to set up the data and activate the parameters for Extended Tax Configuration. Activation is a set of processes that must be performed to implement the extended tax configuration functionality in Infor LN. Activation process consist of a Preparatory stage and an Activation stage. The progress of the activation process is indicated using various status.

During the Preparatory stage, you must define or modify the master data and set the parameters. The Activation stage involves launching the process to build the data based on the setup process completed in the Preparatory stage.

The Extended Tax Configuration functionality is classified into concepts and activation activities.

A concept is a specific functionality. A concept consists of multiple activation activities. An activation activity is a step that you must complete to activate a concept, for example, setting parameters in a specific session. When all activation activities of a concept are completed, you can activate the concept.

You can use the Concept Activation (tcemm4600m100) session to activate the extended tax configuration functionality for all financial companies defined in the Companies (tcemm1170m000) session.

Extended tax configuration status must be set using the Concept Activation (tcemm4600m000) session. Infor LN synchronizes the status of the extended tax configuration across all companies with the defined tax parameter data.

When the status is set to In preparation in the Concept Activation (tcemm4600m000) session, Infor LN allows for an upgrade from the old tax handling system to the new tax handling system.

This is possible for a specific financial company of a multi-financial company environment. The master data related to goods and service category using item as an attribute, can be used for the upgrade of the old tax handling data where the item is specified. In case, the goods and service category data is not available or cannot be mapped, the particular upgrade will be skipped.

When setting the status of extended tax configuration parameter to Active in the Concept Activation (tcemm4600m000) session, Infor LN must check if new tax handling session has defaults set for countries defined in the old tax handling session for every financial company. If defaults are not set, you can activate the extended tax configuration functionality.
