Procedure to determine the classification scheme code

  1. Determine the appropriate scheme code defined in the Classification Parameters (tccls0100m000) session or theClassification Parameters by Country (tccls0101m000) session.

    Infor LN uses this search sequence to determine the scheme code:

    1. Infor LN checks if classification scheme is implemented in the Classification Parameters (tccls0100m000) session. Else, the HS code linked to the item is considered.
    2. Infor LN checks if the country specific parameters are defined in the Classification Parameters by Country (tccls0101m000) session.
      1. The country for which the parameters are defined is considered as the tax country. LN always considers these parameters defined at the country level (the tax country of the transaction).
      2. The tax date is used to search and retrieve the scheme code effective for the transaction.
      3. Infor LN uses a mapping priority to determine the scheme code. For the given combination, the transaction record with lowest priority number has the highest priority. If matching code is not found in lowest priorities, next priority must be considered. This search must be repeated for all the priorities.
      4. If the scheme code is identified, the search process is considered complete. If scheme code is not found, the search must be repeated without specifying the country (global).
  2. Search for code based on attributes.

    Infor LN searches the scheme code based on the attributes of the transaction.

    1. If the item is available for a transaction:
      1. Infor LN checks if VAT is based on the value that is mapped to the scheme base using these methods:
        1. If the scheme base is related to goods, the scheme code can vary based on the business partner of the transaction (both sales and purchase). In such a case, Infor LN checks for a special scheme code based on the business partner (sold to, ship to, buy from or ship from). The combination of the Country, Classification scheme, Scheme base and the Business Partner Role, is used to determine the scheme code for the Item.
        2. If the scheme code is not found using the above method, the search is performed at the item level. Infor LN uses the combination of the Country, Classification scheme, and the Scheme base, to determine the required scheme code for the item.
        3. If the scheme code is not found using the above method and if the Use Item HS Code as Default (Goods) is selected in the Classification Parameters (tccls0100m000) session, the HS code linked to the item in the Item (tcibd0501m100) session is considered.
      2. If the Scheme Base field is set to Services in the classification scheme sessions, the search process must be based on the combination of the Country, Classification scheme, and the Scheme base to determine the scheme code of the item. If the scheme code is not found using this step and if the Use Item HS Code as Default (Services) is selected in the Classification Parameters (tccls0100m000) session, the HS code linked to the item is considered.
    2. If the Item is not available on the transaction, the search must be based on these non-item related attributes. Infor LN searches the scheme code based on the order origin of the transaction. The remaining attributes are related to Service, Project, Freight, Intercompany Trade, Landed cost and Financials. Attributes for each of these origins are different. Hence, apart from the combination of the Country, Classification scheme and Scheme base, Origin must be also considered to determine the scheme code. When the attributes are shared across different companies, the business object company is not considered. For Financials, the company for financial origins must be considered.
    Note: There is no impact on transactions till billable lines are created. Scheme base, Scheme, Scheme code is determined during billable line creating using above logic. However, user can modify the same if the user has authorizations to modify the tax code. Scheme and scheme code are mandatory for all billable lines if the Use Classification Scheme check box is selected in the Classification Parameters (tccls0100m000).
