RE: CEA Tax Treatment

[Mark Seaton <maseaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried desperately to get a fix from SSA on what I consider a major fault in 
how they populate the ASD file.  All I got was an enhancement BMR 40495 that we 
will probably never see.  You can look it up in OGS.

Basically what I wanted was for the field SDTXAM to be updated for each 
appropriate line type of the ASD file then I had created configurable macros 
off of this field and specific line types to populate the model.

Unfortunately without this fix I could not come up with any automatic way of 
posting tax.  The users I work with are entering tax amounts on the 
distribution lines in ACP500 and assigning the appropriate tax expense (or CIP) 
account.

Badger Mining went live on 08/01/98 with BPCS version 6.0.02, Client Server.

When we designed our ATP setup last year, three different SSA consultants
agreed that the only way to handle sales taxes in the model for invoice
entry was to charge them to a separate tax account.  Now our accounting
staff has a problem.  Some taxes, like on construction projects, should be
capitalized instead of expensed.  And accounting wants the taxes included
when looking at expenses for certain types of commodities.  Any suggestions?
