Re: Sales tax on freight -- BPCS-L

Dennis,

The way some BPCS customers implement this functionality with very little effort is by creating a special charge (via an Item Class) called Freight. This special charge will them be added to the customer order as a special line and you plug in the amount. For tax purposes, this will be treated as any other line on the order and the appropriate taxes calculated.

Depending on your printing needs this may or may not be suitable to you. Something against this approach (again, depending on how you see it) may be the fact that the "special line" will be printed along with the other lines on the invoice and not necessarily on a specific place on the invoice.

I hope this helps.

Regards, Jose J. Torres

Been live 5+ years & all of a sudden we find that sales tax on freight is
not being charged.  Looked in the archive & found a thread from Feb, 2001 &
that was it.  Any other thoughts other than those mentioned in that thread?
The State Tax Auditor is looking for an answer & it looks like a program change is in order. A program in OLM is creating a record that gets written to the SIL but some how they are not calculating sales tax - if it applies. Anybody know which program I should look at?

Thanks - Dennis.
