The idea of providing a common VATTBLE for the MAPICS community has crossed my mind from time-to-time. Unfortunately, common maintenance would only work if MAPICS customers standardized their tax suffix and tax indicator usage. Standardizing would require one time updates to the Item Master, Customer Master, Special Charges, and possibly the Vendor Master. Given the size of this task, I believe that most MAPICS customers would prefer to live with manual VATTBLE maintenance.
