TaxType to TaxCode

All previous "TaxType" is renamed to "TaxCode".

Tax Entity

  • Tax Entity is a new class that is required for Tax related entities and transactions.
  • Tax Entity can be assigned to debtor and creditor.
  • In some cases document cannot be saved, if Tax Entity is not pre-defined in debtor/creditor.
  • Each debtor/creditor can be assigned with one Tax Entity.
  • Tax Entity can be assigned to branches of debtor and creditor.
Each debtor/creditor is allowed to have more than one Tax Entity under Branches.
  • Each of the Branches of a debtor/creditor can have its own Tax Entity respectively.
  • While the TIN of the Tax Entity is allowed to be the same, TaxBranchID must be different.
The keys for a Tax Entity are TIN and TaxBranchID.
When a debtor has more than one TIN or Branch Code, suggest adding branch to the debtor. And assign each branch with its own Tax Entity.

Assign the value of debtor and the branch in the document. Avoid assign value to the Tax Entity in the document of AR/AP, sales and purchases.
