Thanks for the giving such a detailed setup for E Tax. We are planning to upgrade from Oracle 11.5.9 to R12. Should we have to re-implement E-Tax or does Oracle give us a direct upgarde path for tax?

No, Oracle has seamless upgarde process.

Hi!
we have follow the steps but we have the following problem:
Default Tax Rate cannot be overridden on invoice lines.

I'm working in R 12.0.4. I have created two tax rates one as VAT16% and other as VAT7%. I have set VAT16% as default
rate, Now at the time of entering invoice lines , i want to select tax rate
other then dafault rate which is VAT16%. the system allows me to select VAT7%
from TAX CLASSIFICATION CODE LOV but it calcuates tax as per defult rate.
i have enabled the option:
1. 'Allow Override of Calculated Tax Line' option in the 'Defaults and Controls' > 'Configuration Owner Tax Options'. for payables.


2. 'Allow Override of Calculated Tax Lines' option in 'Tax Configuration' > 'Tax'. This has been set to checked.

3. 'Allow Tax Rate Override' option in 'Tax Configuration' > 'Tax Statuses'. This has been set to checked.

Also system profile options have been set as follows:
eBTax: Allow Override of Tax Classification Code = Yes
eBTax: Allow Manual Tax Lines = Yes


Any ideas?

Bose,

This is a great explanation of setting up Regime to Rate flow. I have one small clarificaiton, in US Sales tax scenario how do you achieve tax accounting state wise using EBTAX?

Krishanu Bose said...

I have not explored e-Biz tax for US environment. However, in the e-tax implementation guide i find there is a mention of US Sales Tax setup.

Hi,

Thanks for giving such a good & detailed explanation of EBS Tax R12.

I am trying to test this setup. When I am in the sales order lines, after choosing the item# and the quantity, i proceed to entering a tax classification code (TESTRATE1). When I tab out of the fields to get ready to save, I notice that the tax is not applied to the sales orders.

Am I doing something wrong?

P.S. - I am assuming no setup has to be done on the customer/item levels.

Hi Krishanu,
I have a question related to the tax calculation on an AP invoice. I would really appreciate if you could help me out on it.

For the supplier of employee-type, while creating an AP Invoice of standard type, there is no Bill_From location that gets passed to the tax engine.

Is this the standard functionality? If no, what address should be passed as the bill_from location; home address of employee or the Assignment Location?


Thanks,

JP

Hi Krish,

in the Create Tax Jurisdiction form how do I get a Geography Name to appear in the LOV that is not currently there.

Not sure if this is related but I have looked in HZ_GEOGRAPHIES table and see the City Name (geography_use = MASTER_REF) but I do not see one for TAX.

Thanks

Hi Krishnu,

We have followed all setup steps as you suggested, unfortunately we canot save Tax setup if we enable

"Make Tax Available for Transactions" check box.

i am getting following errors.

Define either a default tax formula or a tax rule for the rule type: Determine Taxable Basis.
Allow Primary Recovery R... - You cannot select Allow Primary Recovery Rate Determination Rules unless you define a tax rule for the Determine Recovery Rate rule type for this tax.
Allow Secondary Recovery... - You cannot select Allow Secondary Recovery Rate Determination Rules unless you define a tax rule for the Determine Recovery Rate rule type for this tax.
Default Primary Recovery Rate Code - Please enter a default primary recovery rate code.


Please suggest me what other setup steps i need to follow to complete this setup

If you find the solution please mail me "prasanthbab@gmail.com".

Hi Kishani,

Thanks for the doc. I get an error related to tax code when I change schedule ship date in an order line or cancel an order line. The error is
"Error: The system cannot find tax rate information for Tax regime: NL VAT, Tax: NL VAT,
Tax status: NL DOMESTIC AR , Tax rate code: NL_OT_EX_DGOODS and Tax Jurisdiction code: NULL. Please contact your tax manager."

Could you please suggest what could be wrong? Any SQL to check the setups? Thanks in advance.

hi ,

In E-Business taxes it is possible to change already defined configuration owner.? while we are creating the taxes.

if its possible how it is..?

Anonymous said...

I have followed all the steps and have set up a tax jurisdiction, but even when it is assigned, I get the error stating I haven't assigned a tax jurisdiction to my tax when I try to make it available for transactions. Is there some magic fix for this that I am just not aware of? I really really hate tax setups.

Anonymous said...

I have to say that your document, when followed completely, works beautifully! I went back and started over and followed your setup steps. I was able to make the tax available for transactions. Whoo Hoo!

Thanks.

Hi Krishnu,

I have followed all the steps suggested in the above document.
But when I enter a transaction(eg.AP invoice) tax does not get calcualted.I clicked on Tax details and tried to enter Tax manually, but I am not able to select any value in the Rate Name field. I am able to select value for all other fields-Tax regime code, Tax, Jurisdiction, Tax status.
Make tax avaialble for transaction check box is checked for the tax.
Thanks

In addition to my yesterdays post...
Tax calcualation is working fine for OM and AR. It is only in AP and PO Tax is not being calculated.
I tested this in Tax simulator for AP and it is working fine there.

Hi,
I am implementing E Business Tax and i came across an issue while enabling it for Inter Expense. In our screenshots, I can see that there is a option to check the box to enable for "Internet Expense" but in my E Biz Tax page I cannot see any option for this.
I did not enable the tax rate in Global Configuration level. Is it the reason for this to not show up ?

Please help me out with this.

Thanks,
Tanvir
