Global option 37. Rounding Of Sales Tax O'ff To Nearest Cent, Always U'p, A'lways Down was added to Billing Control File Maintenance. It allows the rounding of sales tax to the nearest cent, always round sales tax up, or always round sales tax down. In any sort of billing (Invoice Entry, Order Release, Credit Memo Entry, Service Invoicing, Contract Billing), the sales tax used to round off to the nearest cent. If the amount is .5 of a cent or higher, it is rounded up to one cent. For example, a sales tax of 10.256 is rounded up to 10.26. A sales tax of 10.254 is rounded down to 10.25. If this happens on a regular basis, enter O in this field to always round off to the nearest cent. Enter U to always round up. For example, a sales tax of 10.251 is rounded up to 10.26. To always round down, enter D. For example, a sales tax of 10.259 is rounded down to 10.25. This is also for the City Tax amount.
The City Tax Percentage that is written into the Tax Register File (TAX2.DT) was not correct. The tax was calculated correctly, however the percentage when written into that file needed to be multiplied by 100 to have 5 decimal positions instead of 3. For example 2.125 would print on the Tax Register as .02125. This has been corrected in Invoice Entry, Credit Memo Entry, Order Release, and Service Invoicing.
There was a problem with City Tax logic in Invoice Entry, Credit Memo Entry, Order Release, and Service Invoicing. If the item is tax exempt, but a taxable tax code was entered on the item when the invoice is entered, that amount was excluded from the city tax calculation and it was included in non-taxable amount in the AR File (ARECD). This has been corrected to include Tax Exempt items if a taxable tax code is entered.
Three new fields have been added to the Invoice Header file (INVHDRD) , Invoice Line Item File (INVLID), Order Header File (OEHDRD), Order Line Item File (OELID), Sales Analysis File (SALID) and Sales History File (SHHIST.DT). These fields are Branch 2, Branch 1 Percentage, and Sales Rep 1 Percentage.
