Rule Setup – Text Fields¶

Code: Enter the two character postal abbreviation code.

GL Account: Enter a GL account per state if the sales tax liability account should be unique per state.

GL1 Account(Split): Enter a secondary GL account to split the accounting by a percentage between multiple accounts.

GL2 Account(Split): Enter a secondary GL account to split the accounting by a percentage between multiple accounts.

GL3 Account(Split): Enter a secondary GL account to split the accounting by a percentage between multiple accounts.

Def Tax Table: Enter the generic or NONEXUS tax table name that will be used as the default for any new ShipTo records added for that state. This is useful if all customers for this state should get charged using the same table.

Rule Setup – Number Fields¶

GL1 Split %: Enter the percentage to calculate the portion that posts to GL1.

GL2 Split %: Enter the percentage to calculate the portion that posts to GL2.

Rule Setup – Logic Fields¶

NEXUS: Indicating a state as NEXUS forces you to select a valid zip-code based tax table for each Ship To added in that state.

Use Tax:

Skip Import: States marked as skip import will not download new/updated tax table details during the sales tax import, and should shorten the update process.
