U.S. taxes have been configured for the US company code in the IDES System only.

• Tax jurisdiction codes have been set up for every state in the United States.
• The tax jurisdiction codes have been broken down by state, county, and city.

Every cost center, plant, and customer record is assigned a tax jurisdiction code. This tax jurisdiction code automatically appears as a default value during transaction processing.

A tax indicator has been set for every customer and every material in the IDES System. This means that taxes are calculated automatically. If something comes up with a taxable indicator and you do not want the R/3 System to calculate taxes, you can always manually overwrite the indicator with a non-taxable indicator.

If you want taxes to be processed from your own data, see the following instructions:

• When you create a customer, make sure that you assign a tax jurisdiction code that is appropriate for the state where the customer is located.
• If you create a customer and plan to post SD transactions, make sure that you enter 1 as the tax indicator to indicate that the customer is taxable.
• When you create a material, make sure that you enter 1 as the tax indicator to indicate that the material is taxable.
• When you create a cost center, internal order, or project, make sure that you assign it a tax jurisdiction code.
• If you create your own plant, make sure that you link a tax jurisdiction code to it.
