Hello,

we are a mid sized manufacturing company located in Michigan and I am wondering how you handle sales and use tax on purchases that are taxable? I know there is a check box when creating a PO to mark it taxable but that doesn’t really seem to cause anything to happen in the system. Just wondering if there is a way in Epicor to have the system either calculate or truly notify if a purchase needs to be considered taxable. Thank you!

Try this…...Company Configuration /Modules/All Modules/Taxes/Detail, there is a section for purchase orders in which you can check the box for PO being taxable

I believe the tax calculation require a couple of items to properly work.

One is the configuration within the Company Configuration as per @chopkins 

On the Supplier, there are a Tax Liability and a Tax Authority field.  The Tax Authority field has to be populated with a definition for the %’age of tax to calculate.  Most of the time, taxes are calculated based on the Supplier/Vendor set-up.

Hope this helps.

There is also an integration from Avalara and they will handle the tax calculations for you as well as exemptions and filings.  Might be worth the look.
