Introduction

An operator has the ability to see an Orgs preferred taxation method, which can be either Tax Category or Item Level. You can view how ADM should be handling the taxation for your Org and its locations. The purpose of this document is to show you how to view the tax rates and tax structure for the different locations in your Org.

The Item Level tax method is available on ADM, in addition to the traditional Tax Category method. The Item Level tax method allows you to set flat tax amounts for products instead of using the rate mapping system.

How to view taxes in ADM

Viewing taxes under Global Product Change

Using the Global Product Change feature, you can change tax rates on multiple products at once.

1. Sign into ADM.
   
   
2. Click the Product tab.
   
   
   
3. Click Global Product Change from the drop-down menu.
   
   
4. Click on several locations from the Locations column in the Global Product Change screen.
   
   
5. Click Apply at the end of the list. A list of products from the selected locations will display.
   
   
6. Click on the products whose tax rate you want to change.

You will see the following five blank fields if the tax method is set to Tax Category:

If the tax level is set to Item Level, you will also see these additional blank fields:

Tabs

The Product, Tax Mapping and Deposit Mapping tabs all show various tax and deposit information. You can only see the Tax Mapping and Deposit Mapping tabs if you are using the Tax Category tax method. If you are using the Item Level Tax method, these two tabs will not be visible.

Product tab

The following steps will show you how to view your taxes whether you are using the Item Level or Tax Category tax method. The columns in the table pull in tax and deposit data from the tax method. You can choose which columns you want to see in the table.
