1. Q: Have Suppliers been trained to adjust sales tax rate for POs with discount rate? For example, Staples POs have 2% discount rate. Vouchers need manually adjust the sales tax rate.

A: No. Departments enter sales tax and payment terms on Purchase Orders, and Suppliers cannot manually adjust the sales tax rate.


2. Q: What happens if a Supplier processes an invoice with an incorrect tax rate?

A: Departments are responsible for entering tax information correctly on POs. The sales tax is driven by the ship-to location and the system will automatically create a use tax for under-reported tax rates.


3. Q: How do we handle discount invoices with sales tax? 

A: Sales tax is the same, discount or not. Sales tax should be entered upstream on the PO. Please note that sales tax is different from payment terms.  If a PO has discount pay term set up, the voucher created would carry the default setting.  If the voucher is paid within the discount pay term, the discount will be taken by the system at time of payment.


4. Q: How will the system recognize accrued sales tax?

A: If the PO is set up as taxable, but the Supplier did not input tax (or put less tax than the system calculated tax) when submitting invoices, the system will automatically accrue the difference.
