Chapter 8. Point of Sale (POS)
SALES—3. SALES TAX
Sales tax is added automatically on the back page of a POS transaction. It is
posted to the appropriate G/L accounts. A number is assigned to correspond with
each type of sales tax you may have and that number is entered for each customer
in the Customer Master File (CM1.D). For example:
1 = Retail 6.25% State Sales Tax
2 = Resale 0%
3 = Government 0%
You can have up to 999 different tax codes depending on your state and local laws.
There are other features of tax codes that need to set up.
