What are the biggest struggles manufacturers face with regard to tax compliance?

  • Tracking thousands of SKU numbers that cross taxability rules or vary in taxability based on state
  • Getting the rates right and filing the reports correctly
  • Surviving an audit (which in this business is inevitable)
  • Keeping track of all the smaller jurisdictions and their special districts
  • Ensuring a seamless process that is audit-able
  • Figuring out what is taxable and what isn’t
  • Tracking use tax

As with other manufacturing processes, having a repeatable, consistent process with sales and use tax compliance means automation. Automating sales and use tax compliance with a solution that ensures that consistent, accurate process means a solution that delivers:

  • Accurate sales and use tax calculations for collections that take into account product taxability, location, rules and regulations.
  • An exemption certificate management process that enables digital collection and storage of exemption certificates as well as transaction association and timely renewals.
  • Flow-through returns processing that provides a liability worksheet for review for each return filed, empowering your company to have oversight and visibility to all your sales and use tax liabilities and remittance.
  • Best practices in managing your sales and use tax processes and easy access to all data in case of an audit.
  • Up-to-date sales and use tax rates and information.

Using an automated solution for sales and use tax compliance helps manufacturers and distributors stay up-to-date with the latest changes in sales and use tax information. Consistency, repeatability, and accuracy help to reduce audit risk and potential negative assessments. Critical features to look for in an automated solution:

  • Easy integration with your back-end financial applications and/or inventory management software.
  • Ecommerce integration capability.
  • Geospatial technology to ensure “to the rooftop” level accuracy for locations.
  • Accuracy and speed.
  • Accessibility of information—anywhere, anytime.

Enterprise General Ledger (EGL) provides audit attributes to track journal entry changes and approvals.

To implement this enhancement, you can request and apply MR 81026.

This enhancement provides audit attributes for the last maintained user, date, time, and approval user, and date, and time on the Financial Journal Entry and Financial Journal Entry Lines. This audit function provides visibility to who and when the journal was last maintained and to who and when the journal was approved.

The programs or areas impacted include:

  • Financial Event
  • Financial Journal Entry
  • Financial Journal Entry Line
  • Financial Journal Entry Detail Line
  • Post Multiple Events

Did you know CLD provides you with the following benefits?

â–ª You can journalize and post-transaction data from any third-party application or Infor LX subsystem to the Configurable Ledger (CLD).

â–ª You can generate multiple journal entries across different charts of accounts, ledgers, and books within the CLD from one transaction line.

â–ª You can automatically post transaction amounts across different books using an appropriate exchange rate between the batch transaction currency and target book currency.

â–ª You can use validation reports to identify validation errors within the files that contain batch transaction data and then you can make any necessary corrections before resubmission.

â–ª You can use standard CEA grouping and summarization options for journals created during Batch Transaction Processing.

â–ª You can interface GLD journal entries into CEA for the BPCD version of Infor LX. This allows data to be interfaced into CEA without changing the way data is processed through Infor LX subsystems.
