Sage 100

Alan,

I did discuss with engineering.  First of all Courtesy taxes are not supported in Sage 100 which I think we knew.  However, since this seems to be coming up more often I was asked to create 2 defects.  One is to get the Spa/Clad global group to consider supporting courtesy or tax reciprocity.  The second defect is to allow the Additional Percentage field to use a negative as we discussed.  I'm sure we could do the latter to Sage 100 a lot quicker than we can get the global team to determine and design the courtesy tax.  If the negative Additional % is approved it will still need to go thru testing before it will be released and although it seems a simple change, I do not know what other things this might be a risk to.  I don't think the severity would demand a hotfix but I could probably get a Pre-release if the customer will sign a document before the next release in June.  It will not make the March release of PR 2.20.1.0 as the cutoff is long past.  I can ask if the pre-release would be given out if you want to wait until I find that out.

Thank you,

Linda

Alan,

I will check with Engineering on the status of this so I get the updated status.

I know courtesy taxes are not supported in the SPA and I don't think they have any plans to do so.

I think they were researching the workaround to change the % to allow negative in employee maintenance. That we can do on the Sage 100 side.

Thanks,

Linda

@Nancy Hanson  - this one is for you.  We could set up a negative local override amount to reduce the secondary city (columbus) to the appropriate percentage withholding.  like 2% (from tax engine) to 1% using a negative 1% overrirde.  this would put the right amount on the paycheck and accumulate the correct actual amount in the local tax buckets.

Alan,

I was just updated on the tax issue for the above case.   Since this is for courtesy taxes and isn't supported in the SPA, we are going to implement the negative % suggestion.  That is the only thing that we can do at this point. Do you want us to proceed with that?   

My guess is that the courtesy taxes will never be supported or if they are it will take many years, if ever.

Thank you,
