Rule For

The tax calculation logic is broken down into a set of predefined “Rule For’s”.

Each Rule for is associated to Rule ids for each transaction type. Rule for/Rule Id combinations are mapped to tax type/tax community combinations.

One Rule ID must not be mapped to more than one Rule for.

Rule ids for a predefined ‘rule for’, transaction type are defined for the tax type, tax communities applicable for the company.

Enter the following fields in the “Rule Details ” multiline:

Rule Id.	The pre defined Rule ID to identify the applicable tax parameters for a Tax Type & Tax Community.
Transaction Mode	Transaction mode refers to the mode of transaction, for example, create or edit. If Rule Id is entered mode must be entered. If tax type and tax community is predefined, transaction mode cannot be modified for any rule.

Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline to select the mapping.
Click the “Map Details” pushbutton to map the entered details.

On clicking the “Map Details” pushbutton the system checks that the tax type/tax community combination is not pre-defined, and that there is no repetition in the mapping. The system also ensures that one “Rule Id” is not mapped to more than one “Rule For”. The mapping is saved, and the screen refreshes with the saved details.
