Introduction: Environmental Tax/Fee Maintenance (02-18-12)

Overview

This selection is used to set up and maintain the Environmental Tax/Fee Table, which is used to assign an environmental fee to a tax code and product type.

An environmental fee is a fee that is added to the sale of an item. Whether or not the fee is charged to an item depends on:

• the tax code of the branch the item is sold at
• the product type of the item

When an item that meets the above criteria is sold in POS Entry, an environmental fee item line is automatically added by the system to the transaction. The dollar amount of the fee is set up in this selection, and it can be either a fixed amount or a percentage of the item’s selling price.

In addition to the fee amount, the fee tables in this selection are used to define the tax codes and product types for which the environmental fee is charged.

Setup Requirements

Before an environmental fee can be charged, you must set up an Environmental Fee Item Number in Inventory Inq/Maint. (03-01). You can choose the item number and description for this item, but it must have a Non Sale / Non Inventory product type and the product type’s department must be non-taxable. The item cannot be flagged as a serial number item and cannot pay a spiff. Also, no prices should be set up for this item.
