Reviewing Event Class Options

Use the Event Class Options page to review the default tax settings for each application event class. E-Business Tax uses these settings as the basis for determining and calculating taxes on transactions belonging to each event class.

This section describes each of the event class options. By default, the event class option settings of an event class apply to all configuration owners. You can update some of the event class options belonging to an application event class for individual configuration owners. See: Setting Up Configuration Owner Tax Options for more information.

Associated Party Types

The Associated Party Type regions (Parties and Party Sites) are used to determine the party tax profiles to reference for transactions belonging to this event class. These regions display the party types that are associated with first and third parties and party sites for transactions of the event class. At transaction time, the event class application provides the specific parties and party sites that are part of the transaction. E-Business Tax uses this information from the application to retrieve the correct party tax profiles and related tax information.

For example, in transactions belonging to the Oracle Payables Standard Invoices event class, the Ship From and Bill From party is the supplier and the Ship To and Bill To party is the legal establishment involved in the transaction.

Rounding Precedence Hierarchy

The rounding precedence hierarchy indicates the order in which E-Business Tax looks at party tax profiles of parties involved in the transaction for the rounding level and rounding rule to use.

If no party tax profile provides a rounding level, then E-Business Tax uses the event class default rounding level.

If no party tax profile provides a rounding rule, then E-Business Tax uses the tax rounding rule. See: Setting Up Taxes for more information.

Other Tax Options

If this option is set for the Payables event class, you must also set this option on the party tax profile of third parties and third party sites acting as suppliers/supplier sites that are involved in transactions belonging to this event class. See: Setting Up a Third Party Tax Profile for more information.

Allow Entry of Manual Tax Lines. This option determines whether you can enter manual tax lines on transactions, in addition to the automatically calculated tax lines.
