Calculate Tax on a Billing with Header Level Posting (HLP)

With HLP enabled, a Tax Group needs to be selected for each Billing Line. A default Tax Group can also be added to a Product to automatically populate the Billing Line. For more information, refer to the Set up AS Native Tax article.

Note: Under HLP, a Product is not required on the Billing Line for tax calculation. 

1. Navigate to Accounting Home and click the Create Entries tab. Then, under the Revenues menu, click Billings.
2. Display a Billing record. 
3. Select a Billing Line and click Edit. Otherwise, click New to add a new line. 
   Note: You can also click Mass Add/Edit Rows to search for and select a Tax Group for each Billing Line. Then, click Save & Refresh, Save & Complete, Save & Post, or Save & New to calculate the Tax Amount.
4. Scroll down the page to the Accounting Information.
5. In the Tax Group field, click the Lookup icon to search for and select a Tax Group.

Calculate Tax on a Billing with Line Level Posting (LLP)

Note: When a Product on a Billing Line is not set up to be taxable, an error message will display to indicate that there is no taxable Product associated with a Billing Line. Additionally, when there are no Products on any Billing Lines and the Calc Tax button is clicked, an error message will display to indicate that no Billing Lines were found with an associated Product.

1. Create a Billing and add Billing Lines.
2. Click Calc Tax. The intermediate screen displays.
3. Click Calc Tax again. 
   Note: A new Billing Line will be automatically added for each Tax Rate assigned to the Customer account. Each tax line will be the sum of the Tax Rate times the Line Amount across all taxable lines. For example, if the Billing had one Billable Line for $100 and the customer account was set up for Illinois State Sales Tax (7%), Cook County Sales Tax (1%), and Chicago Sales Tax (3%), Billing would have four lines:
   • One Billing Line with the taxable product for $100
   • One sales tax line for the Illinois State Sales Tax for $7
   • One sales tax line for the Cook County Sales Tax for $1
   • One sales tax line for the Chicago Sales Tax for $3.
