Configuration

AV_INTL_TAXPROVIDER

Sabrix INTL Tax Data

This parameter sets the Determination company used to look up zones when using the Address Validation servlet to look up non-US addresses. This can be any company set up in Determination, including both custom data provider and tax data provider companies. If this parameter is not configured, lookup is performed using INTL Tax Data.

AV_PARTIAL_MATCH_STATES

Null (Off)

US territories and US armed forces addresses include "state" codes such as GU and VI (Guam and Virgin Islands) and AE, AP, and AA (US Armed Forces). If this parameter is set, submitting an address containing these codes can result in a successful zone tree match.

Set to Code1, Code2, CodeN to enable validation for those "states." For example, set to AA,AE,AP,GU,VI. The default is null (off).

AV_PLUS_FOUR_ALTERNATES_ENABLED

Null (Off)

Specifies whether the alternate +4 ZIP codes should be included in the return results when no +4 is supplied with a US address, or the supplied +4 is not found.

Set to Y to enable the return of alternate +4s. The default is to not return alternate +4s.

AV_US_TAXPROVIDER

Sabrix US Tax Data

This parameter sets the Determination company used to look up zones when using the Address Validation servlet to look up US addresses. This can be any company set up in Determination, including both custom data provider and tax data provider companies. If this parameter is not configured, lookup is performed using US Tax Data.

COUNTRIES_USING_POSTCODE_LOOKUP_POLICY

Null

(Off)

Set this parameter if you want Determination to evaluate postcodes and cities in countries other than the US. For example, if you are doing transactions in Puerto Rico and use <COUNTRY>PR</COUNTRY>, you would insert PR into this parameter. Note that this value is case-sensitive.

If you want several countries to use this lookup policy, then separate each value with a comma. If you use both two and three character codes for a country, include each separated by a comma.

This parameter uses Determination's default logic for postcodes and cities. For instance, if a city spans multiple counties, and no Zip +4 is provided, Determination selects the default city.

SINGLE_ZONE_ALIAS_ENABLED

Null

(Off)

Set this to the value of Y only if you want to turn off multiple zone alias processing.

AUDIT_ADDRESSES

Y

Set to Y to enable writing of address data to the audit database.

If set to any other value or Null, address data is not stored in audit.

HOST_SYSTEM
CALLING_SYSTEM_NUMBER
UNIQUE_INVOICE_NUMBER

or

MERCHANT_ID
INVOICE_NUM
INVOICE_DATE

There are two settings for AUDIT_KEY_MODE:

• 0 (Zero): This is the same as the system default, which means only the key using HOST_SYSTEM is used.
• 1 (One): The key that uses HOST_SYSTEM is used first, and if a record is not found, then it will search with the key that uses MERCHANT_ID.

This is a global configuration parameter for all companies. You can set this value as a company option on the Options tab of the Companies page.

AUDIT_LICENSES

Null (Off)

Set to Y to enable writing of licenses to the audit database.

If set to any other value or Null (default), licenses are not stored in audit.

AUDIT_MESSAGE_TYPE_<TYPE>

Null (Off)

Set to Y to enable writing of invoice calculation messages of various TYPEs to the audit database.

If set to any other value or Null (default), messages are not stored in audit.

The following parameters can be configured:

AUDIT_SAVE_INPUT_XML

Null (N)

When set to Y, Input XML submitted with a transaction is stored in the Audit Database along with the calculation results. If set to N or left null, Input XML is not saved to the Audit Database.

AUDIT_TRANSEDITOR_ACTIONS

Null (Off)

Set to Y to enable writing of TransEditor actions to the audit database.

If set to any other value or Null (default), TransEditor actions are not stored in audit.

INVOICE_INCLUDE_ALL_MESSAGES

Null (Off)

Default setting is Null (Off) which means that not all messages from invoices are available for audit..

Set to Y to allow auditing of all messages regardless of the company message threshold setting.

For more information, see Messages.

PESSIMISTIC_AUDIT_DATA_SAVE

N (No)

By default, Determination uses an optimistic approach to database insertions: no database records are examined prior to insertions. This is faster than a pessimistic approach (Y), which looks for existing records before making insertions.

SABRIX_MASTER_NODE

Null

In a non-clustered environment only, you must set this parameter to Y to enable ONESOURCE Indirect Tax Monthly Content Updates.

COUNTRIES_USING_POSTCODE_LOOKUP_POLICY

NULL (Off)

Set this parameter if you want Determination to evaluate postcodes and cities in countries other than the US. For example, if you are doing transactions in Puerto Rico and use <COUNTRY>PR</COUNTRY>, you would insert PR into this parameter. Note that this value is case-sensitive.

If you want several countries to use this lookup policy, then separate each value with a comma. If you use both two and three character codes for a country, include each separated by a comma.

This parameter uses Determination's default logic for postcodes and cities. For instance, if a city spans multiple counties, and no Zip +4 is provided, Determination selects the default city.

N

This parameter sets establishment status for those international zones and authorities that have not previously been configured on the Established Authorities pages.

• Set to Y to set default established status to Yes for international locations.
• Set to N (default if not set) to set default established status to No for international locations.
• Neither choice overrides any values configured on the Established Authorities pages.

When new authorities and zones are imported into Determination through Content Updates, they inherit the default set here. You can then modify the establishment status for individual zones and authorities on the Established Authorities Zones pages.

DEFAULT_IS_ESTABLISHED_TRUE_US

Y

This parameter sets establishment status for those US zones and authorities that have not previously been configured on the Established Authorities pages.

• Set to Y(default if not set) to set default established status to yes for US locations.
• Set to N to set default established status to no for US locations.
• Neither choice overrides any values configured on the Established Authorities pages.

When new authorities and zones are imported into Determination through Content Updates, they inherit the default set here. You can then modify the establishment status for individual zones and authorities on the Established Authorities Zones pages.

• Y: (Default) Determination includes custom authorities for evaluation if it finds them above the termination zone.
• N: Determination does not include custom authorities for evaluation if it finds them above the termination zone.

This only works in combination with other settings. For details, see the topic Custom Authorities Associated with Bottom‑up/Terminate Zones.

You can also set this value as a company option on the Options tab of the Companies page.

INCLUDE_US_CUSTOM_
AUTHORITIES_PAST_
TERMINATE_
PROCESSING_ZONES

Opt.

For US custom authorities, this settings tells Determination whether to include custom authorities for consideration in tax calculations if it finds them above the termination zone.

• Y: (Default) Determination includes custom authorities for evaluation if it finds them above the termination zone.
• N: Determination does not include custom authorities for evaluation if it finds them above the termination zone.

This only works in combination with other settings. For details, see the topic Custom Authorities Associated with Bottom‑up/Terminate Zones.

You can also set this value as a company option on the Options tab of the Companies page.

This parameter applies to services exports from India only. Determination performs a currency comparison between the Indian currency code (INR) and the document currency code.

• If the document currency code differs from the code specified by INDIA_CURRENCY_CODE, the transaction is a zero-rated export.
• If the document currency code matches that defined by INDIA_CURRENCY_CODE, the transaction is a taxable export.

This parameter defaults to INR and only needs to be updated if the currency code specified for Indian Rupee changes to something other than INR.

Controls the number of customers that can be assigned to a customer group.

Valid values are between 1 and 250000.

PLACE_OF_SUPPLY_HANDLING

SELLER_COUNTRY

• BUYER_COUNTRY (VAT results for registered Buyers in a different EU member country than the seller)
• BOTH (includes VAT results for buyers and sellers, both of whom are registered EU members)

The configuration parameter sets this value system-wide. You can set this value as a company option on the Options tab of the Companies page. If both company option and configuration parameter are set, the company option takes precedence.

POST_VERSION_511_TAX_TYPES

N

Uses ER or IR (EU Buyer Services reverse charges) tax types implemented after Version 5.1.1. Default uses tax types available in previous releases.

• If set to Y, uses tax types implemented after Version 5.1.1.
• If set to N or blank, uses tax types available in Version 5.1.1 and previous releases.

For more information, see the Tax Calculation XML Elements for invoice or line input or output.

PROCESS_NON_
STANDARD_RATE_
CODES_FOR_CUSTOM_
CASCADING_RULES

Y

Some fees authorities and food and beverage authorities do not use standard rate codes (CU, SU, or ST). In those cases, they use a no-tax rule to prevent tax assessment when not applicable and to prevent application of default state cascading tax rules.

This parameter checks custom cascading rules to determine if the rule being processed is a custom cascading rule or if the authority being processed is a custom authority.

• If set to Y, processing time for calculations is slower.
• If set to N (default), processing time for calculations is improved. This is the preferred setting if you do not need to check the application of cascading rules for those authorities.

To set this behavior for a single company, use the Options tab of the Companies page. The company option overrides the setting of the configuration parameter.

RULE_SELECTION_BY_COMMODITY_CODE

N

This parameter sets the behavior for matching a product code. When a UNSPSC code is passed in a transaction, all custom and standard rules for an authority may be compared to select the closest match to the code in the transaction:

• If set to N (default), the first match is selected.
• If set to Y, all rules are evaluated by product code first and then rule order. Rules are sorted by product code in each list (custom, standard) and all lists are evaluated for the best match rather than stopping at the first match.

For example, the following product codes may be evaluated:

• Rule #1: Order=100;ProdCode=81 (custom)
• Rule #2: Order=5000;ProdCode=811112 (standard)

When the parameter is set to Y, the line item with the product code 81111201 uses Rule #2 because it is a closer match rather than Custom Rule #1.

This parameter sets behavior for all companies. You can set this value as a company option on the Options tab of the Companies page.

SINGLE_ZONE_ALIAS_ENABLED

Null

(Off)

Set this to the value of Y only if you want to turn off multiple zone alias processing.

STRICT_CUSTOMER_LOOKUP

Y

If not present or set to Y, customer lookups are based on the value of the input XML element <CUSTOMER_NUMBER> only (ignoring <CUSTOMER_NAME>).

If set to N, the value of <CUSTOMER NAME> is considered as well. In this case:

• If both elements are present in a transaction, both must match a Determination customer.
• If only one element is present in a transaction, only that element must match a Determination Customer.

TAX_DATE_DEFAULT_MOVEMENT_DATE

N

This configuration parameter specifies the default behavior to be used if date determination logic and rules are not used to specify the Tax Determination Date, Tax Exchange Rate Date, and Tax Point Date.

If set to Y, then Determination would use the first available date from the following list:

1. Original Movement Date
2. Movement Date
3. Original Invoice Date
4. Invoice Date

If set to N or blank, Invoice Date is used to specify these dates in the absence of applicable date determination logic and rules.

US_DEFAULT_COUNTRY

N

Determines the behavior used if a country is not specified within an address. For example, if a transaction includes a ship to address with Washington for the state and 98101 for the zip code, but does not include a value for the country.

If set to Y, Determination will use US (United States) as the country for any addresses where the country element is not specified but other elements are specified.

If set to N, a country must be specified for any addresses where other elements are specified. Otherwise, the transaction will fail.

This parameter applies to all address types:

• Ship From

USE_CALC_GROSS_AMT_
AS_GROSS_AMT_CALC_DIR_R

N

This flag is used in conjunction with reverse-from-tax transactions:

• When set to Y (Yes): This flag directs Determination to populate the line gross amount in the XML output with the unrounded value of calculated gross amount. If you provide a gross amount in the XML input, Determination replaces it with the value of the calculated gross amount, or if you do not provide a gross amount in the XML input, this setting inserts the calculated gross amount into the line gross amount element in the XML output.
  
  
• When set to N (No) or not set: The default behavior of Determination is to return the gross amount you provide in the XML input. If you do not provide a gross amount in the XML input, you do not receive the gross amount element in the XML output.

USE_CALC_GROSS_AMT_
AS_GROSS_AMT_CALC_DIR_T

N

This flag is used in conjunction with reverse-from-total transactions:

• When set to Y (Yes): This flag directs Determination to populate the line gross amount in the XML output with the unrounded value of calculated gross amount. If you provide a gross amount in the XML input, Determination replaces it with the value of the calculated gross amount, or if you do not provide a gross amount in the XML input, this setting inserts the calculated gross amount into the line gross amount element in the XML output.
  
  
• When set to N (No) or not set: The default behavior of Determination is to return the gross amount you provide in the XML input. If you do not provide a gross amount in the XML input, you do not receive the gross amount element in the XML output.

USE_SIMPLE_REGISTRATIONS

N

If set to Y, use the Simple Registration Mask for Authorities instead of the standard Registration Mask for validating Registrations.

ZERO_TAX_RATE_FOR_EXEMPT_CUSTOMER

N

This parameter sets the <TAX_RATE> returned in a transaction that has been exempted due to an exempt customer or certificate.

• If set to N (default): The tax rate on the rule is the result. For example, <TAX_RATE>6.25</TAX_RATE>
• If set to Y: The tax rate is set to zero. For example, <TAX_RATE>0</TAX_RATE>

ZONE_ALIAS_DISABLED
