Dear EDI-List Server
> The item for discussion with active EDI users is the 832
> implementation solution for communicating a product's Tax Rate information
> such as PST which vary by Province.
>
> Within our existing 832 we can use the SAC (allowance and charge
> segment) in conjunction with a G43 (geographical location ) within a CTP
> (pricing loop).
> The problem is that in alot of cases the price is the same across
> provinces or groups of provinces (regions) and it is only the tax% that
> changes.
> The current implementation requires that the Vendor generate a
> separate CTP loop for every Provincial Tax Code even if the price is in
> fact the same.
> This is we think an impractical implementatioin for Vendors and
> Retailers although this is the way the Canadian Profile was structured.
>
> Q . Are Provincial Taxes usually viewed as an attribute of an item
> or an attribute of Pricing
> Q. When people think of Provincial Taxes and how they are defined in
> other documents do they use the TX1 (tax information) segment or the
> SAC(allowance and charge)
>
> Suggestions for changes include:
> Introducing a TX1 segment within the LIN loop - X12 4010
> already has this - we would bring into VICS
> A change to the SAC segment to include a Province Code - you
> could then have multiple SACs for a specific tax and the province would be
> specified right on the SAC. I think this would be an X12
> Change
