Manage the Complexity of Tax Compliance

Insights from our partner Avalara

Crossroads RMC 0 2589 Article rating: 5.0

Sales tax compliance becomes more complex as businesses grow. Expanding into new markets, adding locations, selling online, or integrating systems after an acquisition can quickly introduce new tax obligations.

Many organizations find manual tax processes difficult to manage and scale. Automation can simplify compliance, improve accuracy, and reduce the risk of costly penalties.

When Compliance Gets Complicated

Changes such as the following often create new tax requirements:

• Upgrading or changing ERP systems
• Mergers or acquisitions requiring system integration
• Adding locations or warehouses
• Expanding into e-commerce
• Managing remote employees
• Selling at trade shows across multiple states

Businesses may also struggle with large transaction volumes, exempt products or customers, audit exposure, and tax obligations in complicated states.

Why Avalara & Crossroads RMC

Avalara automates tax registration, calculation, filing, and document management, helping businesses maintain compliance as they grow.

Crossroads RMC integrates Avalara directly with Infor ERP environments, enabling automated tax calculations and reporting within existing ERP workflows.

Avalara supports more than 41,000 businesses and government organizations in over 75 countries, helping organizations manage complex tax requirements while focusing on growth.

Note: The Blocked Operations (tisfc0540m000) session displays the blocked operations.

Introduction

Sometimes a problem occurs that must be solved before an operation proceeds. Examples of such situations are:

  • The quality of an intermediate product must first be inspected.
  • A machine is in repair.
  • A supplier cannot deliver an essential component in time.
  • A customer is late with its payments.

In these situations the operation can get the operation status Blocked.

An operation can be blocked:

  • Manually.
  • Automatically by Quality.

Blocking reasons

Every blocked operation must have a blocking reason. The blocking reason of a blocked operation has two purposes:

  • To indicate why the operation is blocked.
  • To determine which actions you can no longer perform on the operation.

Types of blocking

The following actions can be blocked by means of a blocking reason:

  • Reporting a quantity completed.
  • Reporting a quantity rejected.
  • Reporting a quantity to be inspected.
  • Reporting an operation completed.

You normally carry out these actions in the Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) session.

You can define blocking reasons in the Blocking Reasons (tisfc2100m000) session.

Manual blocking

Use the Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) session to block an operation. When you block an operation, you must also enter a blocking reason. If Quality has already blocked the operation, you can only enter a blocking reason, which is more restrictive than the blocking reason of Quality.
