Understanding Taxability Rules Is Key To Sales Tax Compliance

Crossroads RMC 0 32935 Article rating: 5.0

Product taxability may seem straightforward because there are generally only two options: taxable or exempt. Yet that seemingly simple contrast fails to truly capture the inherent complexity of sales tax compliance. In fact, it’s a multistep process that starts with determining where a business has sales tax nexus. Knowing whether the products or services one sells are taxable or exempt is critical to the compliance process, from start to finish.

The good news is that you don’t have to be a tax expert, nor do you need to stay up on the latest tax rules and regulations in each state or country where you do business. Avalara handles all of this for you and Crossroads RMC provides the integration to Infor LN, Infor LX, Baan, and BPCS to make staying compliant a no-brainer.

Infor LX & BPCS Finance Tip: Items without costs, CST101D

George Moroses 0 29756 Article rating: 5.0

This program generates an uncosted items listing for the specified facility and cost set. You can use this report as an exception listing to identify those items that are currently maintained at zero cost or new items that require entry prior to cost rollup in Cost Set Rollup, CST500.

If a facility-specific component cost does not exist for a parent being rolled up, zero cost is rolled up for the component. When a new parent item is being rolled up for the first time, the audit report for Cost Rollup, CST500, displays a warning wherever a component cost is zero. Rolling up the parent cost again does not display a message for zero component costs.

Infor LN & Baan: What are your production orders telling you?

Kathy Barthelt 0 31487 Article rating: 5.0

Measure what you want to improve.

Six simple words, but put together they convey a powerful concept that can transform manufacturing companies. It’s a basic concept that’s hard to argue with: Collect data, see where the data leads you, and make changes that have a positive impact on the data. Repeat often.

If your company is manufacturing a product, you’re more than likely creating manufacturing variances. These variances tell managers where the company is not performing to the standards that were created and agreed to by those responsible in the Engineering, Finance, or Production Departments. There is almost a 100% chance you are creating either favorable or unfavorable manufacturing variances and, quite frankly, none of the variances will ever be favorable because the company is either over-costing or under-costing the production parts.

The data is all there within your ERP system… or at least it should be… provided that you are not tracking production information outside of your ERP system in a spreadsheet.

Analyzing your production orders can help you track down:

Manufacturing vs. Operations vs. Finance: Who WINS?

Infor LX | BPCS | Infor LN | Baan

Manufacturing Goals: develop high-quality products and services in response to the demands of the market, improve efficiency and maximize capacity utilization.

Operations Goals: utilize resources, labor, material, and equipment effectively in order to match supply and demand.

Finance Goals: analyze revenue growth opportunities, control costs, and maximize profitability.

So, who WINS?

Production Order - Click to EnlargeWhose priorities take precedence when it comes down to it and what happens when the demands seem to compete? The answer to that question may be simpler than you think. Quite often, production, operations, and finance are operating based on their own sets of data which have been created within their respective group to serve the needs of the group alone. Finance likely does not have access to production or operations reports and production and operations hardly ever have access to financial reports. But why? What if all departments operated based on the same data, viewed in the same way? Would it not be easier to understand where the priorities should be and how the ship should be steered?

Production Order - Click to EnlargeDashboards provide real-time visualization of data through graphs, tables, and other visualization techniques. Through the use of dashboards, the complexity of large volumes of data gets stripped away and instead gets presented through manageable, digestible chunks of information so companies can focus their attention on the areas of the business that need it most. The dashboards then serve as a common ground for further dialogue and present information to everyone in a way that is mutually understandable.

Although the data represented in dashboards can be gathered through multiple reports and sometimes multiple reporting systems, consolidating the data into one unified source provides a highly effective tool to generate actionable insight.
