Geographic tables

Geographic name table

Use a Geographic Name table if you are passing zip codes along with city, county, and district names to the system, and the spellings of the jurisdictional names within your system don't match the spellings carried in the system. Also, you can use this table if your system uses numerical references or alpha abbreviation for state designations that don't match the ones used by the United States Postal Service.
By creating this cross-reference table, you can create import files that cross-reference your internal jurisdictional codes or names to the abbreviations or spellings found in the the system rate database without having to change your internal spellings.
note
  • Each record in the table requires an entry in Alternate Name, a selection from the State field and Tax Level, and a selection from the Authority field.
  • A unique alternate name can be assigned only once within a selected state within a selected tax level.
  • Multiple alternate names can be assigned to the same authority.

With this table, you can cross-reference your internal place codes to tax areas found in our rate database. By creating this cross-reference table, you can create balance import files without having to change your method of identifying tax areas.
note
  • Each record in the table requires an entry in the Place Code field and a selection from the Region, County, City, and District fields
  • You can assign a Place Code in a table only once.
