      (document date): The date range is based on the document dates.
    note
    • You'll need to perform the D2C merge manually each month; no automated process is currently available.
    • The merge template saves most configuration settings, including place determination options, charts, companies, tax types, and regions.
    • Period details such as interval, start date, and end date are selected by default.
  4. Select the charts and methods for
    Place Code Determination
    .
    • System Defaults
      : Selected by default for place determination, this option lets Sales and Use Compliance to use D2C place codes that have corresponding mappings in Sales and Use Tax Compliance content.
    • Business Location Code
      : Select this option if your business has multiple physical locations with Tax Areas configured in Location Configuration. When selected, the system prioritizes the tax area from the Business Location over the D2C place code.
    • Place Code
      : Select this option if you have created a Place Code chart to override the default tax area mapping for D2C place codes.
    • Default Exemption Type
      : Categorizes exemptions processed without a specific exemption code. Set this to reflect your business's most common exemption (for example,
      RESALE
      for wholesalers,
      CLOTHING
      for clothing retailers, or
      FOOD FOR HOME CONSUMPTION
      for grocers).
    • Entity Codes
      : Use this chart when (1) consolidating multiple Determination companies into a single Compliance entity, or (2) the Entity Code in Compliance doesn’t match the
      Determination ExternalCompanyId
      .
    • Place Codes
      : Use this chart to modify tax area mappings for D2C place codes. This may be necessary to resolve errors from default mappings. It may also be needed to meet specific requirements. For example, you might exclude a geographical district that doesn't apply to your business due to tax incentives or other circumstances.
    • Tax Codes
      : Use this chart to adjust tax code mappings for D2C tax codes. This may resolve errors from default mappings or address specific needs, such as excluding taxes that don’t apply to your business due to geographic settings or tax incentives.
    • Tax Types
      : Use this chart to recategorize tax types from their default mapping. Common scenarios include reclassifying
      SALES as SELLERS USE
      based on nexus, or adjusting tax types for special state reporting requirements where the product or transaction requires different reporting.
    • Exemption Codes
      : Use this chart for custom-defined exempt reason codes in Determination or to recategorize exemption types from their default mapping. This may be necessary for special state reporting requirements where the product or transaction requires different exemption reporting.
    • Default Exemptions
      : Gives mapping default exemption types by state jurisdiction and/or tax type. This provides enhanced control by letting the same D2C code to be reclassified into specific exemption types for each state and adjusted by transaction tax type.
