Do Not Use Database Tools to Modify Oracle Applications Data

Oracle STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that you never use SQL*Plus, Oracle Data
Browser, database triggers, or any other tool to modify Oracle Applications data unless
otherwise instructed.
Oracle provides powerful tools you can use to create, store, change, retrieve, and
maintain information in an Oracle database. But if you use Oracle tools such as
SQL*Plus to modify Oracle Applications data, you risk destroying the integrity of your
data and you lose the ability to audit changes to your data.
xvii
Because Oracle Applications tables are interrelated, any change you make using an
Oracle Applications form can update many tables at once. But when you modify Oracle
Applications data using anything other than Oracle Applications, you may change a
row in one table without making corresponding changes in related tables. If your tables
get out of synchronization with each other, you risk retrieving erroneous information
and you risk unpredictable results throughout Oracle Applications.
When you use Oracle Applications to modify your data, Oracle Applications
automatically checks that your changes are valid. Oracle Applications also keeps track
of who changes information. If you enter information into database tables using
database tools, you may store invalid information. You also lose the ability to track who
has changed your information because SQL*Plus and other database tools do not keep a
record of changes.

8.
Set up tax accounts.
9.
Turn on address validation.
10. Set up jurisdiction codes and other optional fields (optional).

11. Verify the tax service provider implementation.
Step 1 Run the Installation Driver Script

The installation driver script (UNIX Shell script for UNIX-based systems) unzips the tax
service provider software zip file, installs the database server-side software, and
integrates tax service provider software with E-Business Tax. After a successful
installation of Release 12, run the driver script at the command prompt as follows:
cd $ZX_TOP/bin
zxtxptnr.sh <parameter1> <parameter2> <parameter3> <parameter4>
<parameter5> <parameter6>
This table contains parameters passed to the driver script:

The parameters in this table are required and must be passed in the order listed. An
example driver script run command based on this table for Vertex is (note that Taxware
has an additional parameter):
$ZX_TOP/bin/zxtxptnr.sh vertex system vertex USER_DATA TEMP
Other relevant information for the driver script includes:
Location of the driver script: $ZX_TOP/bin.
Location of the execution log file: $APPLTMP.
Name of the execution log file: zxtxptnr.log.
Step 2 Set Profile Options

Set the relevant profile options for your tax service provider. See: Setting Profile Option
Values, Oracle E-Business Tax Implementation Guide.
Step 3 Set Up Lookup Code Tax Exemption Reason

When storing tax exemptions in E-Business Tax, use the Lookups window to set up the
Tax Exemption Reason lookup code. The lookup type for this lookup code is
ZX_EXEMPTION_REASON. These reason codes are used by tax service providers to
determine the exemption reason. The reason codes are restricted in the number of
characters that are used by a provider. See: Setting Up Lookup Codes, Oracle E-Business
Tax Implementation Guide.
Important: Vertex exemption reasons are restricted to one
alphanumeric character. Define Vertex exemption reasons so that the

first character of the Exemption Reason Name is unique.
Important: Taxware exemption reasons are restricted to two
alphanumeric characters. Define Taxware exemption reasons so that

the first two characters of the Exemption Reason Name are unique.
Step 4 Set Up Provider-Specific Tax Regime and Taxes

To implement a tax service provider, you need to create a tax regime and taxes. You
typically create three taxes: state, county, and city. See: United States Sales and Use Tax,
Oracle E-Business Tax Implementation Guide.
Step 5 Set Up Service Subscriptions

After creating a tax regime, create service subscription for your operating unit or legal
entity to the tax regime you just created for your tax service provider. If your
installation uses multiple organizations for United States, you may use a tax service
provider only for some specific operating units or legal entities. See: Setting Up Service
Subscriptions, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide.
Step 6 Install Client-Side Tax Service Provider Software

Install all necessary client-side tax service provider software. Refer to the user guides of
your tax service provider.
Step 7 Load Tax Jurisdictions and Rates

Obtain and load the tax jurisdictions and rates from your tax service provider. Load this
data into both the tax service provider system and E-Business Tax.
Step 8 Set Up Tax Accounts

Define tax accounts in E-Business Tax. If you define separate tax liability accounts for
each ship-to state, it is easier for you to reconcile total tax amounts for each state in
General Ledger with tax service provider reports. See: Setting Up Tax Accounts, Oracle
E-Business Tax User Guide.
Step 9 Turn on Address Validation

Ensure that address validation is turned on before creating customer addresses. See:
Real-Time Address Validation, Oracle Trading Community Architecture User Guide.
Step 10 Set Up Jurisdiction Codes and Other Optional Fields

You can optionally implement descriptive flexfields and use the standard fields
available in Oracle Receivables windows to extend the basic functionality of this
integration. Use the Warehouse Jurisdiction Code, Salesperson Jurisdiction Code, and
Customer Addresses Jurisdiction Code to support tax calculations using Ship To, Ship
From, Point of Order Origin, and Point of Order Acceptance addresses.
You can set up tax exemptions and product tax exceptions in E-Business Tax. See:
Setting Up Tax Exemptions, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide and Setting Up Tax
Exceptions, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more information.
You can set an option in the User Defined Receivables Activity Information descriptive
flexfield to indicate whether you want to post adjustment information to the tax service
provider audit table.
Step 11 Verify the Tax Service Provider Implementation

Perform these steps to verify that your tax service provider is successfully integrated:
1.
Create customer addresses.

Verify that the customer addresses are validated against the loaded geography
data.
2.
Create a sales order.

Verify that the estimated tax is calculated using the tax service.
3.
Import a sales order with AutoInvoice.

Verify that tax is calculated using the tax service provider on invoices imported
from Oracle Order Management or other feeder systems.
4.
Create an invoice using the Receivables Transaction Workbench.

Verify that tax is calculated using the tax service provider on manual invoices
created in Oracle Receivables.
5.
Update or delete an invoice line.

When you update or delete an invoice line, tax amounts should reconcile to your
tax service provider tax reports.
6.
Credit an invoice.
When you create credit memos, tax amounts should reconcile to your tax service
provider tax reports.
7.
Copy an invoice.
Verify that tax is calculated using the tax service provider on the copied invoice.
8.
Create an exempt order.

Verify that Oracle Receivables exemptions are used in calculating tax with the tax
service provider.
9.
Adjust an invoice.
Verify that tax adjustments reconcile with your service provider tax reports. Only
approved adjustments of type Tax are reflected in your provider tax reports, which
lets you control which write-offs have recoverable sales tax from the state, county,
and city.
Setup for Non-Prepackaged Tax Service Provider Integration

Complete these steps in the order shown to implement a tax service provider product:
1.
Install database server-side software.
2.
Provide grants to the APPS schema.
3.
Recreate synonyms.
4.
Set profile options.
5.
Set up lookup code tax exemption reason.
6.
Set up provider-specific tax regime and taxes.
7.
Set up service subscriptions.
8.
Create index on Vertex audit file.
9.
Install client-side tax service provider software.
10. Load tax jurisdictions and rates.

11. Set up tax accounts.
12. Turn on address validation.
13. Setup jurisdiction codes and other optional fields (optional).
14. Verify the tax service provider implementation.
Step 1 Install Database Server-Side Software

Install the latest Oracle-certified version of your tax service provider product.
Provider-specific database objects should all be created in a separate schema.
Step 2 Provide Grants to the APPS Schema

Once a service provider software is installed, give the following grants to the APPS
schema in order to execute the service provider APIs:
Vertex
CONNECT <Vertex schema>/<Vertex password>
GRANT ALL ON QSU TO <APPS Schema>
WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT ALL ON GEO TO <APPS Schema>
WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT ALL ON REGPRERETURNSTBL TO <APPS Schema>
WITH GRANT OPTION;
Taxware
CONNECT <Taxware schema>/<Taxware password>
GRANT ALL ON TAXPKG_GEN TO <APPS Schema>
WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT ALL ON TAXPKG_10 TO <APPS Schema>
WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT DELETE ON TAXAUDIT_HEADER to <APPS Schema>;
GRANT DELETE ON TAXAUDIT_DETAIL to <APPS Schema>;
GRANT DELETE ON TAXAUDIT_TAX to <APPS Schema>;
GRANT DELETE ON TAXAUDIT_JURIS to <APPS Schema>;
Step 3 Recreate Synonyms

Once the packages are installed, you must recreate the following synonyms to point to
the correct service provider packages:
Vertex
CONNECT <APPS_Schema>/<APPS_Password>
DROP SYNONYM ZX_TAX_VERTEX_QSU;
DROP SYNONYM ZX_TAX_VERTEX_GEO;
DROP SYNONYM ZX_TAX_VERTEX_AUDIT;
CREATE SYNONM ZX_TAX_VERTEX_QSU FOR <Vertex Schema>.QSU;
CREATE SYNONM ZX_TAX_VERTEX_GEO FOR <Vertex Schema>.GEO;
CREATE SYNONM ZX_TAX_VERTEX_AUDIT FOR <Vertex Schema>.REGPRERETURNSTBL;
Taxware
CONNECT <apps schema>/<apps password>

DROP SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_010;
DROP SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_GEN;
DROP SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_AUDIT_HEADER;
DROP SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_AUDIT_DETAIL;
DROP SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_AUDIT_JURIS;
DROP SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_AUDIT_TAX;
CREATE SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_010 FOR <Taxware Schema>.TAXPKG_10;
CREATE SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_GEN FOR <Taxware Schema>.TAXPKG_GEN;
CREATE SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_AUDIT_HEADER FOR <Taxware
Schema>.TAXAUDIT_HEADER;
CREATE SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_AUDIT_DETAIL FOR <Taxware
Schema>.TAXAUDIT_DETAIL;
CREATE SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_AUDIT_JURIS FOR <Taxware
Schema>.TAXAUDIT_JURIS;
CREATE SYNONYM ZX_TAX_TAXWARE_AUDIT_TAX FOR <Taxware
Schema>.TAXAUDIT_TAX;
Step 4 to Step 7
See: Step 2 to Step 5 in the Setup Checklist for PrePackaged Tax Service Provider
Integration, page 2-1 for details of these setup steps.
Step 8 Create Index on Vertex Audit Table (Vertex only)

During the rollback phase of AutoInvoice, the program deletes invalid transactions
from the Oracle Receivables interface tables. You need to create an index for the
TRANSUSERAREA column in the REGPRERETURNSTBL Vertex table so that Vertex
can identify the invoices to delete much more quickly.
To create this index:
1.
Login to SQLPLUS in the Vertex Schema.
2.
Enter the following SQL command:

CREATE INDEX <INDEX_NAME> ON
REGPRERETURNSTBL (TRANSUSERAREA);
where <INDEX_NAME> is unique within the Vertex schema.
Step 9 to Step 14
See: Step 6 to Step 11 in the Setup Checklist for PrePackaged Tax Service Provider
Integration, page 2-1 for details of these setup steps.

Business Processes
Transaction Options in Oracle Receivables

If you have integrated with a tax service provider, these actions are not required for
Receivables transactions:
Entering tax classification codes on transaction lines.
Entering transaction line attributes in the Additional Tax Determining Factors

window.
Working with Service Provider Tax Jurisdiction Codes

Service providers may use their own tax jurisdiction code to identify a taxing
jurisdiction. A service provider jurisdiction code is typically needed when the zip code
of an address does not uniquely identify the exact taxing jurisdiction. For example, the
same city and zip code may have two or more different taxing jurisdictions in different
geographical areas within the same zip code. For such zip codes, you should enter the
service provider tax jurisdiction codes when you enter your customer addresses.
See: Address Formatting, Oracle Trading Community Architecture User Guide for
information about entering customer addresses.
Vertex
Vertex uses the term geocode for tax jurisdiction codes. The geocode is an internal code
that is understood by the Vertex integration. The geocode is a nine-digit numeric code
that is composed of a two-digit state code, followed by a three-digit county code,
followed by a four-digit code to identify a tax jurisdiction within a city. For example:
12-345-6789.
The Vertex integration uses the Vertex GeoCoder API to retrieve the geocode for a
ship-to customer address, if a geocode is not available on the customer address and
cannot be retrieved from the E-Business Tax jurisdiction setup. If the GeoCoder API
Business Processes 3-1
cannot find a geocode, an error is raised.
Taxware
The Taxware jurisdiction code is a nine-digit alphanumeric code. It is composed of the
two-character state code, the five-digit zip code, and a unique two-digit numeric code.
For example, the code CA9411401 is composed of the state code CA for California, the
zip code 94114, and the Taxware jurisdiction code 01.
The Taxware integration retrieves the jurisdiction code either from the customer
address or the E-Business Tax jurisdiction setup. If a jurisdiction code is not found, then
00 is passed as the jurisdiction code to the tax calculation API.
Monthly Procedures
Each month tax service providers send an updated version of their data file. You need
to upload the data file into both the tax service provider system and the E-Business Tax
system. This will ensure that E-Business Tax has the latest information for address
validation and tax jurisdiction code/geocode retrieval during tax calculation.
E-Business US Sales and Use Tax Import Program

Use the E-Business US Sales and Use Tax Import Program to upload US sales and use
tax updates from your tax service provider. The E-Business US Sales and Use Tax
Import Program imports tax content for US sales tax rates at various jurisdiction levels.
For example, at the state, county, city, and zip code or zip code range levels. The
program also supports the import of incremental tax content.
The system loads the data into the TCA Geography model and into all related
E-Business Tax entities, including taxes, tax statuses, tax rates, tax jurisdictions, and
accounts. The data the system loads into the TCA Geography model includes master
geography data, such as state, county, city, zip or postal code, and their relationships
and hierarchy. The system also creates the geography identifiers for alternate city
names apart from the geography types and geography nodes.
To upload US sales and use tax data:
1.
Copy the data file from your external service provider (Taxware, LP A First Data
Company or Vertex, Inc.) to a Linux or UNIX directory.
Note: E-Business Tax loads the data file into the interface table as
part of the Request Set, so you do not need to load the data file
manually.
2.
Navigate to the Schedule Request Set page.
3.
In the Request Set Name field, select E-Business US Sales and Use Tax Import Program.
4.
Select the E-Business Tax Content Upload File Load Program radio button.
5.
Enter the directory where you have placed the data file and the file name (for
example, /home/user/zx/filename.dat).
6.
In the Tax Content Source field, select:
7.
1 - Vertex, Inc.
2 - Taxware, LP A First Data Company
In the Tax Content Source Tax Regime Code field, select the tax regime code to
which the data should be imported.
Note: The data loaded can be shared by other tax regimes. The
E-Business US Sales and Use Tax Import Program does not load
some entities, such as geography, tax zones, and tax jurisdictions,
to specific tax regimes.
8.
Enter the service request schedule parameters.
9.
Submit the request.
Exemption Handling
You can define your customer and product exemptions using a tax service provider,
E-Business Tax, or both. At transaction time, if an applicable E-Business Tax exemption
or non-jurisdiction based tax exception is found, it is passed to the tax service provider
API and applied to the tax calculation. The tax service provider tax repository includes
the exempt tax line for complete audit and reconciliation.
If you decide to build your own logic to pass exemptions to the tax service provider, for
example, by making use of E-Business Tax fiscal classifications, you can write your own
code using PL/SQL. See: Customizable Tax Functions, page 4-1 for information
customizing the exemption and exception values passed by E-Business Tax.
If the Tax Handling field is enabled on an Oracle Order Management or Oracle
Receivables transaction line, you can override the tax service provider setup and
identify a transaction as exempt, according to your tax exemption setup in E-Business
Tax. See: Setting Up Tax Exemptions, Oracle E-Business Tax User Guide for more
information.
Set the eBTax: Allow Override of Customer Exemptions profile option to control the
display of the Tax Handling field. See: Setting Profile Option Values, Oracle E-Business
Tax Implementation Guide.
Reconciliation and Audit Procedures

Tax service providers return the calculated tax lines to E-Business Tax. The tax lines for
Oracle Receivables transactions returned by tax service providers are stored in
E-Business Tax similar to the way tax lines calculated by E-Business Tax itself are
stored.
Due to the limitations of Vertex and Taxware APIs in accepting the transaction line
update details, whenever a user updates a transaction line in Oracle Receivables, two
lines are passed to Vertex or Taxware for tax calculation. For example, if the line
amount is changed from $100 to $200, because of either quantity or price change, the tax
service provider API is called for a transaction line with line amount as -$100 and
another line with line amount as $200. The taxes for transaction line of line amount
-$100 back out the original tax amounts calculated for the original line amount of $100.
Only approved adjustments of type Tax are synchronized with the tax service
providers. This gives you greater control over which adjustments should reduce the
sales tax liability. If you have adjustments of type Tax that you do not want to post to
the tax service provider repository, see: Using Flexfields and Fields in Other
Applications, page 4-22 for more information.
Before completing your tax returns using the tax service provider reports, you should
reconcile the total tax amounts held in E-Business Tax, Oracle General Ledger, and a tax
service provider repository. All Oracle Receivables transactions get stored in the tax
service provider repository at the time of tax calculation. Thus, the tax details in
E-Business Tax and in a tax service provider repository are always the same. The Oracle
Receivables transactions are posted to General Ledger only when they are completed
and posted to General Ledger from the Subledger Accounting application. Therefore,
before reconciliation with General Ledger, all transactions must be completed and
posted to the General Ledger.
You can reconcile the total tax amounts of Oracle Receivables transactions by state to
Oracle General Ledger. The total tax amounts by state reported by the Tax
Reconciliation Report should reconcile to each state tax liability account held in Oracle
General Ledger.
Reconcile total tax amounts by state to the tax service provider repository by running
the Vertex Sales Tax Register or Taxware Sales/Use Tax report.
The tax service providers and Oracle Receivables use different terms when referring to
the tax calculation date and the accounting date for transactions. This table summarizes
these terminology differences:
Value
Oracle Receivables
Vertex Q-Series
Taxware SUTS
Accounting Date

Support Procedures
Begin with E-Business Tax debug messages to review issues that arise with tax
calculation by tax service providers. The debug log contains all the input and output
parameters sent and received to and from a tax service provider. The tax service
provider returned messages are printed in the debug log after this E-Business Tax
introductory message:
An error has occurred in the tax service provider API. Please review the following messages and
contact tax service provider support for further action.
This guide does not describe the process of the installation required by tax service
providers, reports provided by tax service providers, or upgrades to newer releases.
You should refer to the tax service provider's manuals and documents and contact tax
service provider support for details.

Technical Reference
Available Parameters
The tax service providers tax calculation APIs get the input from the view
ZX_O2C_CALC_TXN_INPUT_V. For the list of available attributes refer to the view
description in the Oracle E-Business Suite Electronic Technical Reference Manual.
Customizable Tax Functions

Tax service providers require some attributes that do not exist as standard columns in
the E-Business Suite tables or can be mapped to an attribute out of two or more
potential attribute in E-Business Suite. To achieve this, view
ZX_O2C_CALC_TXN_INPUT_V has some extra columns. There are tax functions that
populate the values of these extra columns in the tables ZX_PRVDR_HDR_EXTNS_GT
and ZX_PRVDR_LINE_EXTNS_GT used for the view.
The packages ARP_TAX_VIEW_TAXWARE and ARP_TAX_VIEW_VERTEX contain
the tax functions for Taxware and Vertex respectively. These tax functions contain
default logic that can be re-written for an installation. The tax functions are called from
the procedures in the packages ZX_TAXWARE_USER_PKG and
ZX_VERTEX_USER_PKG, which insert records in ZX_PRVDR_HDR_EXTNS_GT and
ZX_PRVDR_LINE_EXTNS_GT tables.
The table below contains the tax functions contained in ARP_TAX_VIEW_TAXWARE
ARP_TAX_VIEW_VERTEX packages and the values assigned to Vertex and Taxware
API parameters by the calling procedures in the packages ZX_TAXWARE_USER_PKG
and ZX_VERTEX_USER_PKG.

The tax functions are included in the E-Business Tax files

$ZX_TOP/patch/115/sql/zxtxvwab.pls and zxtxvwvb.pls.
The value of the eBTax Vertex: Case Sensitive profile option is assigned to the
header_ext_varchar_attribute1. This profile option is used by Vertex to indicate whether
information retrieval is performed using case-sensitive searches.
All tax functions have a parameter named p_view_name. This parameter identifies the
transaction source context for rewriting the body of a tax function. Based on the
transaction source, the table below identifies the table from where you can fetch
transaction line attributes and join with other E-Business Suite tables.

The procedure returns NULL values by default for all output parameters and the
calling procedure assigns the value as per the description below. This procedure is
called for Taxware integration only.
E-Business Tax stores exemptions for each jurisdiction individually in the
ZX_EXEMPTIONS table. Therefore, this procedure may get called five times if the
exemptions are defined for each of the five jurisdiction levels. E-Business Tax assigns
the values stored in the ZX_EXEMPTIONS table for each jurisdiction. Only the first two
characters of the exemption reason stored in ZX_EXEMPTIONS are passed to Taxware.
If ZX_EXEMPTIONS does not have exemption records for all five jurisdictions, Taxware
is passed Y for p_use_step, 1 for p_step_proc_flag, and R for p_crit_flag.
If this procedure is re-written at an installation, E-Business Tax passes the values of the
flags p_use_step, p_step_proc_flag and p_crit_flag to Taxware from the last call
E-Business Tax makes to the GET_EXEMPTION procedure for a transaction line. Each
call to GET_EXEMPTION should return a jurisdiction-specific exempt percentage,
exempt reason, and exempt certificate number that is passed to Taxware.

The procedure returns NULL values by default for all output parameters and the
calling procedure assigns the value as per the description below. This procedure is
called for Vertex integration only.
E-Business Tax stores exemptions for each jurisdiction individually in the
ZX_EXEMPTIONS table. Therefore, this procedure may get called four times if the
exemptions are defined for each of the four jurisdiction levels. E-Business Tax assigns
the values stored in the ZX_EXEMPTIONS table for each jurisdiction. Only the first
character of the exemption reason stored in ZX_EXEMPTIONS is passed to Vertex.
If this procedure is re-written at an installation, each call to GET_EXEMPTION should
return a jurisdiction-specific exempt percentage and exempt reason that is passed to
Vertex. The certificate number received from the last call to this function for a
transaction line is passed to Vertex for that transaction line.

Using Flexfields and Fields in Other Applications

Some descriptive flexfields and fields in other applications are used specifically for
service provider integration. The following tables list all such fields. Note that all fields
are optional.

Important: Use of user-defined descriptive flexfields is considered a
customization. Functions supplied by Oracle may change in future

releases to support these fields in core tables. Additionally, if these
columns are in use by your customizations, you may need to either
redefine the tax functions so that they look in other attribute columns,
or your customizations may need to be changed.
