Oracle EBTax Setups For Payable Invoice - How The Oracle EBTax Is Calculated On Payable Invoices

Step 1: Create Tax Regime Step 2: Create Tax Step 3: Create Tax Status Step 4: Create Jurisdiction Step 5: Create Rate Step 6: Enter Tax Accounts Step 7: Create Tax Rules (Populate values for all defaults) Step 8: Make Tax Available for Transaction Step 9: Test the Tax Pre-Requisite: Check how the Party/OU has been setup Tax Manager/Administrator > Parties > Party Tax Profiles Query for the following: Party Type: Operating Unit Owning Tax Content Party Name: Vision Operations (Name of the OU you wish to setup for tax) Click Go Click View Tax Profile   Confirm if 'Use Subscription of the Legal Entity' is checked. If this is checked, then the OU is set to use the subscription from Legal Entity. The regime is then subscribed (in a later step) to the First Party Legal Entity rather than the Operating Unit Owning Tax Content. This is a one time setup and the value cannot be toggled. So enable this only after you determine you want to use this setup.  In our case, for Vision Operations OU, this is NOT checked and therefore we need to set our Tax Regime up against the Operating Unit and NOT the First Party Legal Entity.
