Use this action to generate government tax/fee transactions that are associated to the selected transaction type as well as the policy type billed and its issuing location.
Although you can perform this action multiple times on the same transaction if necessary, Applied recommends that you do so only to generate additional taxes/fees, not to correct errors in a tax/fee that has already been billed on that transaction. If corrections are needed, reverse and regenerate the original tax/fee transaction instead.
Note: This article contains printing instructions that are only applicable if Applied Epic is installed locally on your computer. If you access Epic through a web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge, you cannot print directly from within the system. See Printing for more information about the printing capabilities available from Epic Browser. All other steps in this article are applicable to both methods of accessing Epic unless stated otherwise.
To access Accounts from another area of the program, do one of the following:
To change the way transactions display when you populate the list, click the word Transactions in the view filter.
A list of choices displays.
Use the search bar to display transactions
that meet specific criteria. Apply a single
filter (using the search fields) or multiple
filters (using the Edit
Filter button ) to narrow the list
of transactions.
Selecting multiple criteria performs an "and" search (for example, transactions in a specific Accounting Month with a specific Bill Mode).
To clear the currently applied filter (for the current session only) and start over, click the Clear Filter link label. The search bar displays in blue when filters are applied and in gray when filters are cleared.
To save your currently applied filters
as a default for all accounts of the same entity type, create
Filter
Defaults. Your currently applied filters are
saved as a default for the selected account automatically. Filter
defaults are unavailable on Transactions
lists opened from the Access
menu, as Access > Transactions
already provides a filtered view.
Your filter defaults are unique to your user code and will not
affect other users’ saved defaults.
Click
OK
to apply the filter default.
To clear a filter default, click the Clear Filter link label,
click the Filter
Defaults link label, select the appropriate
checkboxes
in the Filter Defaults
window, and click OK.
Click Cancel to close the window without saving your changes.
Note: If taxes/fees have already been generated for the selected transaction, a warning message displays, asking if you want to continue. If you click Yes, you must enter information about the tax/fee manually or use the Select Alternate Rate link, as only the Taxable transaction code and Taxable amount default when you generate additional taxes/fees.
You can also perform the following workflows on this screen:
Information on the Invoice tab defaults based on the billing information for the taxable transaction selected. When modifying receivable splits, you cannot select any accounts or contacts that were not billed on the original transaction. You also cannot modify the address or delivery method for a payment contact; it must be the same as the delivery information entered on the original transaction.
Use this option to calculate taxes/fees at a rate for a different location than the issuing location defined at the line of business level.
