  • Store 1 - the tax rate of P10 items is 7%
  • Store 2 - the tax rate of P10 items is 7%
  • Store 3 - the tax rate of P10 items is 10%
 
With the "Setup the tax structure at the Home Office"  step completed within a couple of minutes, the multistore system has communicated the new core tax structure to the other stores.  Specifically, the new Taxable Item type of "P10" will appear within the stores System > Support Files > Tax Tax Menu > Taxable Item Type listing.
Note: As with many of the System Level changes, the user must exit TransActPOS and then return to pickup the new configuration. So, make it a practice to select Exit, Exit and to leave TransActPOS to pick changes.
 
Arriving at the Support Files page, the store's system has grayed out those functions that are exclusively controlled by the TransActPOS Home Office.  In this case, only the Sales Tax Menu is available.  Select this option.
