  4. New invoice created in Synergetic

...

  1. Synergetic will check the TaxAmount and Invoice Amount for each Invoice and try to establish one of the Synergetic Tax Codes for the Invoice.

  2. Process will infer a tax code where this is a single value that reconciles to the finance.luTax lookup references. Usually GST (10%) or tax-free (0%)

  3. Process will try to use a TaxCode which has SynergyMeanings for luTax?

  4. Invalid TaxCode error will be thrown if the process is unable to establish a valid TaxCode for a given Invoice.

Import Procedure:

[finance].[spiCreditorTransactionsLoadFileAPI] will be created in Synergetic database and process all the Invoices as part of this Import.

History Table

History table will be created for this process (uCreditorInvoicesAPIImportCreditorInvoicesAPIImport). This table will record each Invoice coming into Synergetic using this process.
