Use the procedures below to add or delete an entity or property number as needed.

ClosedAdding an Entity or Property Number

When you add a new entity or property, all the master tax codes for the entity type are created for the new entity. You can add any user-defined tax codes that you need for the new entity or property. Each entity or property requires a unique identifying number.

To add a new entity or property number, do the following:

  1. Open Return Manager.
  2. Open a return that has been set up for G/L Direct processing.

    Note: See Setting up G/L Direct for information about activating returns for G/L Direct processing.

    • Click Tax Codes in the Account Maintenance group.
    • Click Custom Tax Codes in the Options group.
