Process Will Call Transaction

Will Call is a unique feature that allows you to setup products to be picked up based on the address of the location(or warehouse). In general, tax computations for every sales order transactions are always based on where the product will be delivered, that is the Ship to Address. For the Will Call feature however, taxes are computed based on the address of the location. You may setup the tax percentage to be paid by the customer.

 

This feature is applicable on sales quote, sales order, sales invoices, RMAs and credit memos.

  2. Define a Sales Tax Code for an Inventory Location



    You only need to perform the first two tasks if you have no other tax component/scheme other than the Sales No Tax. We need to define a tax component that has a flat rate amount for a tax computation to happen.  You can define your own sales tax code to MAIN location if you want.
