Functionality This function is intended for all entities (including most R/3 masterrecords such as plant, customer, vendor, cost center, asset, etc.) thatuse the Central Address Management (CAM) to store their addresses. This function has two features:
- If a jurisdiction code is not specified, this function determines a
unique jurisdiction code from the given address: Country, state,zipcode, and possibly city and/or county.
- If a jurisdiction code is specified, the function checks that this
jurisdiction code is valid. To check if a jurisdiction code is valid,the country tax procedure needs to be determined to establish whetheran external tax system is being used. If an external system is in use,the specified jurisdiction code will be checked against the specifiedaddress (state, zipcode, etc). Alternatively, the specifiedjurisdiction code will be checked against table TTXJ and thecorresponding jurisdiction code text will also be returned. Tax Jurisdiction Code: Location identification for tax purposes. The combination of country,state, county, city and zipcode produces a unique jurisdiction code.The jurisdiction code is used by most US tax packages to simplify theUS tax calculation process in which the place of origin and destinationare of major significance. For this reason, a jurisdiction code usuallybelongs to an entity.
