Test Sale Button for Taxing

Energy Force allows for testing a tank to determine if it will tax properlyA Test Sale button is located on the Tank Info screen in the Tank Product Reference section. By selecting this button, Energy Force multiplies 100 gallons times the Price Code and TierThen references the Product tied to the tank and determines if it's a taxable product based on the Department Maintenance table setup.  

Selecting the Test Sale button opens the Applied Tax screen to show each tax group that will apply to the product in the lower section. It shows the product and taxes to be applied such as State Sales Tax and Others which could be County, City or Excise taxes to name a few. If, upon review, this screen determines the taxing is incorrect, make the necessary adjustments to the Customer Tank, Department table or Tax table and try again.  

A few other items to look at when determining why a tank is not taxing properly are: 

  • Is the City accurate and spelled correctly for the Delivery Address? Is the State correct and displays the correct State abbreviation?  

  • Are the County, Township and School rates not applying properly? Take a look at the Location tab on the Tank Info screen to assess whether or not the tank has the correct codes associated for where it's physically located.  

  • Verify that the Departments are flagged properly for StateFederal and Other taxes.
