TaxDecisionERP®…Ryan’s Advanced U.S. Multistate Use Tax Decision Automation Solution for SAP Users

Ryan understands that no matter how you do it, manual use tax calculation is difficult, error-prone, and labor intensive. It requires multiple transactions using varied tax rates based on where you buy, make, ship, warehouse, and sell, which leads to costly miscalculations. Manual processing gives you little visibility into your tax compliance and its impact on Sarbanes-Oxley reporting requirements. ERP systems may be good at many things, but they aren’t designed to track and manage use tax.

Ask yourself these key questions:

  • How is your company currently calculating use tax in SAP?
  • Does Purchasing determine tax codes on the purchase order?
  • Does Accounts Payable assign tax codes on the invoice?
  • Are you using standard percentages and a little guesswork?

Your ERP System Isn’t the Answer
ERP systems may be good at many things, but, even combined with third-party tax calculation software, they aren’t designed to track and manage use tax. ERP systems lack functionality to deal with the complexities of the internal processes that are subject to tax, the number of product codes, and the intricacies of use tax rates.

Automating Use Tax Management Saves Money and Eliminates Errors
SAP users have a better solution for use tax management and compliance. TaxDecisionERP® is a comprehensive, multistate use tax decision automation solution that integrates with SAP® ERP applications and external tax packages, enabling you to automate and centralize tax management by:
