What problem does this Idea solve?

In Missouri, and possibly other states, customers can register with the State to pay their own Lime Tonnage Tax separately from Non-Lime Tonnage Tax. Users are asking that Vanguard be updated to allow for the following:

  • Add 2 new fields to the Customer Master for "Registered For Lime", checkbox, and "Lime Tonnage Tax License", varchar(10). These should be added to the General > General Tab near the "Registered for Plant Food\Fertilizer Ingredients" and "Tonnage Tax License" Fields.

    • The Lime Tonnage Tax License field should be required if the Registered for Lime field is flagged.

    • Both new fields should be added to the Data Dictionary for use in Report Writer.

  • When Selling an item marked as a "Lime Item" with a "Fertilizer Grade" instead of using the "Registered for Plant Foods\Fertilizer Ingredients " to determine if Lime Tonnage Tax should be charged, Vanguard should look to the new "Registered for Lime" flag.

    • Tonnage Tax Rates should continue to be determined by the setup in Inventory > Supporting Tables > Access Tonnage Tax Rates.

  • A New field should be added to the Inventory > Sales > Plant Foods Tonnage Tax report called "Tonnage Tax Type", dropdown list. The options for this list should be All, Lime only, Non-Lime Only.

    • When selecting All, the report should function as it currently does with one minor change. The Export of the report should display the Lime Tonnage Tax License for Tons sold of items with the Lime Item flag checked.

    • When Selecting Lime Only, the report should only display Tons sold of items marked as Lime Items. The Export for this Tonnage Tax Type should display the Lime Tonnage Tax License

    • When Selecting Non-Lime Only, the report should display Tons sold of items not marked as Lime Items. The export for this Tonnage Tax Type should display the Tonnage Tax License.

  • Users have also requested that a new column be added to the Export option, for all Tonnage Tax Types when using the Report Type Detail, to display the invoice number.
