Tire Tax

[ajz]

Is there an easy way to charge out a state tire tax per tire on repair orders with the ADP system? We are supposed charge and show on the RO a $1.00 tire tax on every tire sold.

Possibly the easiest way is to create a dummy part number such as "TIRETAX". It can be set up with a cost of "$0" and a sale price of "$1". When tires are charged out, it would quickly become part of the routine for the person charging them out, just as valve stems and wheel weights would be, to charge out the same quantity of the "TIRETAX" part number as the number of tires being sold. Be sure to set this part number up in a seperate source that posts to the proper tax sale account. If you receipt your tires into inventory on the ADP system, if you always receipt a corresponding quantity of the "TIRETAX" part number your count should never have to go negative. Use whatever part number works for you; "TIRETAX" is just a suggested example.
