A/R Tax Code Maintenance
This option is taken to initially create the TAX CODE file and then to add new codes or make changes as necessary to codes currently existing in the file.
After selecting this option from the A/R Master File Maintenance Menu, the computer will display the Tax Code Maintenance screen as follows:
