Oracle R12 eBTax – Patch to drive Place of Supply rule from POO (Point of Origin) or POA (Point of Acceptance)
Place of Supply (POS) options for Tax Rules
Finally, Oracle have released a patch that allows the place of supply to be driven from the point of origin (POO) or the point of acceptance.
Previously only the ‘ship from’, the ‘ship to’, ‘bill from’ or ‘bill to’ even thought he POA and POO were options, they simply did not do anything.
This has now been resolved with the following patch
Patch 19077918:R12.ZX.B
for UNABLE TO CALCULATE THE TAX IN CASE THE PLACE OF SUPPLY IS SET TO POINT OF ACCEPTANCE / ORIGIN
So why is this so important? firstly it gives more opportunity, to be able to drive the correct tax regime particularly when you have a situation when the country the tax is needed for is not a ship from/to or bill from/to. So whether the POO or the POA is actually set up as a POO or POA or you are just using the fields to help drive the tax, this patch will help resolve several scenarios that simply were not possible before.

Thanks for the info. We are in real need of calculating tax based on POO. But, I could not find any field in Oracle Sales Order or AR Invoice, where we can provide the location of POO.
So, I wanted to know if this functionality only applicable for calculating tax using Vertex/ Taxware? and there is no way to calculate tax based on POO or POA in standard Oracle EBTAX?

Best to raise an SR with oracle and see what they say and please update this post with any findings.

I am implementing a simple EU Tax engine using Tax Classifications, and if no Tax Classification, rules.
I am having issues re AR Tax and PoS
AP/PO is okay and the PoS Default is set to Ship to, if no ship-To, use Bill-To
But for AR, this only calculates on Ship-To/Bill-To (Doc ID 2090834.1)
But then we get the different countries and no Jurisdiction for say EU transactions i.e.
Legal Entity Country v Customer Country is different
AP/PO is not an issue as the new legislation (I believe) says to use the Ship-To/Bill-To which is the same as the Jurisdiction Country
Does this make sense?

Ok, first – never use jurisdictions for non-us (or Canada) setups. They are not needed. Default place of supply outside the US is also the bill from, not the ship to (if the ship to is Ireland and you are shipping from Luxembourg, then you still want to calculate LU VAT, setting PoS to Ship To means country is IE not LU!).
Dont try and mix STCC global config setup with tax rules – its possible but stick with one or the other.
Its difficult to advise as you seem to have quite a few areas that are wrong.
