Completed

In this exercise, you set up sales tax settlement periods.

  10. Turn on or turn off the Use batch processing for sales tax settlement toggle.

    You can process the settlement process for the settlement period as a batch job in the background. We recommend this method for many tax transactions in a period interval.

  11. Turn on or turn off the Prevent generating offset tax transactions toggle.
