Organizing and managing transaction-related tax information
View Patent ↗Organizing and managing a transaction-related dimension of tax-related data allows for the generation of fact details to facilitate payment of taxes. First, a transaction-related dimension of tax-related data is provided along with a plurality of attributes for the transaction-related dimension. Such attributes include a transaction line item determined based on a transaction identifier, a transaction type, a tax type, a customer account identifier, a sold to location geographic code, a ship to location geographic code, a contract number, a purchase order number, a vendor account identifier, and a vendor zip code. Next, a plurality of entries are received which are associated with the attributes of the transaction-related dimension. A plurality of fact details are then generated using the entries of a predetermined set of the attributes of the transaction-related dimension. Thereafter, a set of aggregate fact details are generated based on the plurality of fact details. These aggregate fact details are then outputted.
1. A method for organizing and managing a transaction-related dimension of tax data for generating fact details comprising the steps of:
(a) providing a transaction-related dimension of tax data;
(b) providing a plurality of attributes categories for the transaction-related dimension of tax data, an attributes including a transaction line item determined based on attributes selected from attributes categories consisting of a transaction identifier, a transaction type, a tax type, a customer account identifier, a sold to location geographic code, a ship to location geographic code, a contract number, a purchase order number, a vendor account identifier, and a vendor zip code;
(c) receiving a plurality of transaction data for which tax data must be captured and reported;
(d) capturing specific attribute information from the plurality of received transaction data as specific fact details; and
(e) calculating and collating a plurality of aggregate fact details from the captured specific fact details.
2. The method as set forth in claim 1 , and further comprising the step of:
providing a description link of each of the attributes categories.
3. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the transaction line item is further determined based on attributes selected from the group consisting of a transaction description and a contract type.
4. The method as set forth in claim 1 , and further comprising the step of:

6. The method as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the fact details are selected from the group of fact details consisting of an adjusted book fact, a tax adjustment fact, a schedule M fact, a tax return fact, an apportionment fact, a line item fact, a transaction fact, an invoice fact, an asset fact, a payroll fact, a taxes paid fact, and a projected financial fact.
7. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for organizing and managing a transaction-related dimension of tax data for generating fact details comprising:
(a) a code segment that provides a transaction-related dimension of tax data;
(b) a code segment that provides a plurality of attributes categories for the transaction-related dimension of tax data, an attributes including a transaction line item determined based on attributes selected from attributes categories consisting of a transaction identifier, a transaction type, a tax type, a customer account identifier, a sold to location geographic code, a ship to location geographic code, a contract number, a purchase order number, a vendor account identifier, and a vendor zip code;
(c) a code segment for receiving a plurality of transaction data for which tax data must be captured and reported;
(d) a code segment for capturing specific attribute information from the plurality of received transaction data as specific fact details; and
(e) a code segment for calculating and collating a plurality of aggregate fact details from the captured specific fact details.
8. The computer program as set forth in claim 7 , and further comprising a code segment that provides a description link of each of the attributes categories.
9. The computer program as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the transaction line item is further determined based on attributes selected from the group consisting of a transaction description and a contract type.
10. The computer program as set forth in claim 7 , and further comprising a code segment that provides a description link of each of the fact details.
11. The computer program as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the transaction line item is determined based on attributes including a transaction identifier, a transaction type, a tax type, a customer account identifier, a sold to location geographic code, a ship to location geographic code, a contract number, a purchase order number, a vendor account identifier, and a vendor zip code.
12. The computer program as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the fact details are selected from the group of fact details consisting of an adjusted book fact, a tax adjustment fact, a schedule M fact, a tax return fact, an apportionment fact, a line item fact, a transaction fact, an invoice fact, an asset fact, a payroll fact, a taxes paid fact, and a projected financial fact.
13. A system for organizing and managing a transaction-related dimension of tax data for generating fact details comprising:
(a) logic that provides a transaction-related dimension of tax data;
(b) logic that provides a plurality of attributes categories for the transaction-related dimension of tax data, an attributes including a transaction line item determined based on attributes selected from attributes categories consisting of a transaction identifier, a transaction type, a tax type, a customer account identifier, a sold to location geographic code, a ship to location geographic code, a contract number, a purchase order number, a vendor account identifier, and a vendor zip code;
(c) logic that receives a plurality of transaction data for which tax data must be captured and reported;
(d) logic that captures specific attribute information from the plurality of received transaction data as specific fact details; and
(e) logic that calculates and collates a plurality of aggregate fact details from the captured specific fact details.
14. The system as set forth in claim 13 , and further comprising logic that provides a description link of each of the attributes categories.
15. The system as set forth in claim 13 , wherein the transaction line item is further determined based on attributes selected from the group consisting of a transaction description and a contract type.
16. The system as set forth in claim 13 , and further comprising logic that provides a description link of each of the fact details.
17. The system as set forth in claim 13 , wherein the transaction line item is determined based on attributes including a transaction identifier, a transaction type, a tax type, a customer account identifier, a sold to location geographic code, a ship to location geographic code, a contract number, a purchase order number, a vendor account identifier, and a vendor zip code.
18. The system as set forth in claim 13 , wherein the fact details are selected from the group of fact details consisting of an adjusted book fact, a tax adjustment fact, a schedule M fact, a tax return fact, an apportionment fact, a line item fact, a transaction fact, an invoice fact, an asset fact, a payroll fact, a taxes paid fact, and a projected financial fact.
