)In your jurisdiction, stores may have one or more taxes that appear on invoices and/or need to apply to the cost of your items. Taxes need to be entered into OC Enterprise for them to appear in purchase windows and reports. Anything that affects the final cost, or is applied to an invoice as a percentage or value needs to be accounted for. These include deposits, discounts, and environmental fees.
