Overview
MSM Associates is a Consulting Firm specializing in the Purchasing and Payable Modules of PeopleSoft and Oracle Financials. We have twenty years experience in the installation of manufacturing, distribution, and financials applications. We have done significant development directly for PeopleSoft, and have the rare combination of strong functional and technical skills. If you are converting from PeopleSoft to Oracle Financials, you should consider a resource that has been involved in a successful migration. We have just finished working with a client who converted from PeopleSoft 7.5 to Oracle 11.5.10.

We also have significant experience integrating PeopleSoft and Oracle with Vertex, including developing Use Tax for Oracle Payables. This automated enhancement accrues use tax on vouchers and from other sources with no changes to the delivered product.

Interfacing Oracle Payables to Vertex
MSM Associates provides a solution to generate use tax for Oracle Financials. It is an automated process that performs two main functions. First, the process calculates use tax for transactions where no sales tax was charged. Second, the subsystem generates use tax accruals that are sent to the General Ledger. There are a number of advantages to this offline approach for tax calculation:

• No modifications to Oracle, resulting in easier upgrades and maintenance
• Little impact to daily AP operations
• Significant benefits to the tax department by providing better compliance for use tax accrual
• No online performance impact for users – processes can run offline

Extract Sources
Use Tax for Oracle Financials provides data extracts from the following sources:

• Payables vouchers with no sales tax
• Fixed Asset additions and capitalizations
• General Ledger Journals
• Generic Spreadsheet Upload
