Digital Goods are non-taxable in my state, but iTunes collected anyway...

I just purchased non-free items in iTunes for the first time. I was very surprised to be charged 6% sales tax on my digital items.
I did some checking - there are several states where Digital Goods can be taxed, but my state, currently, is NOT one of them. Unless I have been misinformed by the various collections of digital goods law I've been able to find, in Pennsylvania, Digital Goods are currently non-taxable. I take that to mean that Apple is breaking Pennsylvania Law by charging me this sales tax, since Apple will apparently not be forwarding what it collected to my State.
How do I get this 6% back from Apple?

Gee, thanks. Could you be less helpful?
We really need a non-helpful button here - I'd like to penalize people who only answer just to get a higher post count.
I didn't ask whether Apple's legal department was huge and infallible, I asked how to get my 6% non-sales tax back when the law as described by more than one tax authority site online currently claims it's not legal for Apple to take it for my State.
I'm assuming it was taken by mistake and am giving Apple the benefit of the doubt. Telling me that I'm wrong would've answered the question, if you can back it up with a reference that proves that Digital Goods are, as of August 25th, 2010, currently taxable in Pennsylvania.
In fact, anything confirming or denying whether Digital Goods are taxable in Pennsylvania would be relevant to this question. Pointing out how large and smart their lawyers are, does nothing towards this confirmation. Ask yourself whether Microsoft's equally sizable and astute legal department ever did anything illegal, knowingly or unknowingly.
If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, and I'll walk away having paid the 6% already. But if I'm right, I want to know how to get it back, and how to stop it from happening in the future. If you don't have anything relevant to say regarding the question asked, kindly go elsewhere. You're not needed here.

How to prevent itunes from automatically adding tunes to library? These are tunes I select to play, but itunes inserts them in the library and then I have to go delete them.

If I select a tune to listen to, it opens in itunes and itunes adds it to the library. I would like to stop itunes from doing this, but I can't find a control to do this or to let me make quicktime be the default player. So I am constantly deleting stuff that it adds, PIA!

US Sales Tax - Some materials are taxable in some states and not others....

We have lots of materials which are classified and grouped.
All materials grouped are taxable somewhere so the material tax classificiation is set to 1.
In some states, some material groupings are not taxable whilst others are so there is a State Tax Jurisdication Tax Code set up.
The customer is taxable - and the material is taxable therefor the UTXJ condition is found and there is a Jurisdtication code of this particular state but this particular product should not be taxable in this situation .... how can I do that?
I don't think picking up the Material Grouping & the State in the VOFM Requirement check will work as the situation is too fluid. This must happen all the time - how do you guys in the States deal with this situation?
Regards.
Patrick.

Guys I appreciate the feedback but I don't really understand either answer;
i) US Local taxes are derived via condition UTXJ which does not have either Plant or Customer Region in the access sequence? The standard US domestic access is Country - State - Customer Tax Class & Material Tax Class which as I have indicated, suggests (as the customer is taxable, and the material is taxable (somewhere)) then local taxes are applicable and therefore it goes on to find the appropriate tax rate for the state jurisdiction code. I canu2019t see how to implement a short circuit to this.
ii) Yes u2013 I guess I could ask the user to override the tax class every time they sell this kind of product for this state but that just doesnu2019t seem right u2013 and the UTXJ condition doesnu2019t have a value on it, it is just the gateway to the Tax Jurisdiction conditions JR1, 2, etc.
There must be a standard way of dealing with this out there u2026. anyone?
Thanks.
Patrick

Account assignment for non taxable code

Hi,
When i do sales invoice, system gives me error messages as " Error in account determination: table T030K key MS01 MWS A0".
In FTXP, i have created tax code: A0 and no GL account assigned as it is "Non taxable output tax"
I have tax code A1 for service tax receivable output tax for which acc. key is MWS and GL account assigned in MWS with OB40.
Please guide me for A0.
Reagrds,
Pritam

Dear Pritam
I presume, the tax code A0 is created for export customers. If so, in export customer master, sales area data under "Billing Documents" tab, you maintain the tax as zero and 1 for domestic customers. Of course, you need to maintain a seperate G/L account for this.
Similarly, in VK19, for domestic customers, you maintain the condition type for the combination of Country / PlntRegn / Region / Tax Cla.Cust / Tax Clas.Mat.. For export customers, maintain the tax code for the combination of "Departure Country / Destination Country"

Hello,
Usually Bapi's are non Dalog oriented,but why do we have chckbox named " Dialog " in Bapi Explorer
Transaction.Whats the use of this Dialog checkbox ?
Please explain it clearly..
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Contrary to what many expect, BAPI can have a dialog just like other applications. A good example of one such BAPI is BAPI_MATERIAL_DISPLAY. When ever dialogs are required, we can use such a BAPI!!

What will be the movement type when goods are returned from customers

what will be the movement type when goods are returned from customers

Hello Ravinder,
Please see the following description in the SAP Library
(http://help.sap.com) under the path:
Materials Management (MM)
-> Inventory Management (MM-IM)
    -> Inventory Management and Physical Inventory (MM-IM)
       -> Goods Receipt
          -> Other Goods Receipts
             -> Entering a Customer Return
" Entering a Customer Return
Since returns from the customer are usually examined, the quantity
returned is first posted to blocked stock returns. As is the case with
goods receipt blocked stock, blocked stock returns are neither valuated
nor do they count as unrestricted-use stock.
If an examination proves that the returned quantity should be taken over
into unrestricted-use stock, you enter the transfer to unrestricted-use
stock in a second step. It is at that time that the valuation of the
goods receipt occurs.
Depending on how Customizing for Sales is configured (the movement type
configured in the step Define Schedule Line Category), the delivery is
posted to the following stock:
- Blocked stock returns (non-valuated, not unrestricted-use) (movement
type 651)
- Unrestricted-use stock (movement type 653)
- Quality inspection stock (movement type 655)
- Blocked stock (movement type 657)
If the given quantity is posted to blocked stock returns first, you can
make a manual goods movement posting in the Inventory Management
component to transfer the quantity to valuated stock.
If blocked stock returns are to be transferred into your company's own
stock, you enter the transfer as a transfer posting. Choose movement
type 453 (to unrestricted-use stock), 457 (to stock in quality
inspection stock), or 459 (to blocked stock). "
Hope this helps!

Shanthala Kudva.

Free goods are not copying in credit memo from invoice

Dear Gurus,
I have made a invoice having two line items 1.normal goods with sale price and 2.free sample goods(part of promotional scheme) without any sale price.
but while making credit memo for receiving goods back in cancellation of invoice , i am facing problem for free goods. system is not copying the free goods in credit memo and copying only normal goods.
what can be problem for not copying? whether i am following some wrong procedure or some configuration is missing.
please advise me with your valuable suggestions.
Thanks in advance
Parag

hello, friend.
first of all, the free goods are not relevant for credit memo since the customers never paid for these in the first place.
however, i observed that after cancelling the invoice, you still issued a credit memo? this may not be the proper process. when you cancel the invoice, entries into the customers Accounts Receivables are reversed as well (we are assuming no payments are posted yet). so there is no need to issue credit memos.
if you are referring to another process, please clarify the same.
regards.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

A simple text page like this:
Heading
    sub heading
          text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
     <h2>sub heading</h2>
          <p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

Need to run the rescheduling job V_V2 whenever goods are received

Hi,
Whenever Goods are received into the warehouse then the rescheduler program v_v2 need to be run only for that particular material automatically.
Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sre

Balaji,
Thanks for your quick response.
Currently we are running V_v2 as a background job every night for all the materials.
But now we need to run it for a material for which goods are received.
If i run it as background job then it has to be run for a specific set of materials or for all the materials in the plant.
But my need is whenever I receive Goods through MIGO, I need to run V_v2 automatically for the material for which i received goods.
Hope its clear now...
Thanks,
sre
