Employee State Tax Withholding Configuration
The Employee State Tax Withholding Configuration (ETAXSC) reference page allows users to setup configuration for a specific State ID that controls validations on the Employee State Tax Withholding Certificate (ETAXS) transaction.
Configuration settings are applied on ETAXS through the State ID pick list and/or when selecting Update & Close on the transaction. Fields that are configured as Not Allowed are protected after selecting a State ID through the pick list. Typing a State ID into the field is not trigger the configuration settings and they are instead applied when selecting Update & Close. Note: Any information entered in a line before triggering configuration options may be erased.
An entry on this page is not required for using ETAXS. If there is no ETAXSC entry for a State ID, the line for that State ID is configured as default for the transaction based on setup in Configure Page (DESIGNER). Any changes on DESIGNER for ETAXS will override configuration on ETAXSC. This could cause unwanted issues in the transaction depending on the configuration options selected for a specific State ID.
