Customer Tax Returns
A Customer Tax Return is a special kind of task that CPA companies do for their customers. In Maconomy, it is not defined as a task on a task list. Instead, a collection of Customer Tax Returns is defined and associated with a job. Customer Tax Returns have various status fields and dates that are important in the follow-up and planning of such work.
To support the Customer Tax Return functionality in Maconomy, BPM provides reports that list the status of customer tax returns. In addition, the Job Information universe is enhanced with objects for this kind of reporting. This functionality is part of BPM Reporting but not BPM Analysis.
Reports
Two new reports are introduced in BPM Reporting:
- Customer Tax Return - This report lists the customer tax returns for each job and displays the overall information that provides an overview of the status of the customer tax returns.
- Customer Tax Return Details - This report is a sub-report of the Customer Tax Return report and displays, for each Customer Tax Return, additional detailed information. There is a link from the Customer Tax Return report to the Customer Tax Return Details report.
