Tax-Relevant: 

'Tax Relevant' Indicator (Only for External Tax System)

When using an external system, this parameter controls whether the indicator is relevant to tax.

Definitions:

• Relevant to tax Blank or O - External system decides if transaction is non taxable vs. taxable. External system's taxability decision engine will be used.
  
  
• 1 - External system assumes transaction is taxable. Therefore, external system's taxability decision engine will be ignored and tax rates will be based solely on jurisdiction 
  codes.
  
  
• 2 – Call to external tax system will be bypassed during tax calculation. SAP will impose zero rates and zero amounts. 

Important:
Tax codes I0 and O0 have the same settings as its correspondent tax codes I1 and O1. The only difference is the Relevant to tax indicator set up that is part of the tax code properties. The Relevant to tax indicator must be set to 0 or Blank to make the system perform a tax calculation call for external system.  In such cases the system will update the corresponding fields in app Display External Tax Document
