Flagging Accruals (7/9/98)

The system problem concerning flagging accruals at the control group header level has been resolved.  Some agencies reported a problem with the accrual indicator from the Control Document Entry (CDE) screen not defaulting to all invoice lines within the control group.   Agencies should check their accruals by viewing the AP EOY PREINV ACR INJCTN reports in RMDS to verify that all accruals have been correctly flagged.  If this problem occurs on control groups entered after July 8, please contact OSC Client Support at (919)875-HELP.

Effective July 1, 1998, North Carolina General Statute 105-164.4 (a) (5) was amended to decrease the state sales tax rate for most food items as follows:

"The rate of two percent (2%) applies to the sales price of food that is not otherwise exempt pursuant to G.S. 105-164.13 but would be exempt pursuant to G.S. 105-164.13 if it were purchased with coupons issued under the Food Stamps Program, 7 U.S.C. § 51."

As the county sales tax rate remains at two percent (2%), the total sales tax rate applicable to most food items is four percent (4%).

Please use the correct mini-chart account indicator of 400 (for 4% sales & use tax on food items) when processing invoice lines for payment on NCAS.
