TDF Tax Distribute
Overview
The order management system calls the TDF Tax Distribute operation to perform the following processing:
- Account for tax credits.
- Distribute tax credits for any adjustments.
- Record tax credit details for legal and reporting purposes.
This asynchronous operation creates a distribute request (TaxDistributeRequest) on the Tax Service and returns an acknowledgment (AckReply).
