  • Publication number: 20220020097
    Abstract: A system may learn what parameters are required for an item in order to compute tax for the item based on preliminary data regarding the item and/or the transaction. The system may determine a classification code based on such preliminary data and use that classification code to search or query a database storing information indicative of parameters required to compute tax for items having such a classification code. The system may map the received preliminary data into the learned required parameters and determine whether there are any required parameters for which there has not been any preliminary data mapped into them. The system may prompt the customer (e.g., seller of the item) or other user for data values of such missing required parameters or otherwise obtain data values of such parameters in order to compute the tax for the item.

  • Publication number: 20160311572
    Abstract: A low profile, coated pallet assembly constructed generally of wood, including a generally planar top platform formed of plywood, spacers to provide apertures for a forklift, bottom runners, and is completely encapsulated or coated by a polymeric material. The spacers may include a hollow or foam core to reduce pallet weight but not compromise strength. The bottom runners enhance pallet stability and strength. The polymeric material provides surface friction, resistance to surface damage, and overall integrity to provide a unitary, integral pallet assembly when a substantially uniform coating is applied after pallet components are assembled and affixed.
