3	Enter the information for the three fields as described below. Modifier Type - Modifier Types are created in Technical Configurations under Sales Tax Modifier Type. The default values are: Luxury Tax Tax Reduction Other Priority - CORESense automatically sets the priority level for a Modifier based on the order in which it was created. The user can modify this value. Rate Modification - Enter the negative value of the existing state tax. Example, if the tax rate is normally 7.5 %, enter the modified value as (-7.5).
4	Click Update and the Modifier Type is listed in the box above.
5	Click on the Modify Schedule link to specify the date and time range during which the Modifier is active.
6	Click Add Schedule to enter dates and times. Click on the calendar and clock icons to select date and time or enter them into the fields directly.
