- IDTX may or may not store all permutations of Tax Jurisdictions, depending on the value selected for the Create Jurisdictions parameter
- If the UDGNIS was run with the parameter Create Jurisdictions = Yes, the system will load in cities into IDTX creating Tax Jurisdictions for all cities for the states selected in the UDGNIS. The user would then have to manually enter Municipality and School District for Pennsylvania and Ohio.
-If UDGNIS was run with the parameter Create Jurisdictions = No, the user will need to enter the IDTX entry using the ‘Tax Jurisdiction Editor Dialog Box’ provided by the system on the applicable screen
;IDTX:

4.1 Vertex Conversion Processing
- if user is converting from Vertex Taxation to Symmetry Taxation in the Payroll Module, user MUST run UDGNIS with ‘Vertex Conversion’ = ‘Y’ for the first time
- after UDGNIS is run with ‘Vertex Conversion’ = ‘Y’, all related Vertex Geographic Data Base Tables are converted, after the conversion, user MUST review UDGNIS exception report and manually fix any IDTX entries that cannot be converted
- IDCN County Code format is changed from Vertex Format ‘XX-XXX-0000’ to Symmetry Format ‘XX-XXX’, the Alternate County Code will store the previous Vertex County Code for reference
- Vertex does not use IDCI City Code, no conversion is needed for City Codes
- Vertex does not use IDMN Municipality Code, no conversion is needed for Municipality Codes
- IDSD School Districts code are checked, if the Vertex School District has not been used in the System, this Vertex School District Code will be removed
- the Vertex School District Name is used to look for a close match from Symmetry and update the existing School District entry with the Symmetry School District Code and Name, along with the applicable County Code of the School District
- for Vertex IDTX Tax Jurisdiction entry that has not been used in the System, if the parameter Remove Jurisdiction was set to Yes, this IDTX entry will be removed. If the parameter was set to No, the tax jurisdiction will remain.
- for Vertex IDTX Tax Jurisdiction entry that has been used in the System, this IDTX entry will try to be converted to Symmetry Format
- the IDTX Jurisdiction name is used to look for a close match from Symmetry
- IDTX Vertex GEO Code format is changed from ‘XX-XXX-XXXX’ to Symmetry Format ‘AA-BBB-CCCCCCC’, the old Vertex GEO Code will be stored in the Vtx GEO Code for reference
- if Symmetry has an exact match of the Jurisdiction Name, then this IDTX entry will be updated with the new GNIS Code in format of ‘AA-BBB-CCCCCCC’, along with the County dcn_id and City dci_id
- if Symmetry has no exact match for the Jurisdiction Name, then an exception message will be displayed, a Suggested County and City Name may be displayed, user MUST manually convert this IDTX entry after UDGNIS is run
- after Vertex GEO entries are cleaned up from IDTX, the user MUST review the UDGNIS Exception Report and manually fix the IDTX entries that cannot be converted
- symmetry may not be able to convert a Vertex Jurisdiction if the name is not a valid town name as considered by the US Postal Service. Symmetry uses Zip Codes within their GNIS filter mechanism to determine the appropriate County, City, Feature id combination, if the town name is not valid then it will not be able to generate the correct combination.
4.2 Manual Conversion - IDTX
There may be cases where the UDGNIS could not convert a tax jurisdiction. This could be a result of a spelling error or the jurisdiction is not classified as a real city by the US Postal Service and therefore the UDGNIS could not find the correct GNIS code to use.
To manually change a Vertex GEO Code to the Symmetry GNIS format follow the steps below:
1) In IDTX, copy the Vertex GEO Code into the Vtx Geo Code field. This is needed so that when UPCALC is run using Vertex, UPCALC knows to use the Vertex GEO Code rather than the GNIS code.
2) Using the fields on the right hand side, select the correct County and City. This will create the appropriate GNIS Geo Code. The name defined in the Jurisdiction field will be replaced with the City name.
5 UDGNIS Output File
5.1 UDGNIS – Sample .csv File
- if ‘Create File’ = Yes, each State will generate one .csv File to contain the Geographic Information for the State
- The following is a sample.csv file for Pennsylvania:
STATE LEVEL
- at State Level, the FIPS code is retrieved, e.g PA FIPS code is 42
- then all counties will be retrieved for this State, e.g. PA has 67 Counties
;STATE LEVEL:
*At the State level, the FIPS code is retrieved, e.g PA FIPS code is 42
*At that point, all counties will be retrieved for this State, e.g. PA has 67 Counties

5.2 UDGNIS – Vertex Conversion Sample File
- During Vertex Conversion, if the IDTX Vertex GEO Code entries cannot find an exact match from Symmetry, a WARNING Message will be displayed
- user MUST manually go into IDTX screen to modify the Vertex GEO Code with Description to the Symmetry Format
- e.g the following is an example of UDGNIS Message Displays after Vertex Conversion:
- user should review the UDGNIS Messages and the Output File for the Vertex IDTX GEO Codes displayed
- if there is an exact match with the Jurisdiction Description, IDTX will be converted
- if there is no match, a partial search will be performed to help the user to manually enter on IDTX screen
- if there is no partial match, the user must manually convert the Vertex GEO Code on IDTX screen
- UDGNIS will remove the unused old Vertex IDTX entries, after UDGNIS is run, user MUST manually convert the left over IDTX Vertex entries because these entries are being used in the system by Payroll
