If a taxpayer uses electronic data interchange processes and technology, the level of record detail, in combination with other records related to the transactions, must be equivalent to that contained in an acceptable paper record. The retained records shall include vendor name, invoice date, product description, quantity, price, amount and type of tax, and shipping information. Codes may be used to identify the data elements, provided that the retailer provides a code list or other method to allow the department to interpret the coded information. The taxpayer may capture the necessary information at any level within the accounting system and need not retain the original EDI transaction records provided the audit trail, authenticity, and integrity of the retained records can be established.
