Definition

Reference to other magnetic media structure

Use

Some magnetic tapes according to tax forms have the same structure but need to be build for different authorities. By maintaining this field, the user refer to another magnetic media structure for the current tax form. All maintenance of this refered magnetic media will be taken, no further table entries are needed.

Example

The tape coming along with North Dakota tax form W2 has the same structure and field definition as the tape coming with the federal tax form W2.

After the structure for the tape HR_F_W2 is completely set up in the system, you need just another entry such as YR_NA_W2 North Dakota W2 which refers to structure HR_F_W2 and has tax authority North Dakota.
