    CCH® SureTax® for Microsoft Dynamics NAV User Guide

    Welcome to CCH® SureTax®

    CCH SureTax for Dynamics NAV is a plug-in for Dynamics NAV that helps you accurately calculate sales tax for the United States and Canada. The plug-in includes components that can be purchased and installed separately:

    • The Sales & Marketing component works with the Sales & Marketing module of Dynamics NAV.
    • The Purchasing component integrates with the Purchase module of Dynamics NAV.
    • The Services component integrates with the Purchase module of Dynamics NAV.
    • CCH SureAddress helps you accurately validate addresses throughout the Sales & Marketing, Purchasing, and Services modules.

    Scope of this User Guide

    This guide provides guidance for staff members who work with Dynamics NAV Sales & Marketing and Purchase modules on a day-to-day basis. It assumes that the reader knows how to find and open common forms in these Dynamics NAV modules. Information about using Dynamics NAV forms is limited to specific instructions for using the CCH SureTax features on those forms.

    Conventions Used in this Guide

    To help you locate and interpret information, consistent visual cues and a standard vocabulary are used throughout this guide. These conventions are described below.

    • Bold facing is used in procedures to indicate a specific item in the program that you must select, enter, or otherwise act upon. For example: Click Finish to exit the wizard.
    • The greater-than symbol (>) is used to indicate the sequence of menus or folders to navigate through to reach a particular location. For example: Select Sales & Marketing > Order Processing > Orders to open the sales order form.
    • Italics are used to identify the names of the forms, tabs, sections of forms, and fields. For example: In the Default order-approval address section, enter the address to be used for order approvals.

    To distinguish between the subparts that make up the SureTax plug-in and Dynamics NAV, different labels are applied to these items. The word "component" is used to identify subparts of the SureTax plug-in, while the word "module" is used to describe subparts of Dynamics NAV.

    Chapter 1 - Installation and Basic Configuration

    Overview

    CCH SureTax for Microsoft Dynamics NAV is a plug-in that integrates the CCH SureTax solution with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. With CCH SureTax Sales Component for Microsoft Dynamics NAV installed, you can accurately calculate sales tax for the United States and Canada, as well as VAT, and manage your sales tax compliance without the need to maintain sales tax rates inside Dynamics NAV.

    The CCH SureTax for Microsoft Dynamics NAV product includes three components that can be installed separately:

    • Sales & Marketing: Allows you to manage your sales tax compliance in the Sales & Marketing module of Dynamics NAV.
    • Purchasing: Allows you to manage your sales tax compliance in the Purchase module of Dynamics NAV.
    • Services: Allows you to manage your sales tax compliance in the Services module of Dynamics NAV.
    • SureAddress: Allows you to validate addresses in the Sales & Marketing, Purchasing, and Services modules.

    How It Works

    When you compute the sales tax on a transaction in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, the CCH SureTax for Microsoft Dynamics NAV plug-in sends the transaction information from Dynamics NAV through SureTax Web Services to the main CCH SureTax application. The calculated sales tax is sent back to Dynamics NAV through SureTax Web Services. If needed, you can view the results of the CCH SureTax calculation from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Temporary Sales Transactions form before posting the transaction.

    The following are limitations of the CCH SureTax for Microsoft Dynamics NAV plug-in:

    • CCH SureTax calculates tax for the United States and Canada only.
    • The State field on all addresses cannot be more than two characters long.

    Installing the CCH SureTax for Microsoft Dynamics NAV Plug-Ins

    CCH SureTax for Microsoft Dynamics NAV has four modules available:

    • Sales: Provides tax calculation for transactions processed through the Sales & Marketing module in NAV.
    • Purchase: Provides tax calculation for transactions processed through the Purchasing module in NAV.
    • Service: Provides tax calculation for transactions processed through the Service module in NAV.
    • AV: Provides address validation for the Sales & Marketing, Purchasing, and Service modules in NAV.

    We Recommend: Back up all Dynamics NAV objects that the plug-in modifies before importing the customization files. A list of the objects that will be modified can be found in the Appendix.

    Note: If you are installing both the AV plug-in and any tax calculation plug-in, install the AV plug-in first.

    Before importing the customization code, the NAV license must have the CCH granules added through Partnersource.

    Each plug-in module except for AV contains two sets of code files. One set, STXBase, contains objects that are common among all the plug-in modules (except AV). These files are the same for each module and only must be imported once if multiple modules are installed. The second set contains code specific to each module. There is no requirement on the order that objects are imported. Each set of code files consists of one FOB file and one TXT file. The FOB file contains compiled code, and we recommend that you import the code in this format whenever possible. The TXT file contains raw text, which can be useful when code merging is required for native NAV objects.

    We recommend that you perform database synchronization during import, and that you perform a full compile of all imported objects after the import. Plug-in objects can be filtered in the Object Designer by filtering on the Version List field with a value of CCH.

    Using the CCH SureTax Features on Individual Service Documents

    When you create a service document, the system applies the CCH SureTax settings that you selected on the Form of the item type, Customer, and CCH Setup form to the new document.

    Using CCH SureTax Options with Dynamics NAV Features

    The Dynamics NAV functions listed below either allow you to create a new document or line item based on an existing document or line item, or they allow you to quickly modify an existing document or line item. In some instances when you use these functions, the CCH SureTax options selected for the original document or line item may be retained on the new or modified item.

    Setting CCH SureTax Options for Service Transaction Lines

    By default, CCH SureTax setting for transaction lines are defaulted from the CCH Setup form. These settings on the CCH Setup form can be overridden at the form of the corresponding Item type and Customer form. The Transaction type code defaults from the form of the corresponding Item Type.

    Note: In the case of the "Item" item type, if the transaction type code on the Item card is not configured, then the plugin will pull the Transaction Type Code from the Item Category. The Sales Type Code defaults from the corresponding Customer form.

    The CCH SureTax plugin allows you to override CCH SureTax settings at the line level on Service transactions. Do the following to configure CCH SureTax settings for individual lines on a Service transaction.

    1. Select the transaction line for which to configure CCH SureTax settings.
    2. Select the Lines dropdown on the line items grid.
    3. Select Service Tax Calculation.
    4. Configure the desired CCH SureTax settings for the line.
