Updated: February 1, 2020

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

Scope of this User Guide

This guide provides guidance for Dynamics NAV administrators and users. It assumes that the reader knows how to find and open common pages in these Dynamics NAV modules. Information about using Dynamics NAV pages is limited to specific instructions for using the CCH SureTax features on those pages.

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: Select 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 page.
  • Italics are used to identify the names of the pages, tabs, sections of pages, 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 for Microsoft Dynamics NAV installed, you can accurately calculate sales tax for the United States and Canada 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 four components that can be installed separately:

  • Sales: Allows you to manage your sales tax compliance in the Sales module of Dynamics NAV.
  • Purchasing: Allows you to manage your sales tax compliance in the Purchasing module of Dynamics NAV.

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 to the SureTax web services. The calculated sales tax is returned to Dynamics NAV. If needed, you can view the results of the CCH SureTax calculation before posting the transaction.

Features

With CCH SureTax for Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you can do the following:

  • Supports the Microsoft Dynamics NAV web clients.
  • Manage sales tax for transactions created on various Microsoft Dynamics NAV pages.
  • Input separate addresses for each line item in a transaction.

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.
  • SureAddress: 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.

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

Each plug-in component except for SureAddress contains two sets of code files. One set, CCHBase, contains objects that are common among all the plug-in components (except SureAddress). These files are the same for each component and only must be imported once if multiple modules are installed. The second set contains code specific to each component. 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.

Basic Setup

The following sections contain information about the basic setup that you must perform before you can use CCH SureTax for Microsoft Dynamics NAV to calculate sales tax.
