How to insert TAX information with the DI API

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have an ecommerce solution that calculate the accurate tax with a web service based on State, City and County. However we cannot insert into the TAX field through the DI API. I was considering different options like inserting the tax amount in a additional expense or sinchronizing the TAX code per state into the ecommerce so once a State is selected in the shipping address we know which tax percentage needs to be charge into the order? has anyone experienced something similiar?

Thanks in advance

Hi Hector,

If you need to set a tax code in a document row, use the following:

            Dim oDoc As SAPbobsCOM.Documents = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oInvoices)
            oDoc.CardCode = "C00001"
            oDoc.DocDate = Now
            oDoc.DocDate = Now
            Dim oDocRows As SAPbobsCOM.Document_Lines = oDoc.Lines
            oDocRows.ItemCode = "A00001"
            oDocRows.Quantity = 10
            oDocRows.VatGroup = "L13"
            ...

Some additional info (from the SDK Help File)

TaxCode Property 
Sets or returns the sales tax code for the item specified in the row.
Country-specific property for USA
VatGroup Property 
Sets or returns the VAT group for the item specified in the row.
Country-specific property for EU

This are the properties available for A-Cluster countries. If you're in a B-Cluster country you may have a different property available.
