VAT Management

You can set the VAT rate for the payment cost and shipping cost. This VAT rate is used for all payment methods and shipping costs of the webshop. The VAT rate is set to calculate the total VAT per order.

The payment cost and shipping cost VAT rates can be configured in the Sana Commerce backoffice at the following location: Settings -> Checkout.

To configure the VAT rates they should be imported from Microsoft Dynamics NAV first:

Step 1: Go to the following location in the Sana Commerce backoffice: Settings -> Scheduled tasks.

Step 2: Run the 'Product Import' task.

When the 'Product Import' task is finished the VAT rates are imported from NAV and become available in the VAT rates dropdown in the backoffice.
More detailed information about scheduled tasks can be found here.

After the VAT rates have been imported from Microsoft Dynamics NAV you can set them in the backoffice.

The VAT rates in the backoffice must correspond to the VAT rates of the G/L accounts in NAV which are used in the order export process.

To check the corresponding VAT rates in NAV and to configure them in the backoffice:

Step 1: Go to the following location in Microsoft Dynamics NAV: Departments -> Webshop -> Webshops.

Step 2: Open the webshop card and check which G/L accounts are set in the 'Shipping Cost No.' and 'Payment Cost No.' fields:
