 NOTE

Applies to: Sana 9.3.1 - 9.3.4

If you use Sana 9.3.5, please read the article "Taxes [Sana 9.3.5]"

Every company collects and pays taxes to various tax authorities. The rules and rates vary for countries, states, counties, and cities, and must be updated periodically as tax authorities change their requirements.

In the Sana web store customers can see product prices including tax or excluding, depending on the setup in SAP Business One.

 NOTE

Customers can see product prices including tax in the web store catalog only if taxes are configured for the items in SAP Business One.


If taxes are configured, they will be calculated and shown in the shopping cart of the Sana web store.

In Sana Admin there are settings that you can use to control presentation of taxes in the shopping cart of the web store. To change tax presentation in the shopping cart, in Sana Admin click: Setup > Ordering & checkout > Tax.

For more information, see "Tax".

Set up taxes in SAP Business One

There are several tax settings in SAP Business One which you can use to show product prices either including or excluding tax to the customers in the Sana web store.

In the Business Partner Master Data window, on the Accounting tab click Tax. On the Tax tab, you can see tax settings which you can set up on the customer (business partner) level.

Click: Web Store > Web Stores. On the Pricing tab, use the Tax Pricing Display field to set up tax settings on the web store level.

Depending on the combination of customer specific tax settings and web store tax setting you can show product prices to your customers either excluding or including tax in the Sana web store.

  • Liable - The customer's transactions include tax calculations.
