Associating SuiteTax Latam Engine Plug-in with Tax Code

To effectively calculate taxes using the SuiteTax Latam Engine, associating a plug-in implementation with a tax code is a crucial step. This plug-in implementation provides the necessary methods and parameters for accurate tax calculations.

Steps to Associate a SuiteTax Latam Engine Plug-in Implementation with a Tax Code

1. Navigate to Setup > Tax > Tax Codes in your NetSuite account.
2. Click Edit next to the desired tax code you want to associate.
3. (Optional) In the Internal Name field, you can enter a recognizable identifier for the tax code. This is generally formatted like a variable name in uppercase with underscores (e.g., TAX_DUE).
4. In the SuiteTax Latam Engine Plug-In Implementation field, select the specific plug-in implementation intended for tax calculations linked with this tax code. Note that this field exclusively supports SuiteTax Latam Engine plug-in implementations.
5. Finally, click Save to apply your changes.

Important Note: Before you can associate a plug-in implementation, ensure that you have already created the tax codes. Each tax code plays a fundamental role in determining the appropriate tax applied to transaction line items.
