Robust Sales Tax Reporting:
Get started with Acumens Zamp API for D365 BC
In standard Business Central, sales tax calculation relies on manual setup of Tax Areas and Tax Groups. This means you must define tax jurisdictions and assign them to customers or documents, which can be time consuming and prone to errors – especially when dealing with complex or multi state tax rules.
With Acumens Zamp API for D365 BC, this process is automated. The app fetches address specific tax rates directly from Zamp API based on the validated Ship to address. It eliminates the need for manual Tax Area setup by dynamically applying the correct rate at the time of calculation or posting.
In standard Business Central, sales tax filing is a manual process. Users must generate tax reports (such as the Sales Tax Settlement report), export them to Excel, and then file returns directly with the state or tax authority. Business Central does not provide built in automated filing or API integrations with tax agencies.
With Acumens Zamp API for D365 BC, this limitation is addressed. The app supports automated tax filing via API uploads to providers like Zamp. These APIs can file returns on behalf of the client, eliminating the need for manual submission. For users who prefer not to use filing services, the app also supports manual reporting with enhanced Excel outputs.
In standard Business Central, exemptions are handled in a very basic way. You can create a zero-rated Tax Area code to use but the system does not differentiate between exemption types (e.g., government, wholesale, marketplace). This often requires manual workarounds when dealing with complex scenarios.
With Acumens Zamp API for D365 BC, exemptions are much more robust. The app supports four distinct exemption types:
It also adds specialized rules, such as Hawaii labor non exemption (labor remains taxable even for exempt customers) and National Accounts exemptions (all customers billed to a national account inherit its exemption).
