Tax Callback Class

You can communicate with a Tax Engine of your choice with the help of a Tax Callback class. For this, you should know the Request Fields that are sent to Callback and further to the Tax Engine. The following diagram gives an overview of how information is sent from Product to the Tax Engine and received back after processing.

Tax input is a container which holds the following fields:

Item: Contains an Invoice Line Item or a Credit Memo Line Item
Handback: A generic wrapper class that can be used to pass an additional field value. Set the value for this field to TaxInputRelatedObjects. This class will contain the parent Invoice or Credit Memo based on whether the item contains an Invoice Line Item or a Credit Memo Line Item.
Tax Address: The address specified as the Shipping Address of the Ship To account. If there is no Shipping Address mentioned in the Ship To account, then the Billing Address of the Ship To account is used.
Note: If both the address of the Ship To account are missing, you need to cancel the invoice. Recreate the invoice after setting the proper address in the Ship To account.
Tax Code : This value is taken from the product PLI.
Taxable Amount: This is the amount to apply the tax to.

You can use Invoice Number as a Document Id when calling a Tax Engine. After processing, the Tax Results are sent to Conga Billing. Handback field holds the line item and error message (if any).

Note: If there is any error during the tax calculation because of which the Invoice is not approved, check out Error Status and Error Message fields on the Invoice to find out the reason behind the failure.

When communicating with a Tax Engine, you must note that:

The implementation of the Tax Callback must return a Apttus_Billing.CustomClass.TaxResultHandback object in the Handback field of a Tax Result.
The implementation of the Tax Callback must determine commit mode by checking if the status of the Invoice is Approved Pending.

You must register a Tax Callback class which is called for tax calculation on Invoice generation from Custom Settings.

To add the custom class

Go to Setup > App Setup > Develop > Apex Classes.
Click New.
Enter the sample callback class code.
Click Save.

Note: This is just a sample callback class. You may change the code per your requirements.
