Understanding PeopleSoft Integration With Taxware Enterprise

PeopleSoft communicates with Taxware Enterprise through the PeopleSoft Integration Broker. To integrate with the Taxware Enterprise tax solution, you must perform the following configuration steps:

  1. Set up your local integration gateway and load the gateway connectors.

    The Integration Broker uses the HTTPTARGET connector to communicate with Taxware Enterprise.

    See PeopleTools: Integration Broker, Managing Integration Gateways.

  2. Activate the TAX_INTEGRATION service operation queue.

  3. Activate the service operations and routings:

    • GET_GEOCODE_REQ

    • DO_TAXCALC_REQ

    See Managing Service Operations, PeopleTools: Integration Broker

    See Managing Routing Definitions, PeopleTools: Integration Broker

  4. Activate the PSFT_TAX node.

  5. Set Taxware as the Tax Supplier on the PeopleSoft Financials/Supply Chain Installation Options page and set the appropriate Taxware Enterprise options on the Tax Provider Installation page.

    See Setting Up PeopleSoft Installation Options for Taxware Enterprise.

    Note: When you switch from one Tax Supplier Application to another, such as switching from Taxware Sales and Use Tax to Taxware Enterprise, any geocodes associated with address records in the PeopleSoft database must be upgraded before tax calculations can be sent to the tax supplier software. The Tax Provider Installation page will display the geocode upgrade process status. You should run the process, allow it to complete successfully, or fix any errors that occur, before proceeding.

  6. Configure Billing, Order Management, and Purchasing business units to calculate sales and use taxes through a tax supplier and set business-unit level tax supplier options.
