Enabling promotions in Taxware

If you want to use promotions in WebSphere Commerce and have Taxware calculate tax based on the discounted prices instead of the original prices, enable promotions in Taxware.

Procedure

  1. Create a backup copy of the Taxware_installdir\indata\taxdscpd discount file.
  2. Open the taxdscpd file in a text editor.
    This discount file contains a code to indicate if the discount is exempt in each state. The codes are 1 (subtract the discount from the gross before tax calculation) and 0 (do not subtract the discount from the gross before tax calculation). These codes are positional, based on Taxware's numeric state code.
  3. Change all occurrences of 0 in the file to 1.
  4. Save the file and restart WebSphere Commerce.
