Is it possible to create and register an external tax provider plugin in the Cloud version of Acumatica?

You should be able to - I did it with Avalara for Communications a few years ago.

I wonder if you need to have turned on External Tax Calculation Integration in Enable/Disable Features first.

​@Django That is switched on already.  I’m really stumped as to how to get this to work.

Thanks for your reply.

​@Dmitrii Naumov - do you have any insights for Phil?

​@Dmitrii Naumov  It’s plain code in the Customization package which calls a separate dll for the api calls to the external provider so I will try to compile the taxprovider coee into a dll also. The version is the same as we were just upgraded from 23r2 to 24r2 and I made sure the local acumatica was the same buiild. The cloud instance is a sandbox setup for us to test before the upgrade which we are now using tempoarily to test this plugin.

I have now managed to get it to work by adding an sql script to insert the necessary record in the TaxPlugin table.  Once I insert that it works as expected in a sales order.. Ideally I didn’t want to have to go that route.

​@Dmitrii Naumov Compiling the customization as a dll was the solution.  Once I did that the plugin appeared in the list as expected and appears to be working correctly.

Thanks for your help,

Phil
