Taxes & Tax Mapping
Correct tax mapping is a prerequisite for error-free prices and orders. The connector links the BC VAT Product Posting Groups with the Shopware tax rates.
Basic principle
During the item upload, the connector uses the item's VAT Product Posting Group to determine the matching Shopware tax rate (taxId). If no mapping exists, the default tax ID from the configuration is used.
Setup
Load taxes
Use Load Shopware Initial Data to import the Shopware tax rates and tax rules.
Maintain the item tax mapping
In Shopware Assignment & Mapping (module Item Tax Mapping), assign the matching Shopware tax ID to each VAT Product Posting Group.
Set the default tax
Enter a default tax ID in the configuration as a fallback.
Tax-exempt products & order tax
A separate tax-exempt group can be defined for tax-exempt products.
For orders, the settings Use VAT, VAT Business Posting Group and VAT Product Posting Group determine how taxes are calculated on the document. For details, see Order Configuration.
Check the tax mapping before the first large item upload. Otherwise, an incorrect mapping will result in incorrect prices in the shop.
Use the Reset VAT Mapping action in the configuration to rebuild the tax mappings if required.
