Tax professionals and project managers responsible for setting up and maintaining Tax Decision Maker (TDM), and IT personnel who want a high-level overview of Vertex Q Series system functionality and details of TDM capabilities

Note: Vertex also offers a Vertex Q Series for Systems course, designed for technology personnel responsible for supporting Vertex products.

Description

This course focuses on Vertex Q Series, Vertex's client/server tax compliance system. It works with your host financial application to determine the correct tax amount by searching its databases for exceptions, the appropriate taxing jurisdiction, and the correct tax rate. Vertex Q Series then calculates the tax amount and passes this information back to the host system for invoicing. The transaction data is stored in the Register Database and is used to create audit and management reports, and to prepare tax returns.

Agenda includes:

• Product overview
• Understanding GeoCode location coding
• Use the Taxability Mapping Tool (TMT) to define and maintain your company's product taxability exceptions
• Using the TDM to customize the system
• Using the Lookup program
• Identifying information that should be passed through the Application Programmer Interface (API)
• Using the Register Databases utilities
• Updating the Rate and GeoCoder databases
• Producing audit and Register reports
• Hands on software demonstration
