For Zoho Services only:


I'm actually part of something bigger at Ascent Business Solutions recognized as the top Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom.

Ascent Business Solutions offer support for smaller technical fixes and projects for larger developments, such as migrating to a ZohoCRM.  A team rather than a one-man-band is always available to ensure seamless progress and address any concerns. You'll find our competitive support rates with flexible, no-expiration bundles at https://ascentbusiness.co.uk/zoho-services/uk-zoho-support.  For larger projects, talk to our experts and receive dedicated support from our hands-on project consultants at https://ascentbusiness.co.uk/zoho-services/zoho-crm-implementation.

The team I manage specializes in coding API integrations between Zoho and third-party finance/commerce suites such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay; to name but a few.  Our passion lies in creating innovative solutions where others have fallen short as well as working with new businesses, new sectors, and new ideas.  Our success is measured by the growth and ROI we deliver for clients, such as transforming a garden shed hobby into a 250k monthly turnover operation or generating a +60% return in just three days after launch through online payments and a streamlined e-commerce solution, replacing a paper-based system.

If you're looking for a partner who can help you drive growth and success, we'd love to work with you.  You can reach out to us on 0121 392 8140 (UK) or info@ascentbusiness.co.uk.  You can also visit our website at https://ascentbusiness.co.uk.

Zoho CRM: Standard Setup for Tax Rates

What?
This is an article for training purposes. I'm pretty sure there is official documentation on how to do this but I thought I'd write this article to make it simpler for new developers to follow and learn as a quick point of reference.

Why?
Some clients systems will presume that they don't need their sales or CRM users to think about tax and probably manage it in Zoho Books leaving it to their finance team. This is a quick run-through for a standard setup to include UK tax/vat.

How?
Here's a quick step-by-step to follow:
  1. Login to ZohoCRM as an Administrator
  2. Go to Setup > Customization > Modules and Fields
  3. Hover the mouse cursor over the "Products" module and then over the ellipsis
  4. Click on "Customize Tax Rates"

  5. For our clients in the UK, we tend to specify the tax rates as "Standard Tax" @ 20% and a "Zero Vat" @ 0%

  6. Click on "Save" and you've pretty much specified the tax rates that this CRM can use; but... do the next steps for users to be able to use these.
Done, sorta
To have this selectable for users in their transactional modules (quotes, sales orders, invoices, purchase orders), you need to modify each product record (can be done with "Mass Update") to give them the applicable tax rates:
  1. Browse to a CRM product record (you can do mass edit on a listview of products but for demo purposes, we'll do just one)
  2. Under Price Information, edit the field "Tax" (multi-select) and select both tax rates

  3. Now go to a transactional module that has line items and use the product
  4. When you click on the edit icon in the line item "Tax" you will see both options available to be ticked, the same popup will appear if you click on the edit icon in the header "Tax" (applies to subtotal).

Note:
  • If you do not do the second section as per this article, even having customized the tax rates, when selecting a product that has no tax rates against it and clicking on the edit icon for Tax at the line item level (at header level is unaffected and all tax rates are selectable: in the aggregate fields section), the user will get a popup saying something like "No tax associated with this product.".
