Applying DST (Direct Sales Tax) to your Media Campaigns within ADvendio is an automated, synchronised process. DST can be set up currently based on the selling country and requires a few configuration steps before it can be used. 

All steps below must be completed before DST can be used and applied within your org:

Steps to follow:

In order to set up the correct calculation of DST for your Media Campaigns and Invoices you have to do the following steps:

1. Prepare Picklists/Record Types - Update Customers Only

Please ensure that the picklist "Taxable Amount Type" was set to the relevant base amount ( also relevant for VAT calculation).

The field is present at the objects:

• Media Campaign,

• Campaign Item,

• Invoice,

• Invoice Item and

• Legal Entity.

If you set the Default of these picklists to none you can alternatively use the following Feature Setting to set a Standard value:

2. Manage Custom Setting - DST

As mentioned above, you can create DST settings only on the selling country basis. Based on the number of selling countries you will need to create the custom settings.

To create or edit a custom DST setting do this:

1. Navigate to Setup > Custom Code > Custom Settings (Classic: Setup > Develop > Custom Settings)

2. Select DST > Manage

3. Click New or Edit next to existing records.

4. Enter a Name for this DST information, for instance, use "Austria_2022".

5. Enter the Rate in %, for instance, use "5" or "10".  

6. Use the Seller Country field to determine the country for the DST Rate to be applicable. If you only sell from one country this is the only setting you will need to create.

7. Enter Valid From and Valid to, if this DST setting is valid in a specific time frame.

8. Click the button Save.

Please make sure that the entered values for Seller Country are identical to those in the Company Profile / Legal Entity. Otherwise, the system will not be able to match the correct DST Rate!

3. Define your Seller's Country

3a. Legal Entities

Navigate to the object Legal Entities. Open all your records and enter the 

1. Country ISO Code (recommended!) or alternatively use the free text field 

2. Country

If the Country ISO Code is used, custom setting Country should also contain the country code. Otherwise it uses the country name which should match.

Open

3b. Salesforce Organisation's country

If you are not using Legal entities please make sure that you have entered a country in your Salesforce Organisation as the system will choose your Salesforce Org's country/state as Seller Country. You will find this under Setup > Company Information. Make sure to fill the Address field Country with the 2-digit Alpha ISO Code of your country. List can be found here: http://data.okfn.org/data/core/country-list

4. Set DST in all relevant Ad Specs
