Treatment of tax releases of NAV 2009 SP1 in NAV 2009 R2

ssingla

Service Management in Indian localization was unable to satisfy the requirement of Indian taxes. Microsoft released a tax release having title as "Service Management with IN Localisation" with the following Overview

Current version of NAV doesn’t support the service management with India localisation tax calculation. This problem arised due to change in table structure in W1 product where core has introduced new set of tables and code units to post the service order / invoice / credit memo separately instead of using sale header and sales line table. This feature will allow user to calculate the Indian taxation for service management module

The tax release has not been incorporated in R2 ](*,) ](*,)

Would like to have the opinion of the experts in this regard.
Thanks for contributing.

I can understand your frustration but MS always said that R2 will be an EXE-only update and will bring no functional changes. That is why it's called R2 and not SP2.

But yes, it would have been nice to get a complete set of objects including all Additions/Hotfixes.

Will this mean that Hotfix and Tax release of NAV 2009 SP1 will be seprately released for R2?

Codebase of R2 is still 2009 SP1. If there is a hotfix existing for SP1 it was not incorporated into R2. You will have to implement the hotfix manually.

That will mean any new customer will have to pay for R2 and then service charge for manual merging of tax supplements. I have observed that 4 tax supplements are mandatory to generate statutory returns.
