How Vertex O Series connects to Infor CloudSuite
Configuration documented in Infor product documentation
Infor's CloudSuite documentation covers configuring Vertex O Series. The source page is for one CloudSuite release family, so check the guide for your product and version for field names and screens.
Tax calculation call at transaction time
In this pattern the ERP sends a transaction (parties, addresses, items, amounts) to the tax engine, which returns tax amounts and jurisdictions. Tax is stored on the ERP document and reported through the ERP.
What data moves
| From | To | Data | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infor CloudSuite | Vertex O Series | Customer or vendor, ship-from and ship-to addresses, item tax class, amounts | Order, invoice or purchase document tax calculation |
| Vertex O Series | Infor CloudSuite | Tax amounts, rates and jurisdictions | Calculation response |
| Infor CloudSuite | Vertex O Series | Posted transactions for tax records | Invoice posting or period end |
| Infor CloudSuite | Vertex O Series | Customer exemption certificate references | Customer master change |

Frequently asked questions
Where is the Vertex configuration documented?
Infor documents it in its CloudSuite product documentation. The page we reference is for one release family, so find the matching guide for your product and version on docs.infor.com before you plan configuration or testing.
Does Vertex handle VAT as well as US sales tax?
Vertex describes O Series as covering sales and use tax, VAT and industry-specific rules. How much of that you use in Infor depends on your product, regions and the licensed Vertex modules.
Can AI help reconcile tax without cloud exposure?
Yes. A model on your own servers can read ERP invoices and the tax engine's results to explain differences. It should not change tax settings; any correction goes to a tax analyst for approval.
