Follow these steps to get Global Tax Determination data directly from the Snowflake database.

1. Enter the link, username, and password in a new window and log in to Snowflake.
   This information is provided provided by Professional Services during the implementation phase.
2. Take one of the following steps:
   • Download and edit sample queries of the following Sovos reports: Simplified Transaction Detail Report, Transaction Report by Line Item, Transaction Report by Line Item and Taxing Jurisdiction.

     1. Go to Projects > Worksheets.

     2. On the main screen, click the Download icon, then select SQL Worksheet.

     3. Make sure that your user role is either SYSADMIN or ACCOUNTADMIN and that the correct warehouse is selected.

     4. Copy the text of the sample query and paste it into the SQL worksheet.

     5. Follow the instructions included in the sample query to set the variables and execute the query.

     6. After you have successfully queried the database, the query results will appear in the Results section. To download the data, click the Download results icon, then select a format.

     7. The results will be downloaded to your computer. The file will have the same name as the SQL worksheet.

   • Write your own queries.
     • If modifying one of the Global Tax Determination Cloud reports does not give you the data you need, you can create a custom query. Snowflake offers extensive SQL support to manipulate data beyond what is possible in Global Tax Determination Cloud reports.
     • The following table includes some short example queries that show how you might pull, filter, and order data. You can also check the Reference section of the Snowflake documentation for supported SQL commands and functions.
     • When you have written your query, follow the instructions in the previous step option, Download and edit sample queries, to query the database, using your custom query instead of the sample.
