Clear previous tax calculations

Previously, when you had a document with tax calculated by Avatax, you change the calculation mode (Line Item, Additional Expense, External Tax), you could get a document with incorrect tax if don’t manually clear the previous calculation.

Now this feature has been included in the solution logic, and the calculation process takes cares of reviewing the full document, and clearing previous existing calculations before completing the new calculation and setting the tax with the configured mode.

The Avatax solution has been “Qualified” for integration with SAP Business One Cloud hosted by SAP successfully.

If you run SAP with this mode, you can follow this steps to get Avatax available in your SAP Cloud Instance:

Fix for empty freight lines

The SAP client adds an empty line on the freights window in some situations. The Avatax add-on now handle this without errors.

Fix for DGW. Document discount

Document total discount was not copied from base documents in some scenarios.

Fixes were applied to copy the base document discount as expected.

This version is compatible from SAP 9.2 to SAP 9.3PL 11.

Fix for AR-DownPayment Reconcile

AR-DownPayment lines in SAP are always not liable.

Lines will be send to Avalara also as not-liable (exempt) to keep a clear logic and maintain same document information in SAP and Avatax.

This version is compatible from SAP 9.2 to SAP 9.3PL 11.

Fix for line item discounts for DGW

A fix was applied to avoid SAP calculating a line discount when prices are configured with several decimal places (4 or more), on the Document Generation Wizard module.

Expected behavior is to have the line item discount set on every line of the new document with the exact value defined in the base document.

This version is compatible from SAP 9.2 to SAP 9.3PL 11.

Item Code Configurable

The item code to be sent to Avalara is now configurable.

This version is compatible from SAP 9.2 to SAP 9.3PL 11.

Add-On Licensing removed

Add-on licensing is no longer required, as the Avalara service only works with enabled accounts.

Exempt based on document UDF

New feature to exempt documents based on an UDF at document header level.

This is intended for customers who wants to exempt specific documents on isolated cases, without marking customers or addresses as exempt.

A setting is available to turn the functionality on or off. If it’s disabled then the UDF will be ignored.
