Document total discount was not copied from base documents in some scenarios.
Fixes were applied to copy the base document discount as expected.

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.
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.
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 is no longer required, as the Avalara service only works with enabled accounts.
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.
The Avatax Event Service now works with the custom address read from UDF fields.
Settings are managed from the add-on settings, and behave in the same way as in the SAP B1 add-on.
After any change in the settings, you need to restart the Avatax Event Service to get the configuration refreshed.
