AvaTax UI support for returning saved parameters in GetTransaction
The AvaTax UI filters out any parameters returned by GetTransaction that don’t have a Source = “Line.” Thus, ensuring AvaTax refetches all parameter information from the company profile if there’s any change. The refetch information can be line parameters, nexus, company info, or product details.
Two new reports for reconciling the lodging tax transaction data
Two new reports are added to the Transaction report section to reconcile the lodging tax transaction data. This report is currently available for limited users. The new reports are Sales tax summary by item code and Sales tax document export by item code.
Added Get Started Page (before Company Creation)
While onboarding, an AvaTax-only customer is welcomed with a Get started page having a list of setup tasks.
Added a new alert message to the Payment Methods tab on the Account page
For Returns only customers, an alert message on how to fund your returns appear on the Payments methods tab on the Account page. On This Topic
