Performance improvements focused on external calculation mode on documents with several lines and draft documents.
A new customization is available to user a Sales Document Header field value, SAP native or UDF, as a Reference when sending the document to Avalara.
The value is sent in the Reference field of the Avalara transaction, and it’s visible from the Avalara web console.
If you intend to use this feature, you must check the box to enable it, and complete the marketing document field name you intend to use.
As requested by Avalara, the connector is updated to NOT send by default address geo coordinates: latitude and longitude in tax calculations.

It is now possible to use any of the Business Partner Master Data User Defined Field value as the Avalara Customer Code for tax transactions.
The field can be selected from the Avatax Settings:
