Release 23.08.01

Solution

The AvaTax location features have been redesigned for better accuracy.
Each AvaTax transaction document can include the following fields, that can be mapped from SAP UDFs:

Reporting Location Code
- This is a field at header level in the AvaTax transaction, that will help to identify the transaction for location-based reporting requirements.
- The UDF created by the AvaTax add-on is U_ARGNS_LOCATION, at the document header level.

ShipFrom and ShipTo Location
- AvaTax allows you to define Locations in your console, that can be used in the ship-to and ship-from address details of your document transaction.
- In order to use this, you need to define the Location in yout AvaTax console.
- Then use the new provided UDFs at the document header level or line level for this purpose. UDFs are U_ARGNS_STLOCATION (ShipTo Location) and U_ARGNS_SFLOCATION (ShipFrom Location).
- Using a Location in the UDFs at LineLevel will overwrite a location defined at the document header level UDFs.
- Using a Location will overwrite any address details sent in the transaction, with the address defined in the AvaTax console for the location.

If enabled, postable documents (Invoices, CreditMemo's, AR Down Payment Invoices), will get the tax calculated and set in SAP, but the document will not be posted to AvaTax.
The solution will evaluate a configurable UDF value in the document, if the UDF has a value it will skip the commit phase of the document.
If the UDF is empty, the solution will follow the standard procedure, posting the document to AvaTax.
