Due to known performance issues with SAP v10 when using DI-API, we implemented a new interface for using the SAP Service Layer API within the AvaTax solution for complex processes.
On this version, the External Calculation mode now supports working through Service Layer. The expected result is the same as before, but the time required to complete the process is substantially lower.
We are glad to announce we have integrated our Avatax Document Generation Wizard process to include logic provided by LBSi for their ShipVia Freight Optimizer Solution.
The Freight Optimizer Solution is able to set freight charges to documents like AR Invoices before it’s manual creation.
Logic fix to correctly use a different warehouse address as origin address from header level document Freights on tax calculation.
The CertCapture Customers module now includes new filters for business partner properties, to help selecting and updating customer records in CertCapture.
A new feature was added to report Ship-To states and create Exposure Zones in CertCapture. By checking this option (highlighted below at the bottom right of the module), the add-on will Upsert (create or update) the customer record, and declare the Ship-To States for all of the defined ship-to addresses in SAP Business One.
Added new setting to control how the Enter key press behaves in marketing documents. Previous behavior was to automatically try to calculate taxes. Now with this setting is possible to disable the feature and don’t raise the calculation on Enter pressed.
The upsert process for SAP customers to CertCapture in this module was improved and now works as a background task, not freezing the SAP B1 User Interface, to avoid issues on long lasting synchronization processes.
Added new filter for Business Partner groups in Bulk Address Validation Module.
Added new filter for Customer Groups in CertCapture Customers management module.
A new option is included in the Document Generation Wizard, to choose if want the wizard to close the base document after generating the new one, or not.
Default DGW behavior was to force SAP to close the base document (manual close) after generating the new document. This is usually required for customers using the tax calculated as Freight, customers processing partial invoicing, who needs to make sure the base document is closed after generating a new document, no matter if open lines or freights remains in the base document.
Added support to use Tax Code Override for service-type documents.
New feature included in the solution to have a special mileage tax calculated by the add-on in SAP, not by Avalara.
This tax has to be calculated on a specific state (i.e. California), and must apply over Items with a matching value in a customizable UDF.
The calculated tax is not calculated by Avalara. It’s calculated in the SAP side, and is added to the document as an Item Line, for all of the calculations modes.
Configuration
CertCapture. Fix for customers creating or updating module.
