ShipEasy Integration features

Add-On

New functionalities were added to ShipEasy integration logic. This behavior applies when creating new documents using the Document Generation Wizard.

When Add ShipEasy Expense Amount as a Freight is enabled, the value setted in the base document header UDF U_TWBS_UPSExpense is copied to the target document, and set to the selected Freight for ShipEasy expense amount additional expense.

Performance improvements

Performance improvements focused on external calculation mode on documents with several lines and draft documents.

Send transaction reference

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.

Addresses Geo Coordinates

As requested by Avalara, the connector is updated to NOT send by default address geo coordinates: latitude and longitude in tax calculations.

This is due to the Streamlines Sales Tax (SST) functionalities implemented by Avalara, that require not including geo coordinates in regular tax calculations, and only request calculations using street level information.

Use Business Partner UDF as Customer Code

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:

Fix for Cancellation documents

Fixes were added for AR Cancellation Invoices when using the External Tax Mode.

DGW Draft process

The Document Generation Wizard now is capable to process draft documents and create “real” documents.

When selecting the new Draft Document checkbox as the base type, the base documents will be the same type as the target type, for example base draft AR Invoices to create Invoices.

Minor fixes

Fix to set calculated tax rate to Line UDF when multiple lines with the same ItemCode are in the document. Only affecting to Line and AdditionalExpense tax mode.

Fix to recalculate tax on some draft documents. For ExternalTax calculation mode.
