SCM Tax Calculation Settings Fields

Field

Description

Company Code The code that represents your company in Avalara. This is used when calculating tax for all document types.
Tax Code for Freight Invoice Lines The Avalara tax code used for invoice line items of type "Freight". If you specify a value, it is automatically copied to the freight invoice line items when calculating tax for the invoice. The tax code can increase the precision when calculating tax.
Tax Code for Miscellaneous Invoice Lines The Avalara tax code used for invoice line items of type "Miscellaneous". If you specify a value, it is automatically copied to the freight invoice line items when calculating tax for the invoice. The tax code can increase the precision when calculating tax.
Address Validation Country Code Filter

Comma-separated list of countries that you can validate addresses for.

The Avalara AvaTax address validation service only works with addresses in the United States and Canada. If you leave this field blank, when a user tries to validate an address, the connector calls the Avalara service. If the address is outside the US or Canada, Avalara always returns an error. You can avoid unnecessary calls to Avalara by providing a list of countries that you want the addresses to be validated for.

If your organization operates in both the US and Canada, we recommend entering the following value: United States,United States of America,US,USA,America,Canada,CA.

Automatic Tax Calculation Settings

In the Automatic Tax Calculation section you can enable automatic tax calculation when performing specific actions. The action depends on the object.
