Validating the Org Address in Avalara

You can validate your org address from the Tax Calculation Settings page. This checks whether the address is recognized by the US Postal Service. If the original address is not in the required format, Avalara AvaTax proposes a new address. If the address is not recognized, you can provide additional information to retrieve a valid address.

Notes:
  • Org address here refers to the fields defined in the Org Address custom setting. For more information, see Org Address.
  • The validation only works for addresses in the United States and Canada.

To validate your org address:

  1. Open the Foundations & Integrations Task Launcher tab.
  2. Click Tax Calculation Settings.
  3. In the SCM Settings section, click Validate Org Address.
  4. Click Validate. The address fields are checked against the Avalara AvaTax database and the fields in the Proposed Address section are updated.
  5. Review the updated fields in the Proposed Address section. Depending on the case, do one of the following:
    • If the proposed address is correct, click Save to accept any changes.
    • If the proposed address is incorrect, amend the proposed address fields and click Validate. When the correct address is displayed, click Save to accept the changes.
