Orders synchronization

The AvalaraTax module creates AvaTax transactions for orders and enables scheduled synchronization of VC Platform orders with AvaTax.

It creates a SalesInvoice transaction for orders, where:

• Document code matches order number.
• Document date matches order date.
• Line items contain all line items from the order plus one more line item for the shipping.

You can send the order to AvaTax:

• Automatically:
  • Enable the Avalara.Tax.ScheduledOrdersSynchronization.IsEnabled setting.
  • Adjust the schedule in the Avalara.TaxScheduledOrdersSynchronization.CronExpression setting.
  • Wait for the job to complete.

• Manually:

  • For a single order:

    1. In the main menu, click Orders to open the Order details blade.
    2. Click the required order.
    3. In the Edit order details blade, click the AvaTax widget.
    4. Click Send to AvaTax in the Details of AvaTax transaction blade.
    5. The report of the process results appears in the next blade.

    

  • For multiple orders:

    1. In the main menu, click Orders to open the Order details blade.
    2. Check the required orders.
    3. Click Send to AvaTax in the top menu.
    4. The report of the process results appears in the next blade. The orders are sent to Avalara only for the stores that use AvaTax as their tax provider.

    

Note

• Set AvaTax as a tax provider for your store to send transactions to AvaTax.

To review the AvaTax transaction details for the order, click the AvaTax widget in the order details blade.

It displays:

• The date the order was sent to AvaTax.
• The link to the AvaTax transaction corresponding to the order.
• Raw AvaTax transaction representation.
