AvaTax 26.3.2.0 — Enhancements
Improved address display for transactions using Point of Order Origin (PoA) We’ve improved how addresses are displayed in AvaTax transaction details when a Point of Order Origin (PoA) address is used.
Previously, if a PoA address with latitude and longitude was included in the transaction, AvaTax correctly used it for tax calculation. However, the transaction details page displayed the PoA address as the Ship From location instead of the original address submitted in the request.
With this enhancement, AvaTax will now display the Ship From address exactly as it was provided in the transaction, while continuing to use the appropriate address for tax calculation.
What this means for you:
- More accurate visibility into the addresses you submit
- Clearer alignment between your transaction and what is shown in AvaTax
- No impact to tax calculation results
Greater flexibility for parent and child company configuration
We’ve introduced an enhancement to give you more control over how settings are inherited between parent and child companies in AvaTax.
Previously, when a child company inherited settings from a parent company, Advanced Transaction Rules and Reference Lists were not included automatically. This limited flexibility for organizations that wanted to manage these configurations independently.
With this update, inheritance of Advanced Transaction Rules and Reference Lists is now optional.
What this means for you:
- Child companies can now choose whether to inherit Advanced Rules and Reference Lists from the parent.
- If not enabled, child companies can manage their own rules and lists independently.
- This allows more precise control over tax configuration, especially in complex enterprise structures.
- Advanced Rules and their associated Reference Lists will always be applied only when the child company is inheriting the profile of the parent company to ensure consistent tax calculation.
- There is no change to existing behavior unless you choose to enable this new option.
- Other inheritance settings (such as nexus and core tax configurations) remain unchanged.
