Good day, 

Avalara has the ability to calculate sales tax by entering the Latitude/Longitude manually.  My question is does the Acumatica - Avalara integration set up to pass this information from the Project Address tab.  

Some of our projects have a state/city/ postal code but not actually address just a location on a pipeline.

I have seen any documents or announcements.

Thank you

Acumatica is using the below functions for getting the to/from addresses for Pro-Forma invoice tax calculations.

The functions return `IAddressLocation` “type” response and that interface includes Latitude and Longitude besides standard Address fields.

 

So based on that, the latitude/longitude are sent to Avalara, but I am not sure if Avalara will reply with proper taxes if only latitude/longitude are sent and everything else is left blank.

I know for sure that it works when only Postal Code is sent, but never tried with Latitude/Longitude only.

@Samvel Petrosov  Thank you for the information.

We are having the same problem, but Acumatica is not sending with only GPS coordinates. We are receiving an error stating that more address information is required. We do oilfield work, so GPS coordinates are all we have.  If we remove the revenue tax zone on the project of “Avatax”, Acumatica will send the GPS coordinates only, but then Avalara is defaulting back to the ship from address instead of using the coordinates set in the ship to address.

@grillevan - Did you ever find a solution to this? We are having the same trouble. We work in the oilfield so our locations don’t have anything except coordinates and we are struggling with Acumatica sending just that information, I am getting an error stating that we need more address information.
