Avalara: Documentation Roadmap

Avalara: Documentation Roadmap

Release Date: 4/28/23
Updated: 9/7/23
Version: 8.6 and Above

Introduction

Elliott Business Software previously supports Vertex for national sales tax collection. Starting Elliott V8.6, we are favoring Avalara over Vertex. Existing Vertex users should make plan to migrate to our Avalara interface.  Unlike our previous Vertex implementation, Avalara solution is cloud based. Elliott's Avalara Tax Integration allows you to integrate with Avalara's tax solution to track your tax liabilities and validate shipping addresses with rooftop accuracy across more than 13,000 U.S. tax jurisdictions. Elliott supports product taxability rules at the item, product category, and user defined code level. Tax exemption categories are supported at the customer, ship-to, and customer type levels.
 
For a quick overview of key principals in designing Elliott Avalara integration, please refer to  our Design Principles article.
