E Appendix: Tax Service Integration Avalara

This section describes the configurations for the tax service integration Avalara.

Overview

Avalara is the external tax service for Xstore. Avalara provides tax data in mnt data format. Xstore Office reaches out to this external tax service to fetch data periodically or on-demand.

For Xstore Office Cloud Service the integrations are managed by the Integration Management UI, see the Integration Management section.

The integration configurations are saved in cfg_integration and cfg_integration_p tables of Xadmin.

The Avalara Data Tax Service is secured by using Basic Auth. The credentials to this service are configurable through the Integration Management Xadmin UI.

Avalara on-demand functionality is secured by the user privilege CFG_AVATAX_DATA_REFRESH.
