AVATAX GETS SKU-LEVEL TAX MAPPING Featured

Mark Wilhelm, AvalaraAvalara has introduced functionality into its AvaTax engine that can provide taxability data at the SKU or item level. The capability for the cloud-based system is based on pre-mapped Universal Product Codes, utilizing the sales tax database acquired with the company's purchase last year of UPC MatrixMaster. The new function was initially launched for Dynamics AX and NAV users this month. "Additional connectors will likely be added on an as-needed basis," says Mark Wilhelm, Avalara's director of program management for connectors.

"More importantly, UPC content is available to all partners and customers via the AvaTax Service. All SDKs can send UPCs to access Avalara taxability content maintained for the MatrixMaster database." Wilhelm says mapping will also be introduced into every Avalara POS Connector gradually. Wilhelm notes, "a UPC code alleviates the customer having to do any mapping for taxability." Avalara says most accounting and ERP packages  do not automatically determine the taxability of items using Universal Product Codes, and taxability is managed manually.
