Transactions
Transactions table for AvalaraAvatax data provider.
Select
The driver will use the Avalara API to process WHERE clause conditions built with the following columns and operators. Most of the columns support server side filtering with the following operators: =,>,<,<=,>=,IN,NOT,IN,AND,OR,LIKE. The rest of the filter is executed client side within the driver. By default the Adjusted transactions will not be listed. If you want to include them, you need to set IncludeAdjustedTransactions to true.
For example, the following query is processed server side:
SELECT * FROM Transactions WHERE AdjustmentReason = 'PriceAdjusted' SELECT * FROM Items WHERE Status = 'Cancelled'
Insert
To add a new Transaction item, the following columns need to be specified: CustomerCode, Date, Type, LinkedLines, Code, LinkedAddresses. If you want to commit the transaction, set the Commit flag in the request to true. The linked columns can be inserted using a #TEMP table or by passing the aggregate value.
The LinkedAddresses aggregate must include information about the origin and destination address. If this transaction occurred at a retail point-of-sale location, provide that single address here and leave all other address types null. If origin differs from destination, insert both ShipFrom and ShipTo address types. If you wish to use the address of an existing location for the actual company, specify the address in the addressType_locationCode field.
The examples below illustrate the aforementioned scenarios.
Inserting LinkedAddresses aggregate through #TEMP table with SingleLocation:
INSERT INTO Addresses#TEMP (SingleLocation_line1, SingleLocation_City, SingleLocation_County, SingleLocation_PostalCode) VALUES ('2000 Main Street', 'Irvine', 'US', 92614)")
INSERT INTO Addresses#TEMP (SingleLocation_locationCode) VALUES ('LC001')")
Inserting LinkedAddresses aggregate through #TEMP table with ShipFrom and ShipTo locations:
INSERT INTO Addresses#TEMP (shipTo_line1, shipTo_City, shipTo_County, shipTo_PostalCode, shipFrom_line1, shipFrom_City, shipFrom_Country, shipFrom_PostalCode) VALUES ('2000 Main Street', 'Irvine', 'US', 92614, '', '', 'US', '')")
INSERT INTO Addresses#TEMP (shipTo_locationCode, shipFrom_locationCode) VALUES ('LC001', 'LC002')")
Insert line items aggregate using #TEMP table. For a list of the columns you can insert into the temporary table, refer to TransactionLines table.
INSERT INTO TransactionLines#TEMP (ItemCode, Quantity, LineAmount) VALUES ('IC005', 3, 300)")
Insert into the main Transactions table :
INSERT INTO Transactions (LinkedLines, LinkedAddresses, Code, CompanyId, CustomerCode, Date, Type, Commit, TotalTax) VALUES (TransactionLines#TEMP, Addresses#TEMP, DC008, 247015, 'CC002', '09/30/2019', 'SalesInvoice', true, 12.0)")
Update
Avalara allows updates on Transactions. To update a transaction, AdjustmentReason and Adjustment description are required fields. Additionally, you need to specify the Code of the transaction you are updating in the WHERE clause.
Similarly, to Insert, you can update line items using temporary tables. To update an existing line, include the LineNumber of the line you wish to update. To insert a new line in the transaction, set the LineNumber to a new, non-existing value.
When a transaction is updated, the actual transaction's status changes to Adjusted and a new transaction with the updated information is created. The new transaction will have the same document code, but a different id and status: Saved or Commited. If you wish to commit the new updated transaction, set the Commit flag in the request to true.
INSERT INTO TransactionLines#TEMP (ItemCode, Quantity, LineAmount, LineNumber) VALUES (IC007, 3, 300, 3) UPDATE Transactions SET LinkedLines = 'TransactionLines#TEMP', AdjustmentDescription = 'MyDescription', AdjustmentReason = 'PriceAdjusted' WHERE Code = '051349'
