This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to Avalara in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.

Connecting to Avalara

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Avalara and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud

Accessing Data from CData Cloud Services

Accessing data from Avalara through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.

Connect to Avalara by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.

Connecting to Avalara

By default, the Cloud connects to a production environment. Set UseSandbox to true to configure the Cloud to connect to a Avalara sandbox environment.

Authenticating to Avalara

There are two authentication methods available for connecting to the Avalara data source: Basic and LicenseKey.

Login Credentials

To use login credentials for authentication, set the following:

• AuthScheme: Set this to Basic.
• User: Set this to your Avalara username.
• Password: Set this to your Avalara password.

Account Number and License Key

Alternatively, you can authenticate using your account number and license key. Connect to the data source using the following:

• AuthScheme: Set this to LicenseKey.
• AccountId: Set this to your Avalara Account Id. The Account Id is listed in the upper right-hand corner of the Avalara admin console.
• LicenseKey: Set this to your Avalara license key. You can generate a license key by logging into Avalara as an account adminstrator and navigating to Settings > Reset License Key.

Fine Tuning Data Access

You can use the following properties to gain more control over the data returned from Avalara:

• CompanyCode: Only transaction information tied to this company code will be returned.
• IncludeAdjustedTransactions: Set this to true to include adjusted transactions in the transaction listing.

Customizing the SSL Configuration

By default, the Cloud attempts to negotiate TLS with the server. The server certificate is validated against the default system trusted certificate store. You can override how the certificate gets validated using the SSLServerCert connection property.

To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert connection property.

Connecting Through a Firewall or Proxy

HTTP Proxies

To authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set the following:

• ProxyServer: the hostname or IP address of the proxy server that you want to route HTTP traffic through.
• ProxyPort: the TCP port that the proxy server is running on.
• ProxyAuthScheme: the authentication method the Cloud uses when authenticating to the proxy server.
• ProxyUser: the username of a user account registered with the proxy server.
• ProxyPassword: the password associated with the ProxyUser.

Other Proxies

Set the following properties:

• To use a proxy-based firewall, set FirewallType, FirewallServer, and FirewallPort.
• To tunnel the connection, set FirewallType to TUNNEL.
• To authenticate, specify FirewallUser and FirewallPassword.
• To authenticate to a SOCKS proxy, additionally set FirewallType to SOCKS5.

Overview

This section shows the available API objects and provides more information on executing SQL to Avalara APIs.

Key Features

• The Cloud models Avalara entities as relational views, allowing you to write SQL to query Avalara data.
• Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to Avalara.
• Live connectivity to these objects means any changes to your Avalara account are immediately reflected when using the Cloud.

Tables

Tables describes the available tables. Tables are statically defined to model Accounts, Transactions, Users, and more.

Views

Views describes the available views. Views are statically defined to model Reports, Subscriptions, and more.

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to Avalara. Stored procedures allow you to execute operations to Avalara, including downloading documents and moving envelopes.

The Cloud models the data in Avalara as a list of tables in a relational database that can be queried using standard SQL statements.

CData Cloud - Avalara Tables

Accounts table for AvalaraAvatax data provider.

Select

The Cloud 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 Cloud. For example, the following query is processed server side:

SELECT * FROM Accounts WHERE accountStatusId = 'Active' AND accountTypeId = 'Regular1'

Insert

To add an Account.

INSERT INTO Accounts (id, name, effectiveDate, accountStatusId, accountTypeId) VALUES ('12345', 'Test Account', '2019-06-24T00:00:00+00:00', 'Test', 'Regular')

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 Cloud. 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'
