A client bill needs more than a single tax rate. The service, buyer location, and selling business all shape the result. AvaTax uses the details you send and the tax profile set for that business. Build the custom workflow around the same lines and dates your team uses to bill the client.
Start with a tax estimate while the bill is in draft. Recheck the result when the price, address, or service changes. Your team then reviews the total and sends the bill through the agreed billing path. Use one owner for the tax amount so each line gets the right treatment once.
AvaTax has a distinct step for tax records used in reports. Save an uncommitted SalesInvoice in this billing path. Commit it at the agreed point when the bill is final. Keep the bill ID, company code, and tax record together.
