VERSION

version 0.020

SYNOPSIS

use WebService::Avalara::AvaTax::Service::Tax;

my $avatax = WebService::Avalara::AvaTax::Service::Tax->new(

DESCRIPTION

This class implements basic support for the Avalara AvaTax (http://developer.avalara.com/api-docs/soap) tax engine service using SOAP. Most of its mechanics are in WebService::Avalara::AvaTax::Role::Connection, with defaults for certain attributes as listed below.

ATTRIBUTES

uri

The URI of the WSDL file used to define the web service. Defaults to /tax/taxsvc.wsdl, with the URI base either https://avatax.avalara.net/ if is_production returns true, or https://development.avalara.net/ if it returns false.

Note that if use_wss is false, the alternate security WSDL file /tax/taxsvcaltsec.wsdl will be used instead.

port

The SOAP port identifier (not to be confused with the TCP/IP port) used in the WSDL file at "uri". Defaults to AddressSvcSoap.

service

The SOAP service name used in the WSDL file at "uri". Defaults to AddressSvc.

WORKAROUNDS FOR INCORRECT AVALARA RESPONSES

As of this writing the Avalara SOAP API returns responses that are inconsistent with the WSDL document provided. Specifically, the TaxIncluded and GeocodeType fields in the GetTaxResponse are wrongly placed in their sequences of fields. This module adds an overlay to the Avalara tax service WSDL file that attempts to work around these problems so that the responses may be successfully parsed.
