Overview

AvaTax for Communications (AFC) provides clients with numerous informational reports and files which contain mappings, cross-reference tables and data that can be helpful for building and maintaining an indirect tax-integrated billing system.

While the AFC engine is designed to generate some of these reports and files by default, there are many which are not automatically created; however, the data remains available and can be provided to clients if requested.

Please note that changes or settings in configuration options may impact the ability of AFC to generate reports automatically. In an effort to identify reports that are generated by default versus data that remains available to create reports by request of the client, the following terms are referenced throughout this document:

  • Generated By Default: The AFC product routinely generates or creates the appropriate reports. The reports may or may not be provided to the client automatically.
  • Received By Default: The AFC product routinely distributes or delivers the generated reports.
  • Available Upon Request: No reports are routinely generated or distributed; however, the data to create such reports is available. A change in configuration options, settings or a formal request to Avalara can allow the report to be generated.

The table below provides a high-level overview of the various reports and files available by AFC product. Please reference Section 2 Report Descriptions or Section 3 File Descriptions to determine specific details such as, if data is generated by default, distributed by default or available upon request.

customsort Utility, (Outputfilename.ext)

Description

The customsort utility is designed to allow clients to produce taxation reports which are sorted and summarized using client-specified fields and/or options. In other words, it's a one-stop shop where clients can generate a specific report in available base format (utility) and can include sort on additional fields.

It works from data available in the log file, so it doesn't include original revenue and has no record of failed transactions.

Available base formats are as follows: SRTCOMMA20L, SRTCOMMA20L-P, SRTCOMMA20LD, EZLOGCUST, EZLOGCUSTPTS

The format of compliance files may be that of any of the available AvaTax for Communications (AFC) sorting and reporting utilities listed in the table below.

Method

Description

Example

Date Method 0

This method gathers all transactions that were sent to our server during the previous month by looking at start time field for each transaction and generate the compliance files from that data on the first of every month or requested date.  AFC uses date method 0 to generate compliance reports, unless specified by client.
  • Reporting Scenario 1: Throughout the month of January 2013, you submit several transactions to the web service for taxation at the time each sale occurs. The system will generate the January 2013 compliance reports on February 1st, 2013 for all the transactions received in January, irrespective of invoice date.

Date Method 1

This method processes data based on invoice date. We gather all transactions that have an invoice date of the previous month and generate the compliance files from that data on the first day of every month.
  • Reporting Scenario 2: Throughout the month of January 2013, you submit several transactions to the web service for taxation with an invoice date of January 2013. On February 1st, 2013, the system will gather all transactions with an invoice date of January 1st through January 31st 2013 and generate the compliance data.
  • Reporting Scenario 3: You send a transaction with an invoice date of January 15th past February 1st when AFC runs your compliance reports, this transaction will never show up on any report. You will need to submit a request to our network services to rerun your data for January in order to capture January data sent past February. Additional charges apply to rerun, or provide subsequent compliance reports for the month. Alternatively, you may request your compliance reports to be generated on a specific day of the month in order to give you enough time to complete processing tax calculations for your billing cycle. Please submit a support case in order to set up these preferences.

Date Method 2

This method processes data based on an optional10 field. The client will fill in the optional10 field with the year and month (YYYYMM format) that they want the transaction to show up in their compliance files. When AFC runs the compliance reports, it only includes transactions from the previous month, based upon optional10 field.
  • Reporting Scenario 4: Throughout the month of January 2013, you submit several transactions to the web service for taxation at the time each sale occurs. Each transaction must include the value 201301 in the Optional10 field. The system will generate the January 2013 compliance reports on February 1st, 2013 and include the taxes for all transactions with a 201301 value in the Optional10 field. It is important to note that if you send transactions with 201301 in the optional10 field, after the compliance report is run on February 1, they will be provided in any compliance reports. In this case, you should record the transaction as 201302 or a future period for them to be reported upon.
  • Reporting Scenario 5: On February 1st 2013, you process a batch for all January 2013 transactions. Each transaction must have a 201301 value in the Optional10 field. You should request your reports to be generated on the 2nd day of the month beforehand. The system will generate your January 2013 compliance reports on the 2nd day of the month and include the taxes for all transactions with a 201301 value in the Optional10 field.
  • Reporting Scenario 6: On February 15th, you process an adjustment for a transaction that took place on January 15th 2013. The Date field of the transaction must have the date of the original transaction (January 15th) in order to get the appropriate tax adjustments back, but the Optional10 field of the transaction must have a value of 201302 since the adjustment was handled during February. The tax adjustment will be included in your February 2013 compliance reports.
