NAME

WebService::Avalara::AvaTax - Avalara SOAP interface as compiled Perl methods

VERSION

version 0.008

SYNOPSIS

use WebService::Avalara::AvaTax;
my $avatax = WebService::Avalara::AvaTax->new(
    username => 'avalara@example.com',
    password => 'sekrit',
);
my $answer_ref = $avatax->ping;

DESCRIPTION

This class provides a Perl method API for Avalara AvaTax web services. The first call to any AvaTax SOAP operation uses XML::Compile::WSDL11 to compile and execute against the specified Avalara AvaTax service; subsequent calls can vary the parameters but will use the same compiled code.

METHODS

Aside from the "new" method, "services" attribute and other attributes and methods consumed from WebService::Avalara::AvaTax::Role::Connection, available method names are dynamically loaded from each "services"' wsdl attribute and can be passed either a hash or reference to a hash with the necessary parameters. In scalar context they return a reference to a hash containing the results of the SOAP call; in list context they return the results hashref and an XML::Compile::SOAP::Trace object suitable for debugging and exception handling.

new

Builds a new AvaTax web service client. Since this class consumes the WebService::Avalara::AvaTax::Role::Connection role, please consult that module's documentation for a full list of attributes that can be set at construction.

                TaxCode         => 'FR',
            },
        ] },
    },
);

get_tax_history

Example:

my ( $answer_ref, $trace ) = $avatax->get_tax_history(
    CompanyCode => 'APITrialCompany',
    DocType     => 'SalesInvoice',
    DocCode     => 'INV001',
    DetailLevel => 'Tax',
);

validate

Example:

my ( $answer_ref, $trace ) = $avatax->validate(
    Address => {
        Line1      => '118 N Clark St',
        Line2      => 'Suite 100',
        Line3      => 'ATTN Accounts Payable',
        City       => 'Chicago',
        Region     => 'IL',
        PostalCode => '60602',
    },
    Coordinates => 1,
    Taxability  => 1,
    TextCase    => 'Upper',
);

is_authorized

Both WebService::Avalara::AvaTax::Service::Address and WebService::Avalara::AvaTax::Service::Tax provide IsAuthorized operations. However, since the latter is loaded last, only its version is called when you call this method. If you need to specifically call a particular service's IsAuthorized, use the call method on its wsdl attribute.

Example:

my ( $answer_ref, $trace ) = $avatax->is_authorized(
    join ', ' => qw(
        Ping
        IsAuthorized
        GetTax
        PostTax
        GetTaxHistory
        CommitTax
        CancelTax
        AdjustTax
    ),
);

ping

Both WebService::Avalara::AvaTax::Service::Address and WebService::Avalara::AvaTax::Service::Tax provide Ping operations. However, since the latter is loaded last, only its version is called when you call this method. If you need to specifically call a particular service's Ping, use the call method on its wsdl attribute.

Example:

use List::Util 1.33 'any';
my ( $answer_ref, $trace ) = $avatax->ping;
for my $code ( $result_ref->{parameters}{PingResult}{ResultCode} ) {
    if ( $code eq 'Success' ) { say $code; last }
    if ( $code eq 'Warning' ) {
        warn $result_ref->{parameters}{PingResult}{Messages};
        last;
    }
    if ( any {$code eq $_} qw(Error Exception) ) {
        die $result_ref->{parameters}{PingResult}{Messages};
    }
}

tax_summary_fetch

Example:

my ( $answer_ref, $trace ) = $avatax->tax_summary_fetch(
    MerchantCode => 'example',
    StartDate    => '2014-01-01',
    EndDate      => '2014-01-31',
);

apply_payment (DEPRECATED)

From Avalara API documentation:

The ApplyPayment method of the TaxSvc was originally designed to update an existing document record with a PaymentDate value. This function (and cash-basis accounting in general) is no longer supported, and will not work on new or existing accounts, but remains in the TaxSvc WSDL and some automatically built adaptors for backwards compatibility.

Example:

my ( $answer_ref, $trace ) = $avatax->apply_payment(
    DocId       => 'example',
    CompanyCode => 'APITrialCompany',
    DocType     => 'SalesInvoice',
    DocCode     => 'INV001',
    PaymentDate => '2014-01-01',
);

reconcile_tax_history (LEGACY API)

From Avalara API documentation:

The ReconcileTaxHistory method of the TaxSvc was designed to allow users to pull a range of documents for reconciliation against a document of record (i.e. in the ERP), and then flag the reconciled documents as completed. Those flagged documents would then be omitted from subsequent ReconcileTaxHistory calls. This method no longer changes the "reconciled" document flag, but can be used to retrieve ranges of document data (much like the AccountSvc DocumentFetch), and remains in the TaxSvc WSDL and some automatically built adaptors for backwards compatibility.

Example:

my ( $answer_ref, $trace ) = $avatax->reconcile_tax_history(
    CompanyCode => 'APITrialCompany',
    LastDocId   => 'example',
    Reconciled  => 1,
    StartDate   => '2014-01-01',
    EndDate     => '2014-01-31',
    DocStatus   => 'Temporary',
    DocType     => 'SalesOrder',
    LastDocCode => 'example',
    PageSize    => 10,
);
