SA Tax Address Validation Report overview

System Administrator > SA Reports > SARGV

Function acronym: SARGV

Use this report to verify that the addresses in the setup functions are valid in these third-party tax interfaces: AvaTax or Vertex Cloud.

You can run this report as required or as a stored report. The address data from Distribution SX.e is obtained based on your ranges and option settings. The tax interface's address validation logic is then called by Distribution SX.e. After a response is received, the results are included in the report.

Use the ranges and options to generate a specific or comprehensive report. Use the range fields to specify the entities to include in the report. Then, use the options to set the report to validate or not validate the address from the Distribution SX.e setup function, such as SA Company Setup. You can also specify whether to include active records, inactive records, or both types of records, on the report for these entities:

  • Customers
  • Ship tos
  • Vendors
  • Ship From

The report output includes this information:

  • Type of record that was validated
  • Record identifier such as the customer number, vendor number, and warehouse
  • Address data including the address currently on the record and the address returned from the tax interface

    The top address is the current address in Distribution SX.e. The bottom address is the address from the tax interface. Sometimes, the only difference is the return of the ZIP+4 Code.

If any warning or error is returned from the tax interface, the text of that message is also displayed. Use the report output to help you determine whether you must to manually update the address on the record. Be aware that changes that are made to addresses in the setup functions, such as Customer Setup, do not take effect until you save the record. The update does not change any existing orders.

Note: AvaTax and Vertex Cloud use the United States Postal Service Postal Addressing Standards when validating address information. The address returned from the tax interface can have a different line sequence than the address from Distribution SX.e. For example, the Attention To line might be before the Business name, and the Business Name before the Street Address. Contact your AvaTax or Vertex Cloud representative with questions.
