It turns out that leaving the tax code blank does not necessarily mean 'the default item (P0000000) is assumed' - you may want to change the comment here as it is misleading... https://github.com/avadev/AvaTax-REST-V2-PHP-SDK/blob/master/src/TransactionBuilder.php#L455
P0000000 is not assumed if the API provides an item code that has been mapped to a tax code on the AvaTax management portal.
We have verified the following:
If itemCode is blank and taxCode is left blank, the default item (P0000000) is assumed.
If itemCode is mapped to a taxCode in AvaTax Management System then the mapped taxCode takes precedence, even if left blank or provided with any other value
Also updated the comment in the code to reflect the same. Please update to the latest code and verify the same.
We are mapping items to tax codes within AvaTax portal only. Therefore, in our API it is necessary to omit tax codes and supply item codes ONLY, according to our Avalara sr. project consultant. However, the the SDK documentation indicates that setting $taxCode in 'withLine' method of the transaction builder to blank will cause a default tax code of P000000 to be applied (https://github.com/avadev/AvaTax-REST-V2-PHP-SDK/blob/267e4f975953b64a669b3028793167db26b10510/src/TransactionBuilder.php#L455).
How are we supposed to omit tax codes from being sent in transactions?
Thanks
