Medius Integrates Avalara AvaTax for AP Invoice Tax Verification
Medius AP Automation now integrates with Avalara AvaTax to verify U.S. sales and use tax on invoices before they are posted to enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
Medius has integrated its accounts payable (AP) automation software with Avalara's AvaTax service, enabling businesses to automatically verify U.S. sales and use tax on incoming invoices. The integration ensures that tax calculations are checked against Avalara's database during the invoice approval process, prior to the data being entered into a company's ERP system.
This feature aims to improve accuracy in tax compliance for businesses operating across various U.S. jurisdictions. By performing the tax verification within the Medius workflow, companies can identify discrepancies or incorrect tax charges before they are finalized and booked.
The integration addresses the complexities of sales and use tax, which vary significantly by state and locality within the United States. Medius stated that the recalculation of vendor-charged taxes against Avalara's service is a key component of the new functionality.
This development enhances Medius's spend management solutions by adding a layer of automated tax compliance. The company offers AP automation and spend management tools designed to streamline procurement and payment processes for businesses.
