O Series SR21 API Changes
New Tax Calculation API version
The Tax Calculation and Tax GIS RESTful API is updated to version 2.5.0.
Increased lookup range for coordinates
Lookups for Tax Area IDs using latitude and longitude coordinates are improved by increasing the date range of the lookups. The lookups now use data reaching back two years. O Series no longer returns Tax Area IDs that are not yet effective, avoiding associated calculation errors.
Jurisdiction ID added to override objects
To allow for more granularity when applying overrides to tax calculations, the Jurisdiction ID (jurisdictionId) field is added to override object arrays in the Tax Calculation and Tax GIS RESTful API. This change allows an override to be configured so it applies to a specific jurisdiction in O Series, while not applying to similar jurisdictions of the same Jurisdiction Level (jurisdictionType).
These override arrays now include the Jurisdiction ID (jurisdictionId) field:
- Citation Overrides (
citationOverrides) - Exemption Overrides (
exemptOverrides) - Imposition Types to Process (
impositionInclusions) - Nontaxable Overrides (
nonTaxableOverrides) - Rate Overrides (
rateOverrides) - Tax Deferred Percentage Overrides (
taxDeferredOverrides)
This change impacts calculation requests and responses for sellers, buyers, and owners.

O Series SR20 API Changes
New Tax Calculation API version
The Tax Calculation and Tax GIS RESTful API is updated to version 2.4.0.
New message types and request for synchronization services
New message types and a new request are added to the Tax Calculation and Tax GIS RESTful API to initiate synchronization services for transactions. Synchronization services trigger financial events that modify your transactions in O Series so your financial host system and O Series show identical results.
Caution
Triggering synchronization services outside of the suggested time period can result in calculation errors or duplicate transactions:
- For On-Premise and On-Demand deployments, synchronization services must be triggered prior to initiating a Tax Journal Purge that includes impacted transactions.
- For Cloud deployments, synchronization services must be triggered within 90 days of tax calculation for impacted transactions.
This change impacts calculation requests and responses for sellers (Supplies) and buyers (Procurement).
| Message type or request | Endpoint | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| ARBillingSync message type | /supplies | Modify existing Accounts Receivable transactions |
| APInvoiceSync message type | /procurement | Modify existing Accounts Payable transactions |
| APInvoiceSync message type | /procurement | Modify existing Accrual transactions |
