Hibou Odoo Suite: Accounting Modules: US WA State SalesTax API

The purpose of this documentation is to outline the use case and processes associated with Hibou's US WA State SalesTax API module. This module integrates the WA State SalesTax API for use with fiscal positions.

First thing's first, we want to install the module! Navigate to the Apps application and search 'US WA State SalesTax API'. When ready, hit the install button.

To get started, navigate to the Accounting application.

Once there select Configuration followed by Taxes. We need to create a Tax to use as backup in case something goes wrong with the WA State SalesTax API. We will see a list of Taxes. To make a new one, hit the Create button.

After completing the required fields, hit the Save button.

In the Accounting application select Configuration followed by Fiscal Positions. Here you will find a list view of all fiscal positions. Make a new one by hitting the Create button. Name the fiscal position. Check the checkbox next to Use WA State API. Once checked, a new dropdown for WA Base/Error Tax will appear. Select the previously created tax from the dropdown menu.

Check the checkbox for detect automatically. In the Country dropdown selected United States. In the Federal States dropdown select Washington.

This modules adds two new fields to the Fiscal Position model:

• `is_us_wa` Boolean field to flag use of WA State API

• `wa_base_tax_id` Many2one field for the WA Base/Error Tax

 These two fields are used for the WA State API. Additionally, it includes a new class WATaxRequest used for making API requests to gather WA tax rates.

Additionally, two new fields are added to the `account.tax` model:

• `wa_location_code` Integer field for the WA Location Code

• `wa_location_zips` Char field for the WA Location Zips
