The Vertex Client Ruby Gem provides an interface to integrate with Vertex SMB which is also known as Vertex Cloud Indirect Tax.

You are required to specify a state or a country. The client will raise an error if none is specified.
At the moment specifying state automatically implies country is US. For US locations postal_code is also required.
customer: {
...
state: "NY",
postal_code: "10005",
country: "US", # Optional, you don't have to explicitly specify a country once state is set
...
}state and postal_code are optional attributes for non-US countries
customer: {
...
country: "CZ",
...
}Invoice is the same payload as quotation, but with one added identifier.
VertexClient.invoice(
# Vertex's Document Number is a unique referencial identifier for this invoice.
document_number: "unique-identifier-1a43b",
# ... All of the of the payload from quotation here ...
)Distribute Tax is the same payload as Invoice, but you pass total_tax on each line item. The product_code and quantity are optional.
VertexClient.distribute_tax(
# ...
line_items: [
{
price: "100.00",
total_tax: "6.00",
}
]
)Look up the internal Vertex location identifier for a given address. Including tax_area_id as part of the customer information in calls to invoice and quotation should improve performance, especially in situations where there are many destination addresses.
response = VertexClient.tax_area(
address_1: "11 Wall Street",

response.tax_area_id # => '330612010'Allocates a given monetary adjustment, such as a service charge or a discount, across a given array of weights, such as line items. The adjustment parameter must be passed in as a positive or negative numeric dollar amount, such as -0.56, 7.00 or 12.34, and the weights parameter must be passed in as an array of non-negative numeric values, such as [1.23, 4.56, 7.89] or [1, 2, 3, 4], which can represent prices or ratios.
