Overview 

Invariably, when dealing with two systems that have different databases, there may be data synchronization discrepancies. The Tax Exception Report allows you to view discrepancies between transactions that were posted in Accounting Seed versus the transactions that were committed into AvaTax. You can view the report data based upon a selected start date and end date. After viewing the report, you might determine that adjustments will need to be made in either the Accounting Seed or AvaTax systems.
