Quick question for anyone using Avalara/Avatax.  Can you set the tax fields via server side suitescript?  Having a terrible time importing sales orders via a custom RESTlet and setting the tax field properly.  I found this on the interwebs -&gt; <https://followingnetsuite.com/2018/11/02/toggling-taxable-on-a-sales-order/>  &lt;- but was looking for a second opinion

so we have both wholesale and retail customers.  Wholesale customer are tax exempt.  Retail are not.  We are setting it via 	record.setFieldValue('istaxable','F' );
					record.setFieldValue('taxitem','' );

it doesn't work unless we go in after the sales order is saved and uncheck

try setting the custbody_ava_taxoverride or custbody_ava_suspendtaxcall,

if you are desperate, you can try setting taxamountoverride to null in a user event script that runs after avalara's script

it disables the mechanism that avalara uses to disable netsuite's native tax features
