Summary
We have streamlined how Address Verification (AVS) is handled across different payment methods to provide a more consistent experience and reduce manual entry.
Issue Details
Users previously had to manually check a Disable AVS box during certain payment flows to prevent transaction declines caused by strict address matching. Because settings were inconsistent between the web integration, the internal payment wizard, and the e-Payments screen, automated jobs like Autopay would often fail if the AVS settings didn't match the tokenized card data. This forced users to manually find declined payments and re-process them through the invoice screen.
Resolution
AVS validation is now controlled globally via a system setting rather than a per-transaction checkbox. When enabled, the system will automatically skip AVS validation for payments processed via the Invoice Pay Now link, the Payment record, the e-Payments screen, and Autopay. The manual Disable AVS checkbox has been removed from the payment forms to simplify the interface and ensure all payment channels behave identically.
Prerequisites
Requires the EnableAVSCheckbox global variable to be configured by an administrator.
