Topic: API / Apex / Visualforce

We are using custom code to call out to Avatax in an Apex class and related wrappers.

We cannot seem to test the connection through our Tax Now settings in Salesforce (we get the error and tried a few things to resolve from this link: https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F000000099GbIAI ). 

Based on a log from Avalara, it looks like they're not seeing the call out at all. We need a way to test the call out from SF. 

Thank you!

We need to be able to test the connection

We have a custom DocuSign/Conga functionality on Steelbrick quote object and it's giving us the error in the subject line of this post - only on one quote.

Related code is:

In debugging, we also saw the following error: Invalid id for SBQQ_Quote_c
