Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE Integration Guide
Integrate ONESOURCE tax-determination capabilities with enterprise applications through provisioned REST APIs, authenticated workflows, and supported file exchanges.
Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE integration options at a glance
ONESOURCE Indirect Tax products are commonly integrated through provisioned REST APIs for submitting transactions and receiving tax results. Authentication may use OAuth 2.0, client credentials, API keys, subscription keys, or a combination, depending on the module and tenant. Selected compliance and reporting products may also support batch processing or file-based exchange, but these capabilities require module-specific confirmation. A general GraphQL, SOAP, or webhook model is not confirmed. Martini can consume the applicable ONESOURCE API, transform orders, invoices, addresses, products, and tax data, orchestrate synchronous or scheduled workflows, and route validation, throttling, and reconciliation exceptions.
Common Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE integration patterns

Authentication and security considerations
Product-specific authentication
ONESOURCE authentication depends on the licensed module, tenant, and API product. OAuth 2.0 and client credentials should be evaluated for modern APIs, while API keys, subscription keys, application identifiers, scopes, and tenant permissions may also be required.
Credential protection
Store client secrets, access tokens, API keys, tenant identifiers, and environment-specific values in protected Martini configuration or secrets. Do not embed credentials in workflows or write tokens to diagnostic logs.
Data protection
Tax payloads may contain customer, address, financial, and registration information. Restrict access, minimize retained payloads, protect logs, and use separate test and production credentials and endpoints.
Operational considerations for Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE integrations
Throughput and rate limits
Confirm ONESOURCE quotas, concurrency limits, and request-size constraints. Use controlled concurrency, queueing, scheduling, and exponential backoff for transient failures or throttling.
Idempotency and reconciliation
Use stable transaction or document references and verify the API’s duplicate-handling behavior before retrying an ambiguous timeout. Reconcile order-stage and invoice-stage tax results where shipment, freight, discounts, or rounding can change the outcome.
Pagination and batch processing
If the selected API exposes list or reporting operations, implement its documented cursor, continuation-token, or page-size behavior. Do not assume offset pagination. For files or batch jobs, track file identifiers, processing status, accepted records, and rejection reports.
Schema and testing
Protect mappings against new tax types, jurisdictions, required fields, precision changes, and API-version retirement. Use contract tests in the ONESOURCE test environment and validate line-level versus document-level rounding before production release.
Monitoring
Record safe correlation IDs, vendor request IDs, processing status, latency, and categorized errors. Monitor failed validations, throttling, authentication failures, and reconciliation variances without logging sensitive payloads unnecessarily.
Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?
Centralized orchestration
Martini provides a maintainable workflow layer between ONESOURCE and ERP, billing, commerce, CRM, or reporting applications. The same integration can coordinate validation, tax determination, reconciliation, and exception routing without duplicating logic in every source system.
Reusable transformation
Martini maps different source document models into the customer-specific ONESOURCE schema and normalizes tax results for multiple targets. Reusable workflows and services can preserve consistent rules for addresses, products, amounts, rounding, and identifiers.
Operational control
Compared with isolated scripts, Martini provides structured triggers, API orchestration, scheduling, error handling, monitoring, protected configuration, and controlled deployment. These capabilities support retries, reconciliation, testing, and future API-version changes.
API-led access
Martini can expose a controlled API façade for tax determination while keeping ONESOURCE credentials and vendor-specific details behind the integration boundary. This allows consuming applications to use a consistent enterprise contract even when ONESOURCE module details vary.
