## Description

List all certificates recorded by a company
            
A certificate is a document stored in either AvaTax Exemptions or CertCapture.  The certificate document
can contain information about a customer's eligibility for exemption from sales or use taxes based on
criteria you specify when you store the certificate.  To view or manage your certificates directly, please
log onto the administrative website for the product you purchased.
            
You can use the `$include` parameter to fetch the following additional objects for expansion:
            
* customers - Retrieves the list of customers linked to the certificate.
* po_numbers - Retrieves all PO numbers tied to the certificate.
* attributes - Retrieves all attributes applied to the certificate.
* histories - Retrieves the certificate update history
* jobs - Retrieves the jobs for this certificate
* jobs.phases - Retrieves the jobs along with their phases
* jobs.tasks - Retrieves the jobs along with their phases and the tasks within each phase
* logs - Retrieves the certificate log
* invalid_reasons - Retrieves invalid reasons for this certificate if the certificate is invalid
* custom_fields - Retrieves custom fields set for this certificate
* jurisdictions - Retrieves the list of jurisdictions associated with the certificate
            
Before you can use any exemption certificates endpoints, you must set up your company for exemption certificate data storage.
Companies that do not have this storage system set up will see `CertCaptureNotConfiguredError` when they call exemption
certificate related APIs. To check if this is set up for a company, call `GetCertificateSetup`.  To request setup of exemption
certificate storage for this company, call `RequestCertificateSetup`.
