Hi Iain,
From: "Iain Fogg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
+ Order level discounting doesn't work properly for in the GST
environment. Eg, I have an item for $110, which includes $10 GST. If I
discount the order, the price drops to $88, but the GST still shows as
$10 - it should be $8.80. The correct behaviour depends on whether
individual line items are subject to GST or not. Technically, if I give
a 20% order level discount this discount should be distributed across
all line items in the order, and then the GST would be calculated
correctly. In practice, order level discounts are banned, and sales
staff need to apply any discounts at the item level (which works well
for GST calculations). It's not clear what a fixed-amount order-level
discount means in a GST environment, since individual products (not
whole orders) are subject to the tax - what if your order has a mixture
of GST and GST-free products???
Did you try on POS with last svn (that's what I guess but not sure) ? Because I have tried only without taxes yet ....
#1 for me is being able to record my prices tax-inclusive, yet still
ensure that local reporting requirements are met (eg, displaying the
amount of GST in the sale), and that the GL tracks the GST component.
Yes that's the problem we have to cope with if we want to have happy customers :o)
I think we already the flag to indicate whether prices include tax, but
it's not clear that this has relevance for GST?VAT (please correct me if
I'm wrong).
For the moment taxes are not differentiated, please see : http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-366
We also need a flag(s) to indicate whether we need to report
the tax component, and whether the reporting needs to be on the item or
order level. As mentioned above, order adjustments need to be made
sensitive to the GST/VAT environment, but perhaps the simplest thing is
just to train users not to ever use order-level adjustments :-)
Here they are some differents rules. For instance in Italy and France if you have Jacopo explained that here :

But it's no the same in Germany for instance. Here is also an interesting remark going your way (customising cutomers ;o)

Thanks for your comments
PS : One question out of subject : I do use Outlook Express (OE) on Windows (was trapped long before ;o). When I respond to an ML
msg only to the sender, automatically OE send also a copy to ML.
I wonder if it would not be a best practise to respond only to the ML (to avoid double messages to the intial sender). What do you
think ?
