A Tax is simply a tax.
I've never encountered a tax that is simple ;-) Taxes are not only handled differently in some countries, but even within one country depending on location and industry. In Canada retail operations even have different rules for businesses operated on aboriginal reserve land for example. A general purpose module need not handle every specific case, however some aspects if tax calculation and display must be configurable. > > > furthermore it might depend on the kind of business if and > > how they are shown (i.e. for gnu health different than for a warehouse). > > I still doubt about that. Service stations are a common example in north america as i mentioned earlier. Prices for fuel dispensed at pumps is displayed tax included. All other goods without. Typically only very small retail operations that are exempt from taxes or operate heavily with non electronic cash transactions (and so round prices to whole dollars and need little signage notifying the tax is included) operate on a tax included basis here...food trucks, snack food concession stands at hockey arenas, etc > > > While on the one hand it would be nice to cover any existing standards, on > > the other hand being able to meet national requirements by configuration. > > Here what they call another type of invoice is not what we named in > Tryton an invoice.

This other document in a point of sale situation here is referred to as a till receipt. Both are records of a transaction and have some common information but a till receipt doesn't have detailed descriptions, payment terms or a workflow since it is a record of a sale already concluded. That makes them different documents to me rather than being different variants of the same document. > > -- > Cédric Krier - B2CK SPRL > Email/Jabber: [email protected] > Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 > Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
