Yes I agree, there are no problems with the data model : it's just great ! And actually yes it's not so hard to do (I was able to do it order manager ;o). But generalisation (dealing with excluded *or* included prices with a store parameter) in all parts (not only order manager) need some more works and *testing*.
Not only UI reviews and changes are needed, some more on how tax calculation is done on background. Mostly when updating orders or adding items : adjustments have to be tuned (Shipment and Handling, Gift Wrap, etc.). At least the way I did it, which is perhaps not the better way (but it works so far :o) Jacques ----- Message d'origine ----- De : "David E Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Just a quick thought on this...
