Right now the tax calculation is only done for orders, and not for
invoices.
You will see taxes on invoices if they come from an order with
taxes, but
there isn't anything to calculate tax directly on an invoice right
now.
You can certainly add these invoice items manually, or also of
course write
something to do this automatically.
So there isn't any philosophical problem creating invoices without
orders? Are time sheets in this case a kind of order? Would
converting time sheets to orders which can then be invoiced be better?
An order is kind of a request, or authorization to fulfill, from a
customer. In the services world this often takes the form of an
Agreement of some sort, or perhaps a request (for support, for
implementation, for bug fix, for whatever).
You could create an order based on time entries, and perhaps have a
product for each billing rate that could be on the order. This would
be kind of a hack though, as it doesn't make sense to place an order
for time already worked... :(
So, you have to charge taxes based for services? That bites...
