Hi all, I am a little confused with the current implementation status of support for prices including VAT (I am using the 10652 version of opentaps 1.0 release). I followed several instructions I found in this and other forums and some documentation about VAT but did not manage to get things to work.
What I did is to create a TaxAuthority and respective TaxAuthorityProductRate and set the store to show prices with VAT and assigned it the respective Geo and TaxAuth Ids. I did not make use of categories here as from my understanding those categories are only needed if different rates need to be supported on product level (this could be necessary for example in Germany where there exist different rates for different types of products). The behaviour I got was that the tax rate was applied to all products, which is exactly what I wanted. So far so good. The problem is that the price is only shown correctly on the product detail page and not the minicart or the shopping cart screenlet and even the final order screen shows prices excluding the configured VAT. It seems to me that VAT support is not consistently implemented. But maybe I miss something and this is just a configuration error. For example I did not set the fields "Tax Category", "Tax Duty Code" or "Tax VAT Code" on any product. I only set the field "taxable" to true. Maybe those fields are required by some price or adjustment calculation service? What are these fields used for? I feel that VAT documentation is rather bad here. Can anyone clearify please? These are the documents I read abotu VAT so far: http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/OFBiz%27s+Tax+Authority+Data+Model http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/VAT http://www.nabble.com/Creating-price-rules-for-a-country-with-VAT-value-td21954459.html#a22005169 http://www.nabble.com/Sales-Tax-Setup-td20230294.html#a20438576 The posts in the mailing list show that there are some unresolved issues regarding proper VAT setup. Has anyone succeeded in setting up prices including VAT in the ecommerce store? regards, Benni -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Prices-incl.-VAT-tp22541235p22541235.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
