Hi
I've spent the last two days trying to setung VAT-Taxes for Switzerland.
Well... first just "a" working configuration and from there i will got
further.
So using the Information i've found in various snippets of unfinished
documentation i've created a TaxAuthority and setup a Catalog containing a
Category which contains a single product.
When i create a new invoice and add the product (for which i did define a
price), the price is not added to the invoice. Also if i set a Price
manually in the position of the invoice, the taxes don't get added to it.
So my conclusion is: None of he below mentioned "Documentation" shows the
big picture necessary to understand the VAT-Implementation giving realistic
expectation about what is gonna work, thus leaving out importent parts
making it impossible to work with them.
*If someone could point me to a usable documentation of the topic or could
tell me the key-settings for enabling VAT. I would really appreciate it. If
i get it to work satisfactory, i will create a documentation and put it in
the wiki at the end of the semester.*
Something like a checklist maybe?
1. Create Products
1. Enable "foo" on product
2. Setting "bar" on category
2. Create Tax Authority
1. And so on...
