checkout pages
Hello, I think checkout with EFT_ACCOUNT (so offline payment) is not fully implemented in Ofbiz. It gives me an error at the end of the payment process. It gives an error that this payment is not authorized. Is it true that there need some extra code in the card object to be programmed and implemented?

Re: Display VAT on checkout pages
It seems nobody wants to add anything, so at this stage I'd say, yes Jacques From: Raj Saini rajsa...@gmail.com I agree it is better to enhance the existing method. Should I create a JIRA issue for further discussion?

If we think of the methods getTotalSalesTax and getOrderTaxByTaxAuthGeoAndParty as what tax was collected as part of the sale that must be paid to a tax authority? then those methods should look for VAT/GST as well as sales tax. Maybe there is some place in the world that has both a sales tax and a VAT/GST. If there was such a place, would you want these methods to count both taxes or not? I think the answer is yes, you would want both counted. To me, the tax types SALES_TAX and VAT_TAX are almost the same thing *for a sale*. In both cases, we're collecting tax which is a liability that must be paid to a tax authority. The major difference between a VAT/GST tax and a sales tax is we also record the VAT tax we paid on *purchases*, and that affects the overall liability at the time we must pay the tax authority. There's no sales tax on purchases. If you grep for SALES_TAX in the Ofbiz code, there are several instances where there's no mention of VAT_TAX, and yet the business rule should probably apply to both. I have been intending to do a thorough study of all these instances when I get some time. I believe most of them should change to taxtype == SALES_TAX OR taxtype == VAT_TAX. It seems to me you're looking at several of those instances right now. When we summarise tax at the bottom of an order, I think the most interesting thing to show is total tax of whatever type, and the getTotalSalesTax method should do that job. The method getTotalSalesTax could possibly have a more general name, but I don't think that's really important. So as I said, I think it would be better to modify the methods. For existing Ofbiz installations that only define tax authorities that collect a sales tax, this change will not break anything at all.

Re: Display VAT on checkout pages
Bonjour Jacques, Yes, I agree it's unlikely. I only mentioned it as a thought experiment to clarify our thoughts on what the method should return.
