Hi all, I have the following requirement and if any of you guys can help me think about this I would really appreciate it.
In Chile we have different kinds of Invoices, as expected. Now Chile is migrating to a electronic system, were all documents must be generated in XML form, signed with a ssl certificate and sent to the tax authority after the issue of those documents. The transition to this electronic system nation-wide has been kind of smooth, with its problems but I think it is a great thing. Well, to the point: I need to manage the following types of documents, all issued from: - Sales Invoices - Sales Invoices without tax - Credit Notes (must be related to a document already issued, be it type 1, 2 or 4) - Debit Notes (must be related to a document already issued, be it type 1, 2 or 3) The thing here is that all types of invoices have different id ranges for the tax authority: we can have a Credit Note with ID=1 and a Sales Invoices with ID=1, for example. In Ofbiz we have: - SALES_INVOICE, which maps perfectly to type 1 Chilean way - CUST_RTN_INVOICE, which could be used for Credit Notes Chilean way I can think of writing new types, something like SALES_INVOICE_NO_TAX and DEBIT_NOTE or similar. But I need to define a way to handle the IDs issue. I really want to use the ids of the entities, and not implement a new custom_type or a new code to each document. So, my questions: 1) How would you do it? I am thinking of adding the INVOICE_TYPE to the Invoice Entity key, so now the id of Invoice is composed of (id,type) instead of only being (id). This would allow to have different ID ranges for different types of invoices, but I would have to check and probably change lots of ofbiz code to make it work this way. 2) how are usually Debit Notes handled in Ofbiz? Any suggestion or idea is welcome, Gabriel -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/different-Invoice-types-with-same-Invoice-ID-range-Chilean-case-tp4672808.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
