[jira] Created: (OFBIZ-416) Preliminary implementation of GST/VAT for review

Nicolas Malin (Jira)
Preliminary implementation of GST/VAT for review
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OFBIZ-416
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-416
             Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project)
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: accounting, ecommerce, framework, order, product
    Affects Versions: SVN trunk
            Reporter: David Garrett
            Priority: Minor


I have attached a patch against ofbiz SVN rev 465130 - 18 Oct 06.

The purpose is to show progress toward a GST/VAT implementations and importantly to get early feedback.
 
The implementation is done in ecommerce and concentrates primarily on the cart, the adjustments and creating an order. (More to come.)
 
The display of the cart and order contents are done to varying degrees. In addition a few of the promotions have been tested primarily GWP and order discount seem OK. I have not got to the Invoice yet.
 
The approach taken is to base the implementation on the exTax price. I have tried and looked at both. There are pros and cons for working based on incTax or exTax pricing .... I believe that exTax is probably better. The display price is used but reference to promotions etc I have based on basePrice/unitPrice.

PLEASE NOTE: the implementation is NOT ready for production and has a massive amount of notes and comments to myself. These will be fixed and cleaned up shortly. The reason for the release at this stage is that it was starting to generate a little bit of discussion off the list.


Implementation
==============
The demo data can primarily be seen from the ecommerce/data ... the AU files. See the questions below.

The key definitions are as follows:
    <TaxAuthorityRateType taxAuthorityRateTypeId="GST_TAX" description="Goods and Services Tax"/>
    <TaxAuthorityRateType taxAuthorityRateTypeId="VAT_TAX" description="Value Added Tax"/>
 
    <OrderAdjustmentType description="GST Tax" hasTable="N" orderAdjustmentTypeId="GST_TAX" parentTypeId=""/>
    <OrderAdjustmentType description="VAT Tax" hasTable="N" orderAdjustmentTypeId="VAT_TAX" parentTypeId=""/>
    <OrderAdjustmentType description="Gst Tax on Adjustment" hasTable="N" orderAdjustmentTypeId="OTHER_GST_TAX" parentTypeId=""/>
    <OrderAdjustmentType description="VAT Tax on Adjustment" hasTable="N" orderAdjustmentTypeId="OTHER_VAT_TAX" parentTypeId=""/>
    <OrderAdjustmentType description="Gst Tax on Shipping" hasTable="N" orderAdjustmentTypeId="SHIPPING_GST_TAX" parentTypeId=""/>
    <OrderAdjustmentType description="VAT Tax on Shipping" hasTable="N" orderAdjustmentTypeId="SHIPPING_VAT_TAX" parentTypeId=""/>

    <TaxAuthorityRateProduct taxAuthorityRateSeqId="9050" taxAuthGeoId="AUS" taxAuthPartyId="AUS_ATO" taxAuthorityRateTypeId="GST_TAX" productStoreId="9000AU"
        productCategoryId="" titleTransferEnumId="" minItemPrice="0.00" minPurchase="0.00" taxShipping="Y" taxPercentage="10"
        defaultOrderAdjTypeId="GST_TAX" shippingOrderAdjTypeId="SHIPPING_GST_TAX" otherOrderAdjTypeId="OTHER_GST_TAX"
        fromDate="2001-05-13 00:00:00.001" thruDate="" description="Australian GST Tax"/>

The GST or VAT is recorded separately for each of the key types the item->VAT_TAX the SHIPPING_ADJUSTMENT->SHIPPING_VAT_TAX and the "Other" Adjustments->OTHER_VAT_TAX
Other Adjustments attached to an item still require further testing.


### The patch defaults to mysql. You may need to change this/
 


Testing
=======
The easiest test is to add productId= GST10 to the cart and create an order (either ecommerce or ordermgr) ... the display starts OK then not fully implemented (this is not the problem I am chasing at the moment). As best I can tell the cart is being created correctly with the correct OrderAdjustments. OrderItemAdjustments are not all functioning correctly at the moment.
 
Next order 11 x GST10 ... get a free gift ... seems to work
 
Next order 1 x GST10PROMO (in PROMOTIONS category) ... price rules seem to work OK
 
Problem ... SPECIAL_PROMOTION ... add code 9021 ... problem comes from the pricing basis in getSubTotalForPromotions(...) which uses getDisplayItemSubTotal
 
 


Questions
=========

** Can I use this patch to implement VAT/GST now?
No. Not yet. This is a VERY early release to show the direction being taken.

** Why are there so many changes? What is all this AU and GST stuff.
To test the GST/VAT I have created a store(9000AU) which implements the Australian(AU) implementation of VAT called Goods & Services Tax(GST). In order to achieve this there is a lot of demo data that has been created which implements ProductPrices, Promotions, Payments, UiLabels etc.

The WebSiteId in web.xml is not changed at the moment and the default store is overwritten as 9000AU.

Other TaxAuthorities may also be created later.

** Isn't GST just another VAT? Why not just implement VAT?
Yes this is correct. This is probably the way things will go ... with customisations based on taxAuthGeoId. HOWEVER I do need things like "GST Tax" type descriptions on the orderItem display. So in the short term this GST implementation will remain. Call me selfish but I want it to work out of the box for me.


Next Steps
==========
* Address any feedback
* Get the cart to order process working particulary for the orderItem adjustments and promotions
* The cart internally seems correct So ... get the display of the data showing what the user would expect.
* Focus on getting VAT into the Invoice
* Address any feedback


Hope it helps. All feedback/criticism welcome.

Eriks Dobelis commented on OFBIZ-416:
-------------------------------------

If there are different types of adjustments for GST, VAT, etc. then it is difficult to perform some operations, which apply to all VAT-type taxes. E.g. it is usually requirement in VAT countries that invoice should be shown with and without VAT tax. If we would have one type of adjustment it would be easy to subtract this type from total. If there are many types then some kind of attribute "VAT tax" would be helpful. Another possiblity is a separate table listing all VAT-type adjustments. Yet another option would be to have those listed in some configuration file. Otherwise, it is hard to remember all of them each time, and there is a risk of incosistency, e.g. in a row like
+                    <#if orderItemAdjustment.orderAdjustmentTypeId == "SALES_TAX" || orderItemAdjustment.orderAdjustmentTypeId == "GST_TAX" || orderItemAdjustment.orderAdjustmentTypeId == "VAT_TAX">

In such a row it is quite easy to forget GST_TAX.

-------------------------------------

Thanks Eriks,

Yes I agree.

It would be nice to combine these. I expect to do this however ... the implementation is coming from a previous implementation of GST.

I am introducing a parallel VAT implementation (along with a lot of restructure and improvement).

There are issues for me such as UI labels that I have not yet done the changes for. These will come later. I expect these will be associated with the TaxAuthority.
eg TaxAuth: geoId= AUS, paytyId=ATO will have UI labels such as InvoiceLabel= Tax Invoice, InvoiceVatSummary=GST Included in Invoice ...etc
whereas
TaxAuth: geoId= GBR, paytyId=HMRC will have UI labels such as (I don't know what it should be but it is likely to be different) InvoiceLabel=UK VAT Invoice, InvoiceVatSummary=VAT Included in Invoice ...etc

On the point of prices incVAT exVAT I believe this is seperate and calcuations are centralised. The final objective is to REMOVE lines like the following from ftl
<#if orderItemAdjustment.orderAdjustmentTypeId == "SALES_TAX" || orderItemAdjustment.orderAdjustmentTypeId == "GST_TAX" || orderItemAdjustment.orderAdjustmentTypeId == "VAT_TAX">
with eg
<#if Static["org.ofbiz.accounting.tax.UtilTax"].isTaxAdjustment(orderItemAdjustment) >


I am trying to transition smoothly from my GST to a generalised VAT without loosing a working system out of the box for my requirements.

I have been doing little else but work on this over the last few weeks. Maybe today/tomorrow I will have a better implementation to upload which better deals with orderItem adjustments.

I have been trying for MINIMAL change to the existing implementation. There have been many implementation strategies I have tried to get what I think is the cleanest solution. Each one has side effects with varying levels of ugliness and complexity.

-------------------------------------

Eriks,

By the way, the bigger related problem that concerns me is not forgetting to consider GST when implementing VAT ...

but rather

forgetting about VAT when imlementing SALES_TAX !!!!

I am attempting to get the one method call to return the correct values for bot VAT and SALES_TAX with minimal ise of "if VAT"s. Where possible this is done within the existing method names.

[jira] Updated: (OFBIZ-416) Preliminary implementation of GST/VAT for review

Nicolas Malin (Jira)
In reply to this post by Nicolas Malin (Jira)
     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-416?page=all ]

David Garrett updated OFBIZ-416:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: vat02-061109.zip

This GST/VAT patch seems to handle the cart and the creation of the order correctly. It has been made against Revision 465130. Maybe I need to do something to creatre a better formatted patch. Please let me know.

Implementation:
I have kept it independent of the ecommerce module.
A new module has been created - vatecommerce. It uses a new webSiteId=VatWebStore and corresponding productStoreId=9000AU
goto htty://localhost:8080/vatecommerce

Testing
I have primarily used the following products:
GST10
GZ-1005
GST10PROMO

Limitation/Problems:
Rounding problem ... order 20 x GZ-1005
Rounding problem ... order 1 x GST10PROMO  +  Shipping $11 ... rounding issue for VAT
I don't think Giftcards, variations and configurations work yet

Next:
VAT in Invoices


All comments greatfully received

Thanks
David G

[jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-416) Preliminary implementation of GST/VAT for review

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-416:
---------------------------------------

Hi David,

Some comments :

You did not check the ASF authorisation for this last patch (8/11/2006)

To be commited in futur the following files need an ASL2 header and no author information :
  applications/ecommerce/config/EcommerceUiLabels_en_AU.properties
  applications/ecommerce/data/DemoTaxDataAU.xml
  applications/ecommerce/data/DemoPartyAU.xml
  applications/ecommerce/data/DemoProductAU.xml

if applications/vatecommerce is untended to be commited (did not had enough time to review it in detail, seems to be a duplicate at first glance
  applications/vatecommerce/docs/GST/VAT Setup.txt (?)
  applications/vatecommerce/data/DemoTaxDataAU.xml
  applications/vatecommerce/data/DemoPartyAU.xml
  applications/vatecommerce/data/DemoProductAU.xml
  applications/vatecommerce/build.xml

  applications/order/config/OrderUiLabels_en_AU.properties



there are an unneeded(?) copies :
  applications/ecommerce/data/Copy of DemoProductAU.xml
  applications/vatecommerce/data/Copy of DemoProductAU.xml
  applications/order/webapp/ordermgr/entry/cart/Copy of showcartitems.ftl

some very few tabs in
applications/ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/order/orderitems.ftl (around lines 240+)
applications/vatecommerce/build.xml (around(?) line 86)

The file applications/ecommerce/ofbiz-component.xml is in the patch but unchanged (2 lines added not needed)

This a primary review and I believe it would be helpful to separate data (demo, properties, etc.) from procedures (all the rest). Thus it will be easier to review the sources because it's a huge patch ;o)

I look forward for more complete patches before testing. Except if you really need someone to test the work done so far.

If you are ok I will delete old patches progressively (ok for 1st one ?)

Thanks

[jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-416) Preliminary implementation of GST/VAT for review

Nicolas Malin (Jira)
In reply to this post by Nicolas Malin (Jira)
    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-416?page=comments#action_12448879 ]
           
David Garrett commented on OFBIZ-416:
-------------------------------------

Jacques,

Thanks for the comment.

The patch is DEFINITELY NOT ready for inclusion yet. Btw, I like your idea for seperating the data/procedures.

The purpose is to show the progress and , as David J suggested ...
... "The code doesn't have to be perfect, or even pretty. The point is to have a starting point for different areas that others can review and improve as approaches "perfection"."

The code particularly the ecommerce cart/order UI is very ugly and full of my debug comments and working notes. My intention is to remove these and do a clean up well before the changes should be considedred even close for inclusion.

I am working on the Invoice creation at the moment and want to get posting to the GL before I come back to cleanup.

In the mean time at least anyone "enthusiastic" can see the direction that the change is going. The UI may be hard to interpret but the cart -> order process seems OK to me.

There is a lot of work and changes as you point out so if it is going in the wrong direction ... NOW would be a good time to be told!!

Thanks
David G

PS Yes. The first patch can be deleted. I could not find this in my attachment management options.

[jira] Updated: (OFBIZ-416) Preliminary implementation of GST/VAT for review

Nicolas Malin (Jira)
In reply to this post by Nicolas Malin (Jira)
     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-416?page=all ]

David Garrett updated OFBIZ-416:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: vat-03-061128-r478251.patch

Updated VAT/GST patch (please disregard/delete previous patches).

This patch can get all the way from cart to posted to GL (requires opentaps/financials)

The user interface has been cleaned up of most of the debug messages. Althought there is still significant number of messages.

This is a good, reasonably clean, version that is worth a look for those interested in this VAT issue. There is still more work required.

ALL feedback appreciated!!

David G

> Testing
> =======
> The easiest test is to add productId= GST10 to the cart and create an order (either ecommerce or ordermgr) ... the display starts OK then not fully implemented (this is not the problem I am chasing at the moment).

>  
> Next order 1 x GST10PROMO (in PROMOTIONS category) ... price rules seem to work OK

> ** Can I use this patch to implement VAT/GST now?
> No. Not yet. This is a VERY early release to show the direction being taken.
> ** Why are there so many changes? What is all this AU and GST stuff.
> To test the GST/VAT I have created a store(9000AU) which implements the Australian(AU) implementation of VAT called Goods & Services Tax(GST). In order to achieve this there is a lot of demo data that has been created which implements ProductPrices, Promotions, Payments, UiLabels etc.
> The WebSiteId in web.xml is not changed at the moment and the default store is overwritten as 9000AU.
> Other TaxAuthorities may also be created later.
> ** Isn't GST just another VAT? Why not just implement VAT?
> Yes this is correct. This is probably the way things will go ... with customisations based on taxAuthGeoId. HOWEVER I do need things like "GST Tax" type descriptions on the orderItem display. So in the short term this GST implementation will remain. Call me selfish but I want it to work out of the box for me.
> Next Steps
> ==========
> * Address any feedback
> * Get the cart to order process working particulary for the orderItem adjustments and promotions
> * The cart internally seems correct So ... get the display of the data showing what the user would expect.
> * Focus on getting VAT into the Invoice
> * Address any feedback
> Hope it helps. All feedback/criticism welcome.

[jira] Commented: (OFBIZ-416) Preliminary implementation of GST/VAT for review

David E. Jones commented on OFBIZ-416:
--------------------------------------

Jacques: depending on how the code "depends" on the OSS financials component it may be okay. The only restriction is that it can't refer to code that is part of that module. If it sets things up so that when the stuff there is triggered, or uses the results of it running, that is fine.
