Re: [cart] Taxrate - seriously ..

texte = The TaxTotal seems to be derived from the tax on each line item.When you add a line item you supply the sku of the product you want to add.I was using the products.db and the sku to do a lookup and find the tax rate.The lookup was in the formulas database.It appeared, that when we set a header, it would re-calculate all the individual tax amounts on each line but because we were setting a header and not adding a product, the sku wasn't available for the taxrate lookup to find the taxrate in the products database.When the carts taxtotal was added up from all the lines that were zero - it gave zero.Funky aye.It just means you can't have tax caculated based on the product you sell - which is no biggy I suppose.I think the one taxrate affects the whole cart anyway so we just Hard Coded It in the formulas database and it started working again.Yay hard coding!On 12/7/02 2:56 AM, John Peacock
