This is a question from one of our customers for Rick C:

How can you break out the taxes? SI4 was able to separate Labor and Sales tax… in SI5, its all one group. I would like to break this up again.

The short answer is that right now, we can't.

The Item Tax information is pulled directly from the DTL where it is aggregated by type: Sales Tax, GST, PST... The labor and equipment tax are totalled at this lower point in the data.

When the report XML is created, this information is pulled directly from the DTL into the reporting XML.

To expose this information would require a change to how the DTL is serialized and persisted. This can be done, but will have to be factored into a future release.

Was this change implemented in 5.5? All my products are generating invoices with a tax for labor.

How can this labor tax be omitted?

The only thing added in 5.5 are two optional data fields which can be used on custom reports: LaborTax and EquipmentTax. However, these have not been implemented anywhere, so unless you created a custom report you should not be seeing those.

However, the Quicklinks interface did undergo some changes, and this is the only place where we have invoices. Is this where you're seeing this? Or is it somewhere else?
