Add a subtotal without tax before adding the tax
Submitted by zmove on Fri, 09/21/2007 - 11:11
Hi there, I'm coming with my new 2$ ideas but today, When you enable the tax module, it should be good to show the subtotal without tax before adding a tax. In addition, it should be good to show the rate of the tax near his name. I believe that showing the subtotal before adding tax is required in europe (not sure) but, in all case, it's a good feature to implement to provide to customer an easy to understand order payment. zmove
You're absolutely right zmove I think this would be a good (and fairly easy) improvement ______________ I like this idea. I think there should be a way for any line_item type module to put a Subtotal line before it's own. Ryan may have some ideas about how to do that. If this hasn't already been done +1 for it.     I didn't see the modification in alpha 7e... It is planed for the beta version ? thanks zmove Added to my feature requests list, but I can't promise I'll be able to get to it. I'm poping up the thread because no more news about this feature It is still planed ? I still have it in my "feature requests" folder, but unfortunately it's non-essential for me at the moment. I will be moving onto the line items API before too long. I would like to add more preasure to this question This questions are essential for european users (at least on euro area) which I would say is a pretty big market We are trying to spread UC but without this it's pretty hard. Thanks in advance for your help & time Can someone do a mock-up to help me understand? In my test sites, the subtotal is usually the only line before tax anyways, so it seems like it's always the "subtotal before tax." I'm guessing you're looking for something w/ discounted items, but I thought you still had to pay tax on the pre-discounted price. Maybe not? This is the current Ubercart behavior about line item : Subtotal : 45$ This is non correct for european shop, because before adding the Tax, you need to specify the amount that serve to calculate it, so it should be like this. Subtotal : 45$ So we need to specify the amount that serve to calculate the tax, it's easy to find it just by make simple calculation, but this is the law, this line have to be mentionned before tax. In invoice too My perspective, then, is that this would have to be included in the tax module and should be made optional for stores that don't require it. (For example, stores that have no shipping, no discount, or simply don't want the subtotal there.) Yes, I think it should be a configurable option of the tax module too. with the last working version of the discounts contrib given by detour here Not only it isn't clear but incorrect too : it shows this in cart checkout : Subtotal: 115,70€ which is very wrong because the 21% VAT has to be calculated on the discounted price, like this : Subtotal: 115,70€ How can i tweak the discount module (as provided by detour) Lyle talked about the fact that the discount module was not doing its main things in the good op case of its checkout_pane hook ( it does things in 'review' , maybe it should do in 'process' ) The discount module does a uc_order_line_item_add() in uc_discounts_order() but I believe i's too late because the uc_taxes module cannot take it into account then . Any help GREATLY appreciated. thanks. drupal 5.5, ubercart alpha8, discounts 20071210. Yes the discount module is not compatible with the tax module. I see this problem some month ago, and, as I had no time to maintain the discount module, I abandonned the idea. If it was coded with the ubercart way, you should have a discount checkbox in your tax module to condiser discount when applying a tax. Maybe it's the case with all module improvement made in the module reply. If not, you need to make some PHP to make it compatible As my client ask me to add this feature very quickly on his store, I tried on the hack of core tax module to implement this function. in uc_taxes_javascript(), I added some lines : <?phpMy goal ATM is to test where to implement in this subtotal in the code, I will take care admin options later. My problem is that this code works, the line item is successfully added to the line item, but the subtotal take care of this line. So I'm asking about some opinions : what is the best way to don't take care of this subtotal ? DO I have to hack the order module to say to total calculation function to don't add the 'taxes_subtotal' line item or is there a better solution ? Got to looking at this problem and ended up fixing a couple others as well. The tax module now adds a subtotal line before the taxes, but only if there are taxes and other line items. I had to modify the payment module so it wouldn't add this subtotal into the order total on the checkout preview. All these changes are available in the bazaar repository.

Showing the subtotal before adding tax is required on most of the european countries.
