On the Invoice, there is a column that says Tax and even though the items are taxable and the tax is added in after the sub-total, the column sales "None!" for each item. I would like to just get rid of the column all together.
Thanks so much!

I also see the problem with the invoice where the Tax says "None!".
The "None!" comes from admin/super_invoice.php line 239
Code:
if ($display_tax) {
echo zen_display_tax_value($order->products[$i]['tax']) . '%';
}
else {
echo ENTRY_NO_TAX;
}
and 'ENTRY_NO_TAX' is defined in admin/includes/languages/english/super_invoice.php.
Code:
define('ENTRY_NO_TAX', 'None!');
The odd thing is the definition of $display_tax (admin/super_invoice.php line 34)
Code:
$display_tax = (FED_TAX_ID_NUMBER == '' ? true : false);
In the Admin>Config>Super Orders it says:
Federal Tax Exempt Number
If your tax exempt, then you should have a federal tax ID number. Enter the number here and the tax columns will not appear on the invoice. The number will also be displayed at the top of the invoice.
This makes NO sense at all. It seems that it is talking about the CUSTOMER's tax ID number, but the admin entry would be the STORE tax ID number. I know that Super Orders wants to ADD the use of Purchase Orders for customers, but I did not implement that because all my customers are credit card or PayPal. If the order were a purchase order then it would make sense that the customer would add THEIR tax ID number to avoid paying tax (e.g. if they were buying for resale, etc). But the fact that the display of the columns and the "None!" depends on $display_tax (the STORE tax ID number) makes NO sense to me. Perhaps Frank can explain that to us.
Also, in the "Details" report there are several 'redundant' columns. Tax Price (ex) Price (inc) Total (ex) Total (inc)
I can understand the Tax column if you have a mix of taxable and non-taxable items or different rates of tax per product. But I don't see the point of the double set of (ex) and (inc) columns. I seem to recall the in some countries it is required to show price with and without tax, but this is in the "Details" report and NOT on the invoice where I would expect it. If this is the case, it would be nice to have a switch in the Admin config section to turn it off for U.S. users who don't need it. In fact, as I read this, I am thinking that there should have been TWO variables, $display_taxID which controls the display of the tax ID number of the store and $display_tax which is a switch to turn on/off the display of the (ex) and (inc) columns in both the details page and the invoice.
One last thought. In the Totals column, I would suggest that in the USUAL case where tax is NOT charged on the shipping costs, the Tax amount should appear just after the Sub-Total and BEFORE the Shipping charges.
Frank, this is a great mod. My shop would not be able to work without it. I'm not complaining, just trying to understand some of the details.
BTW, any hope on including the tare in the Total Weight shown in the Totals column.
