.pdf INVOICING

In New Zealand, invoices must incorporate our Company GST number (for tax purposes).

How do I add this to the programme?

Thanks

1. Go to Admin area > Configuration > Tax > Tax Settings.
2. Ensure that "Display tax suffix" is checked

Many thanks Andrei for your prompt reply. The 'display tax suffix' was already checked.

I will explain in more detail for you. My New Zealand GST (Goods & Services Tax) number is 40-860-401. In order for customers to claim this tax content back, I must display this number on each invoice.

There may be a field that I can somehow add this line in (ie    GST: 40-860-401) to keep the taxman happy!

Thanks

It'll require some customizatiom. Look at \Libraries\Nop.BusinessLogic\Utils\PDFHelper.cs file (PrintOrderToPDF() method).

as a very simple solution, find this and add the line in bold -



            Section sec = doc.AddSection();

            Paragraph p1 = sec.AddParagraph(String.Format(LocalizationManager.GetLocaleResourceString("PDFInvoice.Order#", LanguageID), order.OrderID));
            p1.Format.Font.Bold = true;
            p1.Format.Font.Color = Colors.Black;

            sec.AddParagraph(SettingManager.StoreURL.Trim(new char[] { '/' })).AddHyperlink(SettingManager.StoreURL, HyperlinkType.Url);

            sec.AddParagraph("GST: 40-860-401");



            var addressTable = sec.AddTable();





if you want to customize the invoice more, get more information at http://www.pdfsharp.net/

Many thanks for your effort & skills to post this reply. Really appreciated!

Can this be changed directly on site by the end user with no fuss (with a text editor), or do I need to get in a developer to "recompile" the whole project and upload a new "build"?

you could do it by adding a resource string - it would be accessible through admin > content management > localisation

first go to localisation and add the resouce string

GeneralSalesTax.Text     (or something that suits your scenario better)

set the value   as   the tax number    eg    40-860-401

then add the following line to pdfhelper.cs
sec.AddParagraph("GST : " + LocalizationManager.GetLocaleResourceString("GeneralSalesTax.Text"));

recompile

the tax number can then be changed by then end user anytime at all
