#2864 Remove GST from OSCAR

[Jarrett Chisholm]

Hi all

Can we remove GST from OSCAR? It is no longer used in Ontario...

I ask as we have seen some bugs caused by the use of a 'gstBilledTotal' hidden value when creating a 3rd party bill - the bill doesn't get settled properly, as this 'gstBilledTotal' hidden field is used (instead of just the 'total'...). Not sure why we are using this gstBilledTotal value instead of total.

Anyway, we worked around the issue by updated the hidden gstBilledTotal field, but do we really even need this field anymore?

To replicate our issue:

1) Create new private codes in the system (Manage Private Billing Code in Admin Page)
e.g. Code: _U008 Description: Private code for sick notes Price: 50 Issue Date: 2011-12-02
Code: _M7890 Description: Private code for Legal Notes Price: 100 Issue Date: 2011-12-02

2) Create a new service Code (Manage Billing Service Code in Admin Page)
e.g. Code: H999S Description: HST Percentage Code * Percentage:* 0.13 Issue Date: 2011-12-02

3) Open a Create invoice page & Select 3rd Party on the drop down
4) Type in all 3 Codes on the Top Left Area ( Pink section)
5) Ensure that a provider selected for the Billing Physician
6) Click Next
7) Select the checkboxes on the H999S line to apply the percentage on the private codes
8) Double click on the Payments text box: This will show the Amount form the Total Txtbox.
9) Click on Settle and Print Invoice
10) On the generated invoice page, Check the balance amount. It will be 13 % amount of the other codes used.
