Re: Tax Override Bug

[Dieter S. <dsi...@sq...>]

Taxes are recalculated when you press "Update Form"

To override the amount you change the amount before you post. Of course
the total displayed is incorrect but it will be stored correctly.

There was a bug in 1.8.0 where only the first tax was recalled. Thus
you had to press "Update Form" to recalculate the form. There is patch
on the download page which fixes that.

All the taxes are recalled and displayed as stored. As long as you do not
press "Update Form" the taxes will remain as is.
