RE: ConfirmDispatch_Invoice.php - I tried it as you said and see the problem
... sorry I didn't understand the snag - will put the fix in the next
release we seem to be averaging one a week at the mo. There are some other
issues too - I notice that my PrintCustTrans.php and WWW_Users.php have
introduced a few blemishes - losing session variables for pagesize and the
active module for the menu options to show.

You can always over-ride the calculated freight cost anyway at the time of
invoice - are you talking about at the time of order ?

Yes - there are a number  ( countless :-(  ) of things the system won't
currently do as you point out.
Not sure how to deal with mutliple taxes on one invoice - any solution is
going to be messy I fear. Another few tax fields on the invoice are
possiblities but ugly.

The system is not set up for multi-currency bank accounts - all bank
accounts are in the company's functional currency. There's a whole new can
of worms there.

For mutli-company log in why not seperate URL's for each company - different
logo and company name on the page so all easy??

I think every company will want slightly different stationery - hey you can
charge for such modifications and the client/customer feels special and its
easy to do as part of the installation.
