There are 22 counties in Florida, so I only have 22 different sales tax zones that I need to worry about.

Sales tax is ONLY calculated on a COUNTY basis.

I think you like to make things overly complex.

I will be coming out with a new version that makes sure the Short Name of a debtor_master record is unique and the Branch Name of a custome_branch is also unique for osC imports

Tom

Yeah, ok.

COnsider these facts:

1 - It does not appear that very many people would are using the osc_orders addon
2 - osCommerce is pretty old, so anyone having $100k in sales would likely not be using it

A taco stand is not likely to use osC, osC is a web store, having 200 transactions within a 10 mile radius of a given *remote* location is a long shot

I pay all the sales tax I am bound to pay in Florida, as a PERSON I can not be required to follow all the tax laws of all 50 states, it is an unnecessary burden upon me.

There is a huge difference between me and Wayfair and most people using osCommerce (or any Free e-commerce solution) are likely not big enough to be included.

I wonder what they are smoking on Colorado to think they can enforce sales tax laws like that on individuals. (you said all Deliveries)

Tom

Good point, I will have append a unique id to the short name (maybe osc customers_id)

I have the tax rates just fine, the tax rate is based upon the delivery address, which is what the Branches identify.

In osc I have about 22 tax rates for Florida, one for each county - which is the way osc was designed.

I get a notice from the state of Florida (along with my filing forms) with the tax rate changes... change in osc and change in FA poof all done

Tom

I am using it and will likely keep using it on my own site mostly because I don't want to deal with porting everything into a new program/db

I have been updating the osc_orders module to better map osc customers to FA debtor_masters

Is there a way an addon can get notified of db transactions?

delete debtor_master record (to delete mapping to osc cID)
maybe order dispatch to enter comments in osc orders history and maybe email customer.

Tom

Are you suggesting adding an account number to the debtors_master table?

If so, I strongly AGREE!

I get 99% of my sales orders from web orders that I import from my osCommerce site

Can we add that in FA2.5?

Is there a projected release date for FA2.5?

Tom

So it appears that voiding a transaction does remove the record totally from the stock_moves table.

So THAT is the problem with my DB, I will delete that record and all should be well.

Been using FA for over 9 years and this is the first db issue I have had

tom

When I was comparing my database to the FA2.4 I found a number of fields had different default values and such, so I felt it might be better if I make my DB conform to the exact same structures of demo data.

So here is what I ended up doing:
1. Exported my data with phpMyAdmin keeping Just the Data and truncating the tables (as opposed to dropping them)
2. I created a fresh DB and imported the 2.3.26 demo data with phpMyAdmin (my system was FA2.3.16)
3. I imported my Data Only with phpMyAdmin
4. I then logged into an admin account of my DB and did a Software Update

All appears to be well.

The same steps could work for an FA2.4 db clean up as well

Tom

After a detailed look at my database I have found that he difference between my tables (2.3.16) and 2.3.26 are that 3 fields are out of order.
Seems they were added to the end not in the middle.

There are also many defaults that are different.

I am wondering if I could export my DATA only and import into the 2.3.26 tables (truncating the tables before inserting)

It seems that could work, unless I am missing anything obvious

Thoughts?
(Yes everything is backed up so total failure is not a real problem)
