Topic: Change in Taxes rate does not update Tax Group rate.

I'm testing out Front Accounting and noticed that after changing the tax rate under Setup->Taxes any new Sales Quotation was still using the original 5% sales tax from the original installation of the application.

I'm not yet familiar with the code and had a hard time following it so I looked into the database and noticed there is a tax_group_items table with a field named rate that had the old 5% tax rate. So I went to Setup->Tax Groups and selected the group but the form showed the updated rate. I clicked on the Update button and then checked the tax_group_items table and the rate had been updated.

It seems the rate in the tax_group_items table is redundant and there is a bug where by the rate does not get updated when the rate in tax_types is changed even though the Tax Groups form displays the correct rate.

Since the Tax Group form references the tax_types table for the correct rate it may be best to change the quotation/sales form to also reference the tax_types table for the correct rate and drop the rate field from the tax_group_items table.
