Interfaces

 

XML Interface

 

US-67215

Modification made to the CreatePurchaseOrderInvoicing XML function to consider the values present in the tax tags in the XML file structure, even if a receipt of goods "Counter" is present. When creating an invoice for a stock order from catalogue using the XML interface, it was possible to specify one or more receipts of goods "Counter" numbers, which made it unnecessary to fill in all the fields in the breakdown grid. However, the interface did not take into account any changes that users wanted to make to taxes; the tax-related tags were completely ignored. The objective of this development is therefore to take tax tags into account when they are present, even if the receipt of goods "Counter" is present in the XML structure.
