[TRUNK] Tax name must be unique

[Kyle Waid]

In the l10n_ca module, we use same name for taxes as the GST (federal sales tax) is a child tax of many other taxes (provincial sale taxes) :

Tax : PSTGST in Manitoba (MB)
- GST (5%)
- PST (7%)

Tax : PSTGST in Saskatchewan (SK)
- GST (5%)
- PST (5%)

In trunk, I get an error message "Tax Name must be unique per company!" when trying to install the module.

As it doesn't make sense to have a different name for each occurence of GST, would it be possible to add the ability for a tax to be the child of many others ?

I turned this into a bug, because I have also had this issue. When using the default chart of accounts it produces a tax name must be unique. Nothing I changed alleviated the issue.

To reproduce, Please try and create new database with trunk addons, server and install account module.

Hello,

I have faced the same problem at my end.

The same issues was posted in past for different chart of account so would you please look at lp:854697 and lp:871680.

Thanks.

Hello Amit,

I have proposed the same solution in my merge proposal as the bugs you mention.

This is a different bug as it relates to l10n_ca module...

Cheers,

thanks
BTW - is it still possible to duplicate a tax? (adding "(copy)" to the name ......
