Support / 1.04 issues with tax calculations in Parcelforce extension & fixed cost shipping
« on: September 20, 2012, 08:47:07 AM »
1. I have identified that there is an issue with the totals & tax calculation in the Parcelforce shipping extension. 1.04 works fine with Citylink which is essantially the same extension with different wording to the parcelforce one.
e.g: This is a copy of what happens with parcelforcetotals
Sub-Total: £8.29
Parcelforce 48 (Weight: 0.23kg) (Estimated Time: Within 48 Hours): £1.00
UK Vat 20%: £1.86
Total: £11.15
the subtotal (£8.29) shows as an ex tax price which is correct
However the shipping cost is added as a tax inclusive price into the total, this is not correct.
Also the price shown for shipping before it gets added into totals is not the correct value either. Please note that this is only with Parcelforce and works as it should do with citylink.
Please note that I have set vat values for local tax & need to show correct totals & charge correct amount of tax. Most important!
2. You need to be aware that if you have a fixed cost shipping price set in the product listing, this causes an incorrect value in the shipping total if you use the other shipping extensions, even if you don't have flat shipping enabled. As it stands you have to make sure you dont have a value for fixed shipping set in the product listings if you intend to use anything other than flat rate shipping!
Hope this helps & will be addressed in next version.
Thanks guys!
