The previous guidelines for titles and headings included an exception to
capitalize feature names as they are written in the apps. However, this
exception seems to have confused most writers as it isn't always clear
what should be considered as a feature name or what should be considered
as a noun or noun group. This commit removes this exception to make the
writing and reviewing processes easier while retaining good titles and
improving consistency across the documentation. It also changes the
titles of the Accounting section to provide a better example to other
writers.

Fiscal positions (tax and account mapping)
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
Default taxes and accounts are set on products and customers to create new transactions on the fly.
|
|
However, you might have to use different taxes and record the transactions on different accounts,
|
|
according to your customers' and providers' localizations and business types.
|
|
|
|
**Fiscal Positions** allow you to create *sets of rules* to automatically adapt the taxes and the
|
|
accounts used for a transaction.

|
|
|
|
They can be applied in various ways:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`automatically applied, based on some rules <fiscal_positions/automatic>`
|
|
- :ref:`manually applied on a transaction <fiscal_positions/partner>`
|
|
- :ref:`assigned to a partner, on its contact form <fiscal_positions/transaction>`
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
A few Fiscal Positions are already preconfigured on your database, as part of your :doc:`Fiscal
|
|
Localization Package <../../fiscal_localizations/overview/fiscal_localization_packages>`.
|

Configuration

|
Tax and Account Mapping
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
To edit or create a Fiscal Position, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Fiscal
|
|
Positions`, and open the entry you want to modify or click on *Create*.
|
|
|
|
The mapping of taxes and accounts is based on the default taxes and accounts defined in the
|
|
products' forms.
|
|
|
|
- To map to another tax or account, fill out the right column (**Tax to Apply**/**Account to Use
|
|
Instead**).
|
|
- To remove a tax, rather than replacing it with another, leave the field **Tax to Apply** empty.
|
|
- To replace a tax with multiple other taxes, add multiple lines with the same **Tax on Product**.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The mapping only works with *active* taxes. Therefore, make sure they are active by going to
|
|
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Taxes`.
|
|
|
|
.. _fiscal_positions/automatic:
|
|
|
|
Automatic application
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
You can configure your Fiscal Positions to be applied automatically, following a set of conditions.
|
|
|
|
To do so, open the Fiscal Position you want to modify and click on **Detect Automatically**. You can
|
|
configure a few conditions:
|
|
|
|
- **VAT Required**: The VAT number *must* be indicated in the customer's contact form.
|
|
- **Country Group** / **Country**: The Fiscal Position is applied to these countries.
|

|
|
.. note::
|
|
Taxes on **eCommerce orders** are automatically updated once the visitor has logged in or filled
|
|
out their billing details.
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
The Fiscal Positions' **sequence** - the order in which they are arranged - defines which
|
|
Fiscal Position to apply if the conditions are met in multiple Fiscal Positions.
|
|
|
|
For example, if the first Fiscal Position targets *country A*, and the second Fiscal Position
|
|
targets a *Country Group* that also comprises *country A*, only the first Fiscal Position will be
|
|
applied to customers from *country A*.

Application

===========

|
|
|
.. _fiscal_positions/partner:
|
|
|
|
Assign a Fiscal Position to a partner
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can manually define which Fiscal Position must be used by default for a specific partner.
|
|
|
|
To do so, open the partner's contact form, go to the **Sales & Purchase** tab, edit the **Fiscal
|
|
Position** field, and click on *Save*.
