How to differentiate between invoices with included and excluded prices?

Hello @ all,

for all of you who celebrate x-mas I wish you’ve had a merry christmas! For all of you who do not celebrate this, I hope you’ve had peaceful days and maybe another nice feast.

In Germany we differentiate between “Netto-” and “Brutto-Rechnungen”. That means invoices which on the one hand (for private custumers in general) every price within an invoice is written including taxes but the taxes are shown in another section or in the totals section as “including taxes in amount of …” or something. On the other hand (for business-customers) prices are written excluding taxes. The taxes in this case will be added in the totals section (as a must have!). I guess you know what I mean.

The problem is, that I do not know how to use both “systems” in one Invoice-Ninja-instance. I used to create a special invoice-design using twig calculating taxes per unit-cost per line. But this leads to wrong calculations. There’s a complex discussion about it on Github which was cut off, sadly.

However, does anyone of you guys have both b2c- and b2b-invoices in use? How do you manage to differentiate between both invoice-kinds?

Thanks for every good idea!

Hi,

Merry Christmas to you as well!

If the clients are separate maybe you can use group to configure the different settings? Otherwise I think you’d need to create separate companies.

Hello @hillel ,

yes, I already set up different groups. But there are no suitable group-settings to achieve my goal – but using different invoice-designs which I’ve already use. But the problem there is that there’s only one way to save unit-prices for products or services: including or not including taxes. I made the designs by calculating the prices by twig from taxless to tax-including prices per line and everywhere else. But there are rounding-issues which lead to wrong total-calculations.

That’s why I’m asking the community for other ways.
