Hi,

can I hear the accounting experts' opinions on the following matter:

The account form in OpenERP invites the financial manager to add default 
taxes to (expense or income) accounts. A product template or category 
can have such an account as a default income or expense account. When 
such a product is invoiced directly, the taxes from the configured 
accounts are applied to the invoice (when no taxes are entered 
specifically on the product). Other parts of the system, such as 
purchase or sale orders do not support this and need the taxes to be 
configured directly on each and every product.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/+bug/796570

In the Netherlands, one out of three tax rates applies based on the type 
of product. Having the taxes deriving from the product category is 
therefore a very natural configuration. I would like to gather your 
support for the implementation of this behaviour throughout the system.

Regards,
Stefan.
