Tax Inclusive prices before Tax Exclusive

[jonnyatom5]

Hi there,

I've just had a request to show Tax inclusive prices before exclusive which I've managed to do successfully via Page 51 in the AUG.

Now my problem comes when I try to format this Tax inclusive price. It seems to be coming off the following netquotevar; NETQUOTEVARISCOUNT_QUANTITY and the AUG dictionary for this netquotevar says to format it from "Design | Text | Web Site | Misc." but for the life of me I cannot find this anywhere. Can Anyone help please?

Also I'm passing this inclusive price through to a currency converter and this is failing, the Exclusive price is going through via NETQUOTEVAR:COST but not the NETQUOTEVARISCOUNT_QUANTITY. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Is there another way of achieving Tax Inclusive prices before Tax Exclusive that would work with what I want?

Thanks in advance, Garry

If you have followed page 54 of the version 7 AUG, then your costs should be showing properly on the products. Page 52 of the same guide indicates currency conversion should be using NQV:TOTAL.

Does this help?

Hi William

it kind of helps in the fact it brought to my attention I'd got an out of date Advanced User Guide.

It seems what I did now resides on page 56 of the AUG. This works fine on the page and puts the correct prices where and as they should be. However, I cannot format the first, Tax inclusive price, ie make it bigger. On page 152 of the AUG, the NQV dictionary it states to format it from "Design | Text | Web Site | Misc." but I cannot find it.

Now, I've tried substituting NETQUOTEVARISCOUNT_QUANTITY with NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL and all this does is put NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL in as the cost. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks in advance (again), Garry

What shows on the product page is formatted from Act_ProductPrice.html, try making your changes there.

NQV: DISCOUNT_QUANTITY provides information to logged in customers about volume discounts.

NQV: TOTAL is passed to a the Universal Currency Converter to allow users to select any currency for a comparison of their total basket content, IF you have followed the guide for installation of the Currency Converter.

I am not clear on how/where you are doing the conversion - can you elaborate?

Hi there

I am changing the Act_ProductPrice.html template. Here's my code in that template;

<br>
<b> <Actinic:RETAIL_PRICE_TEXT class="actsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:PRICEPROMPT </Actinic:RETAIL_PRICE_TEXT>&nbsp;<span class="actxlarge">NETQUOTEVARISCOUNT_QUANTITY</span>
</b><span class="actsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:TAXMESSAGE</span>&nbsp;<span class="actxsmall">(Excluding
VAT: NETQUOTEVAR:COST)</span><br>
<br>
<img src="butt_currency_conv.gif" width="154" height="25"><a href="javascript:CurrencyPopup('Amount=NETQUOTEVAR:TOTAL&From=GBP&To=EUR')"><img src="butt_euro.gif" width="34" height="25" border="0"></a><a href="javascript:CurrencyPopup('Amount=NETQUOTEVAR:COST&From=GBP&To=USD')"><img src="butt_dollar.gif" width="34" height="25" border="0"></a><a href="javascript:CurrencyPopup('Amount=NETQUOTEVAR:COST&From=GBP')"><img src="butt_other_currency.gif" width="58" height="25" border="0"></a>

As you can see I'm using the Universal Currency Converter (produced by Xenon Laboratories Inc) to pop up the converter. Outside the EU (US and other buttons) will pass through the VAT Exclusive price. Inside the EU will pass through the VAT Inclusive price.

As you see I've tried to format the VAT inclusive using a "<span class="actxlarge">" tag but it makes no difference. Also from the code I took it that this technique for VAT inclusive first used NETQUOTEVARISCOUNT_QUANTITY to display that price, but this will not pass through to the converter

I'm stumped,

I would try applying the actxlarge formatting to NQV: PRICEPROMPT as I think this is returning a combination of the pre-set text plus the Inclusive cost.

DISCOUNT_QUANTITY is definitely a text message and ONLY available in Business.

Your implementation of the UCC from Xenon is unusual - have a read at http://www.xe.com/ecc/shoppers/ - they provide code to produce either an inline FRAME or a popup based on browser ability.

This is usually done in checkout, where the NQV TOTAL will contain the correct with/without VAT amount. I am not sure you can achieve what you want on the product page.

Hiya Bill,

thanks for this input. Things are beginning to clear slightly. The formatting of the VAT Inclusive price comes off the NETQUOTEVAR:TAXMESSAGE, which implies that the VAT Inclusive price is tied into this somehow.

The implementation of the currency converter works fine with VAT Exclusive prices, no problem, it's the passing through of the VAT Inclusive price that I am struggling with.

Hope someone can help, my hairs only just grown back after the last pulling out exercise.

Regards Garry

OK so numpty boy has figured it out at last.

I simply passed the NETQUOTEVAR:TAXMESSAGE into the currency converter and hey presto, simple really.

I hope this helps someone, somewhere.

Regards Garry
