Show VAT number in EU customer mail

[wjcampbe]

I thought this had been covered before, but my searches turned up nothing.

Can I show the content of (is it EXEMPT1DATA?) the customer input VAT number in the customer email?

Hi Bill,

Glad I can help you for a change ;-)

Edit Act_CustomerEmail.txt
Insert the following on it's own line before <Actinic:CART/>

<Actinic:EXEMPT1/>
<Actinic:EXEMPT2/>

Save and Exit.

Edit OrderScript.pl
Search for "# Print the company contact"
Insert the following line before the comments

if ($::g_TaxInfo{EXEMPT1})
{
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('EXEMPT1', "Tax 1 exemption " .
$::g_TaxInfo{EXEMPT1});
}
else
{
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('EXEMPT1', "");
}
if ($::g_TaxInfo{EXEMPT2})
{
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('EXEMPT2', "Tax 2 exemption " .
$::g_TaxInfo{EXEMPT2});
}
else
{
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('EXEMPT2', "");
}

Save and exit.
Update site.

Kind regards,

Thanks Bruce,

functional but not pretty...

It shows in the email but description is Tax 1 exemption rather than picking up the tax name and printing out as VAT exemption (or TVA or GST).

Still, it meets the spec

Thanks again,

[wjcampbe]

I was wrong - it is not showing - I get Tax 1 Exemption 1 running into the Phone number....

Just going to run through the changes again.

Does it make a difference that this is v7.0.4?

Should not make a difference.

Kind regards,

You can replace "Tax 1 exemption " with the correct Tax Value so that it shows, the display is coming from here.

Kind regards,

Just spoke to support. I may not have been clear in my requirements...

If a buyer in Germany enters DE123456778 in the VAT number here box, we want the email to show

Name
Address
Phone

VAT exempt
DE123456778

support are on it.

I've almost got it.

Change the code to

	if ($::g_TaxInfo{EXEMPT1})
		{
		$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('EXEMPT1', "VAT exempt " . $::g_TaxInfo{EXEMPT1DATA});
		}
	else
		{
		$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('EXEMPT1', "");
		}
	if ($::g_TaxInfo{EXEMPT2})
		{
		$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('EXEMPT2', "Tax 2 exempt " . $::g_TaxInfo{EXEMPT2DATA});
		}
	else
		{
		$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('EXEMPT2', "");
		}

and it prints the correct data - just runs the VAT number into the Telephone number - now I just need a line feed - is that \n?

Solved - my hack on the perl combined with moving the <Actinic:EXEMPT1/>
<Actinic:EXEMPT2/> into the body of Act_CustomerEmail.txt (between COUNTRY - SEP and PHONE.

gives us

Belgium
VAT exempt BE4466557788
0123 456 789

Success. Many Thanks to Robert.
