Fiscal positions (tax and account mapping)¶
Default taxes and accounts are set on products and customers to create new transactions on the fly. However, depending on the customers’ and providers’ localization and business type, using different taxes and accounts for a transaction might be necessary.
Fiscal positions allow the creation of rules to adapt the taxes and accounts used for a transaction automatically.
They can be applied automatically, manually, or assigned to a partner.
Notitie
Several default fiscal positions are available as part of your fiscal localization package.
