I'm a Non-VAT Company from Poland. I'd like to put info on invoice for EU companies that they are obligued to calculate VAT for themselves. Will the invoice already include such info when I have Non-VAT Company option ON in address type section and buyer enters it's VAT number?

Thanks!

It won't display any info.
When the VAT is charged (because it didn't provide a VAT number), the EU company doesn't have to calculate anything because you're already charging the VAT yourself. When the VAT is not charged (because it provided a valid VAT number), the EU company doesn't have to pay any tax to you or to its tax office for the payment, so even in this case, I don't see why you would need such text.
We are also a EU company and never heard of such requirements from our accoutant or our tax office.

Thanks for the answer.
I do not charge VAT. I'm only registered to VAT-EU. When VAT number is not added nothing happens - gives price stays as is. For EU companies giving VAT they have to calculate the tax and pay it in their own countries, for companies outside EU nothing happens. That's all I know from my bookie. :)
Therefore I need to add one general info regarding the issue or try to filter EU companies and add info just to their Inv.
The same story with Google AdWords. I receive the Invoice with VAT not added but with the note that I have to calculate it myself. It's called "reversed charge".
Anyways:
could you tell me how to add two lines of txt at the bottom of the Invoice? I'm using Joomla 3.2.3. and basic Protostar skin. The site: www.justhdr.pl

You can edit the file "invoice" of the view "order" via the menu Display>Views and add your text at the bottom of the file for that.

I've found this tip in other posts but couldn't find the "Invoice". But as I check it again I was filtering by my Site Template name and it's about Administrator Template like Bluestork in HikaShop Demo?
My php knowledge on the scale between 0 and 10 equals 0. Could you please tell me how the code lines should be and where should I put them to get 2 lines of txt below invoice area?
Thanks!
That solution will do the job but is not perfect as the txt will work as a general information and will appear on all invoices. Could you consider addind an option of adding custom areas or txts to the Invoice from the back-end without the ned of digging into the code? Or maybe it is possible in vigher versions of HikaShop?

Hi,

The view override is in the menu "HikaShop > Display > Views".
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/i...op-view-listing.html
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/i...ashop-view-form.html
www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...-display.html#layout

The "order | invoice" view is displayed in the backend for the administrators, so you have to look at the backend views.
In the front-end, the order can be displayed but the view is "order | show".

View overrides are not very difficult and if made a mistake you can simply remove your override to retrieve the original file.
You have to know where in the HTML you want to put your text and some something like

<?php echo JText::_('MY_INVOICE_EXTRA_TEXT'); ?>
Thanks to it, you will use the translation system and you will be able to change your text in the HikaShop translation (in the override part it will be better).
MY_INVOICE_EXTRA_TEXT="Some extra text for my invoice override"
Modifying the text in your invoice will become easier because you won't have to modify the view, just change the translation as you want.

We will see to add some extra text in the invoice footer. By default the translation will be empty but you have the possibility to override it.
Language override is easier than view override (even if the view override is not very complicated but I understand that it can be frightening).
