We should research the common ground for invoices and POS receipts
Quoting Jacopo in this commit
Now most of the mandatory information required by EU/VAT countries as described here
This commit implements
- improved code to retrieve the bill-to-party tax id, required by VAT rules only: now the tax id is retrieved only if in the invoice there are taxes of type VAT_TAX
- added shipment date if available
- as required by EU rules for VAT taxes, if there are VAT taxes in the invoice, then a break-down of the VAT amount payable per VAT rate is displayed at the bottom of the invoice
Important: the information that are not relevant for "sales tax" invoices (e.g. US invoices) are not rendered if VAT taxes are not available in the invoice.
