Known issues / Roadmap

• Not all the taxes combination can be compatible with global discounts, as the generated journal items won’t be correct for taxes declarations. An error is raised in that cases.
• Currently, taxes in invoice lines are mandatory with global discounts.
• No tax tags are populated for the global discount move lines, only tax_ids.
