Useful combinations

VAT calculation in a sub-flow

In the main flow a list of customer purchases is compiled. For each purchase the customer's location as well as the net amount is captured.

To determine the country specific vat and thereby the correct gross amount a sub flow is executed.

FORM SUBMISSIONS

customer

buyerCountry

netAmount

buyerCountry

grossAmount

netAmount

In the sub flow first the relevant input variables are defined. The net amount as well as the location is passed to the sub-flow.

From a VAT sheet the country specific VAT rate is extracted.

Using the correct VAT rate the gross amount is calculated and passed as an output variable of the sub flow.

After the sub-flow has been executed the main flow is updating the correct gross amount.
