taxclass

Tax class

description

Human readable description of the tax class

METHODS

new HASHREF

Creates a new tax class. To add the tax class to the database, see "insert".

Note that this stores the hash reference, not a distinct copy of the hash it points to. You can ask the object for a copy with the hash method.

insert

Adds this record to the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

delete

Delete this record from the database.

replace OLD_RECORD

Replaces the OLD_RECORD with this one in the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

check

Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid tax class. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false. Called by the insert and replace methods.

batch_import

Loads part_pkg_taxrate records from an external CSV file. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

BUGS

 batch_import does not handle mixed I and D records in the same file for
 format cch-update
