Sorry I did not find the time yet to seriously review your patch. Before tacking this work I want to finish some OFBiz minors tasks
I planned from some time now (in POS for instance). I will soon create a page like for implementations of the ProjectMgr component
and  Accounting component (GL).

I completly agree with the way you have implemented it. I recently worked on a such VAT implementation for an UK site which uses
Neogia and it's how it's done in Neogia too (at the order item level).

I finally had a quick glance at work and it seems that you did not work in order manager. I did number of specific changes around
all that in Neogia (Shipping & Handing, Promotions with update in order view, etc.). I have some ideas from my recent experience. I
will review your work soon, hope we will find a common ground ;o)

Thanks
