Localisation for Pakistan

I am absolutely new to Tryton. The biggest difficulty am facing is the lack of documentation. I want to localize the accounting for Pakistan. Where can I find the relevant information?

Hi Azfar, Tryton has official documentation at https://docs.tryton.org/ and this forum, perhaps the howto section, use search, etc.

I presume you have had a look at Account Module — Tryton module for accounting
Frankly I find the documentation to be in decent shape technically, but sometimes I find that it can be a bit difficult to understand if you do not already know the Tryton design.

My opinion is that in order to get a precise answer, you need to ask a precise question.

  1. If we are talking about language translations (see Translation — Tryton server ) you can create locally on your database a language and begin translating from English. Reports such as invoice are also translated if the party language is set right. Please ask if you have a speciffic question.
  2. What sort of localization are we talking about, what do you want to do with accounting?
    1. Do you want to use management accounting, that is use accounting to keep track of your activity?
    2. Or do you want to use Tryton to do your fiscal (tax) reports?

For example using tryton to keep track of your customer’s invoices can usually be done out of the box with very little effort.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I want to apply the tax regime for Pakistan to my business.

My understanding of what you want to do is to put the Tax. on the invoice based on the value (base) of the invoice.
There are more proper ways to set things up, but this is the quickest. Am I understanding it correctly?

Usually you will have goods that have different tax categories, for example where my company is we have 0% for some goods, then a reduced rate for food of 9%, then 21% general tax (VAT).

  1. First you have to create the taxes: Design — Tryton module for accounting
    Here put the percentage of tax.
  2. Then create an product account category, put the tax here and associate each product which has this tax with this category.
    Design — Tryton module to add accounting on product

I hope I understood correctly what you want to do.

If you want to do fiscal reporting, or a proper module to be able to set up multiple databases easier, then you need to do what is written in the link Sergi posted.
