[GNC-dev] Country specific Invoices

[john]

The simplest way would be to obtain or write a script in javascript to obtain the validation code. You'd insert that into a custom invoice report and display the result somewhere on the resulting invoice. 

The main downside of that approach is that you'll be querying for the validation code every time you run the report. If the API gives you the same validation code every time you send it the same information without complaint then that's not a problem. If it is a problem then the best alternative would be to add a persistent report option and use Guile's web client (https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Web-Client.html) module to fill in the validation code and figure out some place to store it.

John Ralls
