The answer to your question is unequivocally no. But like I said, you can accomplish the same thing using conditional logic placed in the structure.pdt file similar to what I showed.

Sounds like it could be an issue with an older version of the migrator. Did you use the migrator included in the 3.1.0-b1 installation, or the one downloaded from the forums? You should use the one included with 3.1.0-b1.

I once worked at a very small IT company in the UK. They proudly displayed their VAT registration certificate in a picture frame on the wall... However in other countries thresholds are much lower -or non-existent- and virtually all companies are VAT registered. >But I don't remember hearing they have to have certain things and have to invoice them specially not automatically. It is not required. You can indeed just write out a normal invoice. But in the EU the accrual accounting method is used, and not cash accounting. This means that the moment you write out the invoice, you owe VAT to the government, which you usually have to pay to them monthly, quarterly or yearly depending on country and the size of your company. If some time later you find out you are unable to collect payment, you do have the option to cancel the invoice by creating a credit note with negative amounts, and get the VAT you may have already paid back at the end of the next accounting period. Writing out a credit note is currently not possible with Blesta though. There is another thread on that. Another option is writing out pro-forma invoices first and a normal invoice after payment. The upside is that you do not owe VAT instantly if you are doing it that way, and can postpone it until you are sure of payment. The downside is that a pro-forma invoice is essentially a voluntary offer to the customer. He has no obligation to pay it, and you cannot take follow-up action against him if he does not (cannot send it to a debt collection agency, etc.) Whether that is a problem depends on what you are selling and the terms you have with the customer.
