In the Pricing and Ordering section of a company or department a tax rate profile can be selected. The calculation of shipping rates can be enabled and a payment module can be selected. In addition to this it defines the shipping rate profiles visible in the order working. If multiple profiles are available the end user can select the preferred method.
