Query
What is difference between Grand Amount and Gross amount?

Are the samples we have ‘genuine’?

Is there always a tax element? (if tax rule on item is ‘not taxable’
then will there be a tax element?)
Need samples of Transaction level discounts (if applicable)
Need samples of Line item level discounts (if applicable)
How is price represented in Eire?
How is geography determined - store id?
Is tax type/rule held against line item?
Clarification/Expansion

e.g. We have a transaction of value $%.74 with a tender amount

of 25.00 - if this is genuine it needs explanation
