Different invoice note based on shipping address

[Scnd]

According to Italian law, and probably the law of all other EU states due to the "Council Directive 2010/45/EU", invoices are required to display different textual descriptions depending on the destination.

These are the possibilities (I'll use IT, FR and US as examples):

1. IT to IT
   
2. IT to IT with VAT (but this is beyond the scope of this post)
   
3. IT to FR
   
4. IT to US
   

What we need to achieve is an invoice template aware of the destination of the goods. Then, based on that variable, different description texts can be displayed.

 

The "easy" hack would be to edit /pdf/invoice.tpl and add a conditional statement (any help?)

The perfect solution would be to allow the creation of more invoice templates, and the possibility to assign an invoice template to each customer group.
