Location where the tax and shipping field should be placed

The way koha currently manage tax caculation is wrong. You cannot use an global
tax rate because not all items are taxed the same way. When using multiple
taxes, sometimes taxes are applied differently according to the type of items.
Shipping fees cannot be predicted in advance because it changes from a suplier
to another.

My suggestion is to add tax and shipping fields into the shipment reception
page (see screenshot attached). The fields could be:

Tax 1
Tax 2
Shipping fee
Other Fee

The idea is that when you receive a new shipment, the first thing to do would
be to write down the taxes and the shipping fees.

Then you can check the items you have received, and the total amount for
shipping and taxes will simply be added at the end of the invoice.

This way you are sure that the final price will match the total on the invoice.
