How do I conditionally merge hashes and add values? - ruby

Question

I am stuck merging some hashes to get the results that I need.
The hashes contain a breakdown of the total price of an order, e.g. item price, taxes, & shipping, for all orders in a subscription. I'm trying to do this dynamically as not all orders charge tax, or even the same tax or shipping.
Here's what I would call the "worst case scenario" that I'm dealing with:
#First order - has charges for Canadian GST and HST
{:orderhdr_id=>17654122, :order_item_seq=>1, :order_item_amt_break_seq=>1, :order_item_break_type=>0, :local_amount=>8.16, :base_amount=>8.16, :orig_base_amount=>149, :tax_delivery=>0, :tax_active=>0}
{:orderhdr_id=>17654122, :order_item_seq=>1, :order_item_amt_break_seq=>2, :order_item_break_type=>1, :local_amount=>0.41, :base_amount=>0.41, :state=>"ON", :tax_type=>"GST", :tax_rate_category=>"STD", :orig_base_amount=>7.45, :tax_rate=>5, :tax_delivery=>0, :tax_active=>1, :tx_incl=>1}
{:orderhdr_id=>17654122, :order_item_seq=>1, :order_item_amt_break_seq=>3, :order_item_break_type=>1, :local_amount=>0.65, :base_amount=>0.65, :state=>"ON", :tax_type=>"HST", :tax_rate_category=>"STD", :orig_base_amount=>11.92, :tax_rate=>8, :tax_delivery=>0, :tax_active=>1, :tx_incl=>1}
#Second order - has only one charge for tax
{:orderhdr_id=>1815296, :order_item_seq=>1, :order_item_amt_break_seq=>1, :order_item_break_type=>0, :local_amount=>76.52, :base_amount=>76.52, :orig_base_amount=>99.95, :tax_delivery=>0, :tax_active=>0}
{:orderhdr_id=>1815296, :order_item_seq=>1, :order_item_amt_break_seq=>2, :order_item_break_type=>1, :local_amount=>4.59, :base_amount=>4.59, :orig_base_amount=>6, :tax_delivery=>0, :tax_active=>1}
#Third order - has charge for shipping
{:orderhdr_id=>6112412, :order_item_seq=>1, :order_item_amt_break_seq=>1, :order_item_break_type=>0, :local_amount=>21.34, :base_amount=>21.34, :orig_base_amount=>99.95, :tax_delivery=>0, :tax_active=>0}
{:orderhdr_id=>6112412, :order_item_seq=>1, :order_item_amt_break_seq=>2, :order_item_break_type=>2, :local_amount=>4.7, :base_amount=>4.7, :orig_base_amount=>22, :tax_delivery=>0, :tax_active=>0}
The :order_item_break_type determines what type of charge it is, item, tax, shipping.
If :order_item_break_type is 0 or 2, then subtract :base_amount from :orig_base_amount and add it to the overall total for that break type. For :order_item_break_type equals 1, I need to sum up the difference of :orig_base_amount and :base_amount, but I need to keep the different taxes separate.
So here's what I should end up with for the above orders:
:break_type = 0 | total = 242.88
:break_type = 1, :state = ON, :tax_type = GST, :tax_rate_category = STD | total = 7.04
:break_type = 1, :state = ON, :tax_type = HST, :tax_rate_category = STD | total = 11.27
:break_type = 1 | total = 1.41
:break_type = 2 | total = 17.30
I have these hashes in an array called #amounts.
I have methods like merge!, inject, shift and more going through my head, but can't put it together.

How about this? I really don't know what you are doing there, though.
#amounts = [
#First order - has charges for Canadian GST and HST

{:orderhdr_id=>17654122, :order_item_seq=>1, :order_item_amt_break_seq=>2, :order_item_break_type=>1, :local_amount=>0.41, :base_amount=>0.41, :state=>"ON", :tax_type=>"GST", :tax_rate_category=>"STD", :orig_base_amount=>7.45, :tax_rate=>5, :tax_delivery=>0, :tax_active=>1, :tx_incl=>1},

]
#totals = Hash.new(0)
#amounts.group_by{|row| row[:order_item_break_type]}.each do |break_type, rows|
rows.each do |row|
key = [break_type, row[:tax_type]]
#totals[key] += row[:orig_base_amount] - row[:base_amount]
end
end
