I've heard the rumor, but I just don't see how they could.

yeah suretax told me that

They might be telling a 3rd party tax companies that they Must be able to support it but there's no way they could force every client to switch without revolts.

makes sense

SuiteTax rumor is they try all new customers by 20.1 and all existing following...not going to happen but a nice plan

Question about Vendor Return Auths - testing those out in our instance it looks like I could only create Bill Credits from them, not Refunds? Is there something simple I’m missing there?

Is there a way to have an inventory item on a credit memo hit a different income account than the one at the item level?

There is an issue in reporting where we can't seem to relate credits back to inventory items because we have to use non-inventory items (or other charge items) to hit a different income account.

so figuring item profitability is off

@darklilcorner - frankly you should be using one and the same account for inventory and credit and your profitability should not be off. In short - no, you cannot. what is the issue that causes you problems?

The accountants in my company want to hit a different income account than the inventory item is set for. Can't associate an inventory item with more than 1 account, so the way they handle it is to make non-inventory items with the different income account that they want. But then, of course, it's a different item and doesn't contribute to inventory profitability

they also have some weird obsession with not using JEs

my best guess at a solution to the current situation is to use the SKU reference field (native to NS) on all sales transaction forms, then organize all reports and searches to group by that field instead of the Item field.

I would create saved searches for those accountants that would meet their needs. It should be all on the same BS account

and using the same item of course

Sorry I don't understand.

In a better situation, we would be just hitting the 1 income account the Inventory Item is attached to yes, as you were saying. Same item same account on invoice and credit memo. The searches for the accountants that meets their needs in that scenario is just transactions that hit that account. However, the way this company has been doing it, is to use separate income accounts to separate out Product Revenue and Discounts to Product Revenue

Well, you should be using Discount Item then, no? Credit is not the Discount, two different things. Have you looked at Discount Item?

this should serve your needs Credit is something else, amount received as a result of return of the product

Discount Items are used to reduce a transactions total, yes? These discounts are not necessarily to do with specific transactions, and are not known before the Invoice is sent to the customer

The customer sends us payment accounting for additional discounts taken as per some agreement. They can potentially relate the discount to an item but not 1 transaction.

so credit are created for the short. I believe is how and why this is all specifically happening this way

Yes, discount items are exactly that. You add this item at your pleasure to sales orders/invoices; you d not have to. You set up this item with attributes required. when you bill it you include full price item (with your inventory setup) and your discount item for that specific inventory item. Yes, you will need multiple discount items sounds like from your description above

so if the discount doesn't have to do with any 1 transaction, what would be the procedure? I think AR is calling the actual process a Deduction.

yes, you can call it deduction. but the NS functionality is using Discount Item. If you want reporting netting your inventory items per item you must create multiple discount item (one for each corresponding inventory item)

okay I will look into it further to see if it will work for AR

thank you

you so welcome!

Or you could do subtotal and apply discount to the subtotal

However it seems like they are doing this when you get short paid. Which is a different problem than discounting your sales order/invoice
