Hi, we are at the implementation stage and curious how did you resolve inconvenience of default setting of GST. apparently, there are only one default option - GST Free. when the AP bill entered in the total we enter $110, tab, tab tab and suddenly it become $121 and you need to redo the bill. 99% of the services and goods are GST Inclusive but the manual work around GST with data entry is very inconvenient. Thank you
t
if you enter the gross amount first (on the row) and it has a tax code, it will reverse calculate what the net should be - you will want to reorder the columns if this is the normal entry process
g
can't you specify tax code for each line item?
m
You should have separate tax codes set up for GST and GST free. Then you can set default tax code per item and it should default accordingly on transactions
i
Thank you... this is what we do, enter gross, tab, tab, tab and at some stage need manually change tax incl and tab again. i'm thinking what can be done to avoid this extra step. how to make default - tax incl?
t
are you SURE you are entering the gross amount first?
at what point, exactly, does the value change?
g
Item record, you can set purchase tax code and sales tax code separately
i
Tristan - the value changes when we tab too quickly and don't change the default GST state to Purchase tax code... this extra step is annoying
thanks george085, we have separately set a few GST codes, just need to set default - tax incl for bill entries
m
You need to set this on each item
i
michoel, when you say about default tax code per item would it work for services? we don't have inventory module and don;t think that we are going to use items
m
Yes, we also pretty much only use service items

thanks a lot... will get back to the developers and ask to tell me more about it

I believe this is because we have Advanced Taxes enabled so set the schedule on item and associate tax codes per tax nexus under the schedule. I think without that feature you would just set tax codes directly on the item (as I recall from my last company).
You shouldn't need a developer for this.
i
well... the developer is also a trainer 🙂 as i mentioned we are newbies with NS
