Hello Everyone I have a few questions i need help with: Topic: Accounting GL accounts and passthrough tax question Question: a. Is there a way to make Net Suite allow us to use the same account for items that we want to make sure get billed to the customer based on our vendors charging us those taxes? b. If not, then we will need to add GL accounts for each state as income and also as expense, but have to make Excel sheets to manually reconcile them? Until I know which GL accounts I am using, I cannot create the template for our other charges for these. There are over 200 of them (several for each state), so we strongly prefer not to have to enter them manually. If there is no way to use a single account for these to “pass through”, then I also have to set up whole new sets of GL accounts for these. these are NOT sales tax items – they are various fuel taxes for each state.

Can you use one account/item but make a custom segment for the state? Then you income statement can show one account line but each state as a column. Or make two custom segments one to represent the tax type one for the state?

Hello Maven Cloud I am not sure of you are making a suggestion or asking me questions? I am not an accountant we have a client who is running into this issue and we need the questions answered. So help would be welcomed if someone knew the answer to this question. Thanks

Sorry I am suggesting you use 1 account on the invoice and use a custom segment to provide the detail of different states and tax types
