Calculate Use Tax on Consumed Inventory?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 215

Has anyone found an easy way to calculate use tax on the cost of inventory that was purchased tax-free for resale but is later being used internally?  Item Journals appear to be the easiest way to do a negative inventory adjustment, but there appears to be no way to calculate use tax when doing an Item Journal.  Just curious if anyone has found a work around to streamline this - it would be great to find a way to have Business Central calculate and post the tax payable amount at the same time the cost of the inventory is adjusted-out of inventory and posted to a G/L account like inventory adjustments or office supplies, etc.

    In some cases we have used a workaround where we invoice it to a special internal customer ledger to achieve this. Is that an option for you ?
