Hi
I'm not sure that what I am seeing is expected behaviour or not, hence the following question.
We have a project, where we have disbursements. We buy goods and services on the local market and then we invoice our client for these costs. The client is based abroad and as such, different VAT codes apply to the purchase of the goods vs the passing on of the costs.
When I go to Purchase Ledger (accounts payable) --> Journals --> Invoices --> Invoice Journal, I do the following.
- Define the line for the Vendor (account type = Vendor)
- Define the line for the project (account type = Project)
- Set VAT Group and Item VAT Group on the Overview Form. As per the help file, I understand these to be for the purchase.
- Switch to the Project tab and select the VAT Group and Item VAT Group for the project. As per my understanding, the codes selected here will apply to the Sales Invoice that will be generated for the disbursement.
- When I switch back to the Overview tab, I see that the original Item VAT Group I chose there has changed to the one I selected on the Project tab.
Is this correct behaviour? I would have expected these to stay as they are, the more so because when I set the Item VAT Group on the Overview tab, there is no impact on the Item VAT Group on the Project tab.
What am I missing and how can I get the desired effect I am looking for (different VAT Group and Item for the PO versus the SO)? Thank you for your help!
