Adjust VAT in general journal

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi 

I tried to adjust the VAT on the general journal ( picture one below)

Example Total incl VAT  (HST) = 113.00CND. I tried to make VAT to be 12.00 instead of 13. when I preview posting or post it is still 13.00. Can someone advise how I can manually correct when needed?

    Hi, Are you using D365FO GL journal? if yes, can you give us  some more insight like VAT percentage, Amount etc.?

    HI Ramit,

    I am using Business Central.  

    When I am posting the credit cards I would like to record  all the restaurants bills in the journal entry (I do not want to go one by one like purchase invoices) .  

    Example amount 113.00.  I mark: tax liable , taxable, ON (which is 13% ) and the system calculates 100 base + 13 HST . ( which is correct)

    But I need to exclude the tip and adjust the HST portion ( example 12.00 HST).  The system allows me to adjust, but when I post it the original amount of 13.00CAD is recorded.  It should be some kind of setup that I cannot find to click.

    Hello StelaP,

    This was moved to the wrong (D365Finance) forum.

    Put it back to the business central one where some experts should be able to give you some insights.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same issue.

    Just tested this in BC and it is possible.

    Maybe You have some kind of localization that changes how entries are posted?

    Re-check that the Journal template and Batch has the Allow VAT Difference (I assume this is checked, otherwise You would have error when trying to change VAT Amount).

    What I did:

    1) Create a line for amount 100, and Balancing account Bank. System calculates 20$ VAT

    2) I adjust the VAT Amount to 18$ and post the journal line

    3) The result is posted with 18$ VAT

    That is precisely how I'm doing it, I'm leaning towards agreeing that this is some strange regional thing.
