VAT % must be set to 0

Hi guys,

Getting a very frustrating error. Here is the scenario.. trying to create a purchase order but whenever I key in an item, I get this error "VAT % must be 0 for Business VAT group SR and Product VAT group SR.

I checked through my VAT Setup and I want the VAT to be 7% when the vat business group is SR and the product vat group is SR.

The strange part is in my previous setup.. everything worked fine. I simply don't understand what changed.

Any suggestions

Thanks Suresh, that fixed it. Basically, my setup had GST BAS enabled which was forcing the gst to be 0 if the vendor is not a foreign vendor. It finally works.

Sorry I pressed submit before completing my answer:

On Vendor card - there is a field called "Foreign". when this field is ticked yes; normal GST wont apply. System then replaces the GST prod. posting group on the purchase line with the value setup on the purchases & payable setup. hence, system requires the GST to be 0%

Hope this clarifies it for you

[quote user="Suresh Kulla"]it seems the vendor is set as Foreign vendor on vendor and that is the reason it is throwing that vendor. I think if you uncheck that on the vendor it may resolve the issue[/quote]

It is reverse I guess.

Vendor is not set as Foreign vendor, that's why it is checking for VAT% 0.

If you set Vendor as Foreign vendor then it wont check.

Do you have a "VAT Prod. Posting Group" field on the purchase & payable setup. If so then system will require a 0% VAT whenever that particular VAT prod. posting group is used on purchase orders

Thanks

I think that object is part of NZ localization so i don't have those changes to check and it seems the vendor is set as Foreign vendor on vendor and that is the reason it is throwing that vendor. I think if you uncheck that on the vendor it may resolve the issue, but before that can you check when GetUnRegGSTProdPostingGroup is called, you can check that on the call stack window (right hand side) on the debugger. If you can capture that call we can check why it is even calling that function.

The code fails at GSTPostingSetup.TESTFIELD("VAT %",0);

So I used the debugger, and i found the code goes to this function.

Oddly enough, this code is never called in my testing company...

Hi,

Please check the VAT Identifier too. Could you post the screenprint of your VAT Posting Setup?

Is it an item or G/L Account?

Best Regards,

MMV
