Include VAT in employee expense G/L input

(6) ShareShare

Posted on by bcraigie 59

Hi,

I am following an example of creating an employee expense record in the G/L.  I have got on ok with general expenses such as coffee etc, but I have got stuck when I got to a receipt that the employee has provided which has VAT on it.

We want to be able to reimburse the employee the gross amount, but we need to record the VAT somewhere so the company can claim it back.

Is this possible when entering an employee expense into the General Ledger?

Thanks :-)

Brian

    Hello

    I will leave this open for the partner community to response if a solution does exist within a customization / extension. If you do not get further responses, you may want to raise a support ticket to Microsoft support.

    Thanks.

    Hello,
     
    I have exactly the same question as the above - does anyone have an answer to this?
     
    Currently the only way to record the VAT on expense claims that we have found is to set the employee up as a Vendor, and enter their expense claim as a Purchase Invoice. But this is a slower way of doing it, and we also lose the ability to see expenses history clearly on employee ledger entries.
     
    Thanks.

    Hello There,
     
    Almost one year later I'm kind of happy to land on this thread since I have the same question with the same underlying needs. Considering it is not yet possiblie to claim VAT on employees expenses I assume it was not (yet) included by Microsoft.

    We will then proceed by creating our employees as vendors as well but as mentioned by @Justin P. this is not ideal.

    Thanks and regards.
