How to select vat rate on purchase invoice

Posted on by 130

Hi,

I want to post a purchase invoice (without making a purchase order first). It is to be posted to a G/L account, say Office Supplies.

I can't enter the VAT product posting group on the invoice - there is no field for it and I cannot add the field from the Personalise option.

The only way I could get the invoice to post is if I go to the chart of accounts and give the G/L account 'Office Supplies' a VAT rate.

However, this means that if I buy something from a different supplier I will have to change the chart of accounts each time I enter an invoice.

How should I be managing this?

Thanks

    Hi Gavin, thank you for your answer. No I couldn't see this field. I tried again with the Personalise option and this time managed to find it and add it.

    Hi, On the Header you can find the VAT Bus. Posting Group field.

    Vat related fields can also be found in Line, but since they are not added to Page, they can only be displayed in Sandbox by Design feature. In the Production environment, an Extension needs to be deployed.

    Hello,

    When entering a Purchase Invoice, after entering the Vendor, you can add the VAT Prod. Posting Group column to the Purchase Lines.

    The Fast Tab for Invoicing already has the VAT Bus. Posting Group for the Vendor so the combination produces the VAT value.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi,

    The "VAT Prod. Posting Group" should be available on the Purchase Invoice lines as per below:

    Can you still not see this field?

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks
