When we purchase goods from out-of-state vendors, we pay the vendor no state sales tax; however, we are required to self-assess the sales tax payable to our own state. How should this be recorded in GP?
We create the GP SQL Server records outside GP from an external system.
I had thought that I could post the following distributions under one invoice:
| Account |
Acct Type |
Debit |
Credit |
DistRef |
| Inventory - Parts |
PURCH |
300 |
0 |
|
| Inventory - Parts |
PURCH |
24 |
|
|
| Accounts Payable - Trade |
PAY |
0 |
300 |
|
| Sales Tax Payable |
DUETO |
0 |
24 |
Self-Assessed |
However, it fails to post in GP with the following error: "The accounts payable distributions do not equal the actual amount."
The invoice record has Purchases and Doc Amt = $324. If I change these values on the invoice record to $300, it still fails to post with the same error.
Must I create a separate invoice for the self-assessed taxes payable in this scenario? Or is there another way to do this?
Thanks for any help you can give.
